What's on in Bloomsbury

Greater London, England

Share:

Bloomsbury sits in the heart of Greater London with a quiet charm that makes even a Tuesday feel like a festival. The area has been hosting readings and small plays for decades while the local shops put on market stalls without breaking a sweat. You can catch a comedy night near the tube station or find a community group meeting down the road. Near Here keeps track of all the local gatherings so you never have to ask your neighbour what's on tonight.

Lama Chopa and Tsog Offering (Guru Puja)

Lama Chopa and Tsog Offering (Guru Puja)

Lama Chopa (also known as Guru Puja) is a practice of guru devotion special to the Gelugpa tradition. During this practice, the lamas of the graduated path lineage beginning with Shakyamuni Buddha himself, are invoked, extending to present direct teachers who have shown the path. Practitioners pay homage, make offerings, and request each of them to please bless their minds with the same realizations that they themselves have generated. By offering sincere, heartfelt requests, students make their minds ripe to receive the full blessings of this precious lineage and quickly actualize the realizations they need to attain enlightenment. If you wish to experience realizations quickly, the practice of Lama Chopa is indispensable. The benefits of the practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: Practicing this Guru Puja, which is an integration of the three deities, makes it much easier to achieve enlightenment in a brief life of this degenerated time. Doing this practice every day, with purification and many infinite skies of merit, brings the mind closer to the path to enlightenment and closer to enlightenment itself, and so much closer to freeing all sentient beings from obscurations and suffering and leading them to enlightenment.
