Each year during the Vaidurya Healing Festival (VHF), we unite with deep compassion and a shared sense of purpose for a 49-day Medicine Buddha practice dedicated to the healing of Mother Earth and all sentient beings. This practice nourishes both body and mind, guiding us toward spiritual growth and material well-being, while alleviating the world’s suffering.
In response to the increasing challenges of natural disasters and oceanic pollution, Singha Rinpoche has given precious advice on prayers focused on healing the nagas and promoting human-nature harmony. Through these efforts, we are committed to promoting holistic healing for ourselves and the environment. By joining us in this mission, you contribute to the collective well-being and prosperity of the world, benefiting not only yourself but countless others.
Join us in accomplishing 100,000 mantras globally, dedicating to the healing of our inner and outer worlds, and the wellbeing of all sentient beings with whom we share the world with. Do your part by contributing to our common goal!

Sacred Mirror
The Sacred Mirror represents consciousness and the element of space. Clear, pure and bright, the mirror reflects all phenomena objectively without bias, thereby reminding us to practice objectivity and to rise above our judgmental minds. On a more subtle level, it reflects the Buddha’s core teaching of emptiness – that nothing exists on its own side without a dependent arising cause.
Pinnacle of the mirror
The pinnacle of the mirror, formed by the white crescent moon, flaming red sun and an orange flame of fire, represents the completion stage of Vajrayana practice.
Light Rays
The light rays radiating from the Sacred Mirror represent the flourishing of the Buddha’s teachings, fanning out to the furthest reaches of the universe.
Full Moon Disc
The moon disc represents Bodhicitta, the aspiration to become a Buddha to benefit all sentient beings.
Blue Lotus
Divinely fragrant, blue lotuses bloomed only in the Buddha’s time. By incorporating it into the temple’s logo, it is symbolic of the ever-present Buddha in Thekchen Choling. Moreover, a lotus flower represents purity, perfection, compassion and renunciation, similar to how the beautiful lotus remains untainted even though it had arisen out from the muddy waters.
Nine Precious Jewels
These nine precious jewels represent the Guru, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, yidam or mind-seal deity, Dharma protector, the sky, earth, and the human realm.
Two Dragons
The two dragons represent continuity and harmony and create the cause for the temple to enjoy the strong support of members and benefactors for Dharma to flourish.
Golden Khata
The flowing golden khata represents the auspicious increase of all Dharma activities.
