Dear Dharma friends and Sangha,

I apologize for any inconvenience for the Dharma students that we will temporary postpone all the meditations and gatherings at DKC in Escondido due to the global coronavirus.

It is very important for everyone to continue with their individual practice at home and be careful about your health.  It is also important to prayer for those who are affected by this sickness around the world.  I strongly suggest that once a day everyone please practice the Parnasharvi practice and VajraVidharan.  VajraVidharan is also a very important practice to purify contamination and protect from many types of illness or virus.  In order to protect your self and others, these 2 practices and mantra recitation is very important.  This is not a time to panic or to be afraid, but a time to practice Dharma with strong devotion and dedicate it to all sentient beings.  I am also doing these practices every day.  By this great blessing may we recover quickly from this difficulty and bring peace.  When it’s time to resume the meditation and practice schedule at DKC, we will announce it in advance.

Thank you for understanding. If you have any questions, please reach out by email.  We deeply appreciate your kind support for the center and our resident monks and nuns.

ParnaShavari: (English)

Praise in Verses to the Goddess Who Eliminates All Diseases (Parnashavari)

Out of the mandala of dharmakaya’s great bliss, You protect against dangerous diseases like epidemics  And against untimely death– I pay homage to you, the mother of wish-fulfilling activities. 

You, golden-colored Parnashavari, sit on a lotus seat, Your main face is yellow, the right one blue, and the left one white Your hair is bound up in a topknot, and you are full of splendor– I pay homage to the divine body of the goddess granting accomplishments.

You, Illustrious One, are the embodiment of wisdom and compassion, You stand in the midst of masses of fire, burning like at the end of time,  With your three faces and six arms, you look terribly wrathful– I pay homage to you, whose one leg is stretched and the other bend.

You, who wears a robe of leaves, hold bow and arrow, Battle ax, and a bunch of branches. Parnashavari, you show the threatening mudra and hold a vajra– I pay homage to you, great mother, protectress of beings.

Mantra: OM PI SHA TSI PARNA SHA WA RI SARVA MA RI PRA SHA MA NI HUNG

By this virtue, may I swiftly accomplish Parnashavari and establish all beings without exception in her state.
