The summer solstice occurs on Tuesday, June 21st this year. The solstice, like the equinox, is a moment of change in the annual cycle. As instructed in The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra prayer, we recognize this change “at the solstices or at the turn of the year” with practice and recitation.
We are delighted that once again Mitra Dean Tyler Dewar will be joining us. He has generously offered to continue his teaching on the meaning and significance of The Aspiration Prayer. His online discussion will begin at 6 p.m., followed by practice and recitation of The Aspiration Prayer.

Mitra Dean Tyler Dewar was born in Nova Scotia, Canada. He has been engaged in the study and practice of Buddhism since 1996, becoming a student of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche two years later. He began studying the Tibetan language in 1997, and became an oral interpreter and textual translator for Nitartha Institute and Nalandabodhi in 2000.
Mitra Dean Tyler joined the faculty of Nitartha Institute in 2003 and was appointed as a senior teacher in Nalandabodhi in 2005. He has served as an oral interpreter for lineage-holding masters of the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism.
