About Special Celebrations & Auspicious Days

We do not just hold rituals; we create a space for collective intention. Whether you join us at our Domlur centre or online, these merit-multiplying days are about shared effort. You do not need to be a Buddhist or know the chants to attend. Just bring an open mind, a willingness to sit in community, and participate in a way that feels comfortable for you.
