Green Tara Puja

Kadampa Center monks will perform a Green Tara puja at 2 p.m.  Green Tara, a female Buddha, has the power to remove obstacles and is the embodiment of compassion in action.

There will be a Green Tara sand mandala on display during the puja. At 3:00pm, there will be a closing ceremony where, with a remembrance of impermanence, the sand mandala will be deconstructed and taken to a body of water to be dispersed. Some of the blessed "sand" will be available to attendees with instructions how it can be used in Buddhist practice.
