A mandala offering is a traditional imagined offering whereby you envision the entire universe transformed into a pure land and then mentally offer this to the Buddhas. A beautiful and creative practice, it is an extraordinary method for generating positive energy and good fortune. Each session will be self guided and include chanted prayers and plenty of time to explore this practice of making mandala offerings. Please bring the book The Oral Instructions of Mahamudra – available for purchase in our bookstore.
It is important to attend the introduction, Gen Lhadron will give the essential instructions on the mental practice of making mandala offerings as explained in the oral instructions of Mahamudra. Offering a mandala is offering the entire universe purified. It is a scientific method to attain the pure land of a Buddha and accumulate vast merit. If you can’t make it to the intro, come to the session at least 15 minutes early so that a sangha member can give you the instructions.
The introduction for this retreat will be available for livestream for members. See members livestream area for access.
