Wisdom and Imagination: Creating a Pure World Mandala Offering Retreat

This in-depth meditation retreat will emphasize the powerful meditation practice of mentally offering a pure universe filled with pure environments, pure enjoyments, populated by a pure society helping one another attain pure happiness and peace. “Mandala” means a pure universe filled with pure environments, pure enjoyments, populated by a pure society helping one another attain pure happiness and peace.

This retreat will use the beautiful and blessed traditional prayers, Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra and emphasize the powerful meditation practice of making mental mandala offerings. By engaging in these meditations sincerely we can transform our body, mind, environment and activities into the blissful wisdom of enlightenment. Guided meditation sessions will include a brief explanation and guidance during meditations, whereas the unguided sessions will leave more time for self-guided meditation.

Introduction and Guided Session led by Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Khyenwang.

How often do you find yourself getting stuck in the past? We are all trying to improve our good qualities both to benefit ourselves and others around us, but we can get caught in a mindset thinking that there are just some things we can’t change. When we relate to ourselves as fixed and unchangeable, thinking “This is how I am”, we lose touch with our actual potential for limitless growth, freedom, and profound inner peace and compassion.
In this lecture, Gen Kelsang Khyenwang will share Buddha’s teachings of the truth of impermanence and the wisdom that understands reality and how these can free us from the ignorance of grasping at a self that no longer exists.

Everyone is welcome.

Led by Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Khyenwang.
