Join us for a Medicine Buddha Puja (healing ritual) followed by a Closing Ceremony as the monks from our Geshes' house in India deconstruct the healing mandala!
Prior to the deconstruction of the Sand Mandala of Healing, a Medicine Buddha Puja (healing ritual) will be held. It is said that just by seeing a mandala, obstacles are removed to better position us to have success along the path to enlightenment. Additionally, participating in the Medicine Buddha Puja, while in the presence of a completed healing mandala, is extremely beneficial. After the puja, in recognition of the impermance of all phenomena, the mandala will be deconstructed during a Closing Ceremony, and the sacred sand will be taken to a body of water to be dispersed to benefit other living beings. Some of the blessed sand will be available for attendees to take home, including instructions on how to use it.
Bring friends and family of all ages ~ everyone is welcome and encouraged to come!
