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. Our calendar follows the Tibetan lunar cycle, highlighting days like Losar, Saka Dawa, and Chökhor Düchen. In the Buddhist tradition, these are considered merit-multiplying days, where the karmic energy of our actions is amplified significantly. We use this time not just for prayer, but for connection. You might join us for a Shakyamuni Buddha Puja, participate in the recitation of the Golden Light Sutra, or simply sit in meditation while we make water bowl offerings. Because we want these teachings to be accessible to everyone in Bangalore, we offer a hybrid format. Our Domlur centre provides a quiet, dedicated space for physical attendance, while our Zoom link ensures that our community members across the city and beyond can join the practice from home. The focus is always on participation, not perfection. You will find seniors helping newcomers with the prayer books, and our teachers are always available to explain the significance of the day. If you are new, you might start by simply observing the group dynamics or enjoying the tea and conversation that often follows our sessions. These celebrations are the heartbeat of our centre, keeping our community rooted in compassion and shared wisdom. ## About Choe Khor Sum Ling We are the community at CKSL in Bangalore, welcoming everyone from curious beginners to dedicated students. We believe that meditation and study are most effective when done together, which is why our doors in Domlur are always open for these shared celebrations.
