Circumambulation of the Stupa and Building
CIRCUMAMBULATION OF THE STUPA AND BUILDING |
|
According to the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, circumambulation is "a practice of purifying negative karma and accumulating merit in which a person walks clockwise around a holy object such as a stupa or statue". Kadampa Center is blessed to have not only a stupa, but a building filled with statues, thangkas, and holy texts ~ all of which are powerful objects for circumambulation practice. While onsite at Kadampa Center, be sure to take a few laps around the stupa and building on the circumambulation path. This accessible pathway is there for the benefit of all and can be used anytime! The Center does not have to be open, and you can even bring your family, friends, and pets to reap the benefits of circumambulating around the stupa and the entire building. |
