Making mandala offerings is a scientific method to attain the Pure Land of a Buddha.  This practice of the mandala offering is very profound and powerful, and attainments are achieved quickly.  These offerings of an imagined pure universe are a powerful method to accumulate a vast collection of merit or positive energy, which is the main cause of all of our success in daily life and in our spiritual practice. 

Using a mandala kit is an essential Kadampa practice.  This practical workshop will focus on learning how to make mandala offerings with a kit as well as in our mind. We will also learn the meaning behind mandala offerings. 

Please bring your mandala kit. If you don’t have one, please let us know and we will try to arrange for a kit for you to use.
