A Year of Career Blessings: Reflecting on Our Final Session of 2026

Thank you to everyone who joined us throughout the year for our Career Blessings sessions. With our final session on 20 September, we mark the end of this year’s Career Blessings programme.

We were grateful to welcome around 100 participants to our final session, which began with a career talk exploring one of the challenges many of us encounter at work — interpersonal relationships.

At the heart of the discussion was communication, and more importantly, compassionate communication. Compassion is not simply something we learn about; it is a quality we can gradually cultivate through our everyday interactions. Whether it is with our colleagues, friends or family, every conversation can be an opportunity to practise understanding, patience and kindness.

The session also offered a deeper understanding of what Career Blessings truly mean, and how they relate to our careers and everyday lives.

In Buddhism, we learn about the principle of karma — that our actions, thoughts and intentions create causes that shape our experiences. This is also a concept explored in our Lamrim Discussion Class, where we learn practical ways to transform our mindset and actions, and in turn, bring positive change into our lives.

During the Blessing Puja, our Recitation Team guided participants in reciting the praises and chants of Green Tara, allowing everyone to learn about and connect with the meaning and benefits of these practices.

As we close this year’s Career Blessings, we hope everyone takes away not only blessings for their careers, but also a little more clarity, compassion and wisdom to carry into their daily lives.

Thank you for being part of our Career Blessings journey this year.

Stay tuned for more Blessing Pujas and meaningful programmes coming your way. We look forward to seeing you again! 🙏
