Celebration Of Guan Yin Renunciation Day

Date:  08 Nov 2025

Time:  8:00pm

Venue:  Nyingma Kathok Buddhist Centre

Guan Yin is often called The Great Compassionate One, who save beings from sufferings and calamities, a bodhisattva who will save those who are in dire straits. He is said to be the embodiment of all the Buddhas’ infinite compassion.

As long as we are born into the three realms of existence, we cannot escape the law of karma. Virtuous acts will beget happiness and evil acts will beget suffering. If we want to lessen our sufferings and clear obstacles to longevity, we need to perform virtuous acts. The most effective method is to practise the Buddha Dharma. Only through practising the Buddha Dharma, can our virtues increase and prevent or lessen the suffering arising from the maturing of the evil karma that we created in the past.

Our Centre will be celebrating Guan Yin’s Renunciation day on 19th day of the 9th Lunar Month at 8:00pm with light and flower offerings, and group practice of Guan Yin. Let us come and practise together on this day to nurture our virtues and grow our merits. It is said, through the sincere recitation of the six-syllable mantra of Guan Yin, all our wishes will be fulfilled and whatever we do will be free from obstacles.

** If you are unable to attend the blessing session personally, simply register to have offerings made on behalf of yourself or your loved ones. To ensure that the merits and virtues gathered from the offering and practice are not lost, please dedicate them not only to the quick attainment of yourself and your loved ones, but to all sentient beings.

Medicine Buddha Blessing & Chanting Month

Date: 21 Oct to 19 Nov,3pm on Sundays

Venue: Nyingma Kathok Buddhist Centre

Registration Form:  Download here …

Medicine Buddha is the Buddha of the eastern pure land of Pure Lapis Lazuli.  Medicine Buddha is regarded as the “King of Healing”.  He made vows to heal those who are sick and to cure all sentient beings that suffer from incurable diseases. In these modern times, we are all very busy with our worldly activities and responsibilities and have little time to purify negativities and accumulate merits.  Our negative karmas often ripen into all sorts of illnesses and problems.  Recognizing this, our resident teachers will be doing the Medicine Buddha Sadhana for the whole of the 9th lunar month on behalf of participants so that they can benefit from such a practice. Those who wish to have the Medicine Buddha Sadhana done on their behalf or their family members and friends, can do so by completing the form and sending it back to us.

* Participants are encouraged to join in the practice. If you cannot attend the blessing session personally, simply register to request blessing for yourself, your loved ones and/or all sentient beings. Please generate a positive motivation and dedicate this healing practice for the benefits of all sentient beings.

Auspicious Signs at Moktsa Rinpoche‘s Passing

On 10th September 2022, Moktsa Rinpoche left his physical body of this life while in a meditative posture, at his home in Kathok Monastery in Sichuan, China. It was the 15th day of the 7th month in the Tibetan calendar. Many auspicious signs accompanied his passing away. The clear mountain streams in the monastery turned into the colour of milk. Up in the sky, clouds took the form of Guru Rinpoche. Magnificent displays of rainbows and iridescence clouds can also be seen over Kathok Monastery. His sKu gDung (body relic) was subsequently placed in a gDung rTen (reliquary or stupa for body relic) constructed specially for that purpose.
