SUMMARY:Ven. Choji-la’s Birthday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Bless your furkids to have good health and long life with a pet-friendly healing puja dedicated to everypawdy in your furmily — both two and four-legged! It is a wonderful opportunity for your furbabies to be blessed by the Supreme Healer Medicine Buddha — for stable health\, swift recovery from illness\, and a long and happy life. \n\nPawrents can also chant Medicine Buddha’s mantra during the puja for increased blessings — as YOU have the most direct karmic connection with your pet. \n\nWe encourage you to attend in person as your pets will receive an individual blessing during the puja. 						\n				\n				\n				\n					\n			\n		\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			Event Details		\n				\n				\n				\n							\n 	Sep 13\, 2026 (Sun)\n 	9.00 am – 11.00 am\n 	Kechara Forest Retreat\n 	Free\, please RSVP here.\n 	All pawticipants must follow the Pet & Pawrent Guidelines.\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					\n			\n		\n				\n				\n				\n				\n												\n																					Your furkid will receive an individual blessing during the Medicine Buddha puja for pets.\n										\n									\n				\n				\n				\n					\n			\n		\n				\n				\n				\n				\n												\n																					All pets are welcome — big\, small and everything in between!\n										\n									\n				\n				\n				\n					\n			\n		\n				\n				\n				\n				\n												\n																					\n										\n									\n				\n				\n				\n					\n			\n		\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			Benefits for furkids and pawrents		\n				\n				\n				\n							\nHeals illness and disease\nExtends life\nIncreases pawsitivity\nHelps with accurate diagnosis\nIncreases the effectiveness of medicines and medical treatments\nEnhances the work of doctors\, vets\, nurses and healers\nPurifies negative body karma\nCreates causes for favourable future rebirths\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					\n			\n		\n				\n				\n				\n				\n												\n																					Your pets cannot accumulate merit and purify karma on their own.
