Offering a Pure Universe: The Practice of Mandala Offerings

with Gen Lhadron

Teaching & Optional Guided Retreat
Saturday, February 12

"It is a remarkable quality of the mind that we first create objects in our imagination and them bring them into our everyday reality." - Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso If we understand the role of imagination, born from an understanding of karma and intention, we can create the self and world we wish to experience through engaging in the practice of mandala offerings.

Our Founder and Spiritual Teacher Geshe Kelsang Gyatso often says, "everyone welcome!"
