Following in the footsteps of St Francis of Assisi, 
renowned Buddhist master Lama Zopa Rinpoche, 
will perform an Animal Blessing for your companion animals. 
 
All welcome!
 
Most of us to love our companion animals (pets). 
We do so much for them -- feed them, love them, 
care for them, make them comfortable, 
take them to the vet when they're sick. 
Yet one of the most loving and beneficial things we can do for our pets
is to cater to their spiritual needs.
 
The Buddhist Animal Blessing does just this: 
by listening to recitations of prayers and mantras
and coming into contact with substances 
such as sacred Buddhist relics and blessed water, 
the animals will receive powerful imprints for peace and happiness 
that will help them during the transition from this life to the next.
 
Please keep your companion animal either leashed or in a carrier.
Shade and water provided.
Kurukulla Center is wheelchair accessible.
Everyone is welcome whether you have a companion animal or not.
 
Kurukulla Center is in a residential neighborhood.
Please be mindful to not block our neighbors' driveways when parking
