Malas and Mantras: A Path to Peace
Everyone is welcome to join us for this special event. Or should we say two events? We are offering a brief two hour workshop on mantra and an afternoon workshop on mala-making. You can attend one, or both, as you prefer.
Mantra Class (10am - 11:30am):
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 morning workshop we will learn the basics of mantra recitation, how to rely upon mantra, and the good results coming from mantra recitation. In other words, the how and why of mantras!
Mala Workshop (12:30pm - 2:30pm):
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 & using a Mala.
Make your very own Mala.
Lots of fun!
Everyone Welcome!
