Pets Day Out: Medicine Buddha Puja for Pets
Join us on Sunday, 8th September 2024 for a blessed healing puja dedicated to your beloved furkids. Held in place of September’s Pets Day Out, this is a pet-friendly puja where everypawdy in your furmily — both two and four-legged – is welcome!
It is a wonderful opportunity for your furbabies to be blessed by the Supreme Healer Medicine Buddha — for good health, long and happy life, and swift recovery from illness.
Pawrents can also chant Medicine Buddha’s mantra during the puja for increased blessings — as YOU have the most direct karmic connection with your pet.
We encourage you to attend in person as your pets will receive an individual blessing during the puja.
