About this event
“In short, offering the mandala is offering a Pure Land generated through the power of correct imagination.” Oral Instructions of Mahamudra: The Very Essence of Buddha’s Teachings of Sutra and Tantra ~Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
The practice of offering the mandala is a very powerful practice for pacifying our unpeaceful minds such as attachment or craving and hatred. It is a special method for receiving the inspiration or blessings of enlightened beings and for improving our experience of love and compassion. In this half-day course through faith and correct Imagination we can learn how to create vast amounts of ‘good karma’ positive mental energy or ‘merit’ that will help Dharma realizations grow in our hearts.
