Meditation and Modern Buddhism

We are offering a morning workshop on mantra and an afternoon workshop on mala-making. Everyone is welcome to attend one or both!

Magic of Mantra 10 – 1pm Day Course
Mantra, a Sanskrit word that means protection, sometimes refers to a particular phrase that is recited. Mantra recitation is an important – and some might say magical – aspect of meditation practice. In this afternoon workshop, we will learn the basics of mantra recitation, how to rely upon mantra, and the good results that come from mantra recitation.

Mala Workshop 2 – 4pm workshop
Malas or prayer beads are used when reciting mantras and in other Buddhist practices. For Buddhist practitioners, their personal mala is a precious and meaningful object. Spend a morning learning the traditional technique of mala-making and how to incorporate mantra recitation into your meditation practice.

What to expect during this workshop:

• Receive teachings on the preciousness of a mala
• Learn the Buddhist technique for making and using a mala
• Make your very own mala.
• Have fun!
