🙏 Celebrating Guru Rinpoche’s Birth Anniversary | གུ་རུ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་འཁྲུངས་སྐར་དུས་ཆེན། 🙏

We warmly invite all members of the Bhutanese community, friends, and well-wishers to join us in the sacred celebration of Guru Rinpoche’s Birth Anniversary.

Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), the Second Buddha, is revered for establishing Vajrayana Buddhism throughout the Himalayan region and for blessing Bhutan as a sacred Beyul (Hidden Land). He concealed many sacred Ters (Treasures) to be discovered by realized Buddhist masters in future generations for the benefit of sentient beings and the preservation of the Dharma. This auspicious day is an opportunity for us to gather in prayer, accumulate merit, receive blessings, and strengthen our spiritual connection while celebrating our rich cultural and spiritual heritage.

📍 Venue: Bhutanese Centre
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
🚘 Parking: Please park at the Kaleen Shopping Center for the safety of pedestrians and to avoid street congestion.

The program will include prayers, offerings, recitations, and collective aspirations for the well-being, happiness, and prosperity of all sentient beings.

We encourage everyone to attend with family and friends and take part in this meaningful and auspicious occasion. Your presence and participation will help make this celebration a truly special community gathering.

🙏 We look forward to celebrating this blessed day together and receiving the profound blessings of Guru Rinpoche.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Sonam Dorji, Coordinator of the Australian Bhutanese Archery Championship Season IV, for providing BBCC with the opportunity to sell food during the ABA Championship tournament.

They coordinated the food stall, managed the food preparation, and generously donated their profit of $2,001 and two large cooking pots to the Centre.

Once again, we thank Sonam Dorji for giving this opportunity to BBCC and Aum Thinley Dema and Sonam Thinley for their time, effort, generosity, and unwavering support.

We wish them and their families good health, happiness, success, and prosperity. May they enjoy long life, peace, and continued blessings, and may their kindness and generosity bring lasting merit, good fortune, and the fulfilment of all their aspirations. 🙏
