The gompa will be open for viewing and circumambulating the Mandala of Healing.

1:30pm
The Closing Ceremony begins.

All are invited to attend!

As Kadampa Center's first annual Healing Retreat comes to a close, all are invited to come view and circumambulate the completed Mandala of Healing prior to its destruction.  Beginning at 1:30pm, the Healing Retreat will conclude with a Closing Ceremony in which the Mandala of Healing will be deconstructed in recognition of the impermanence of all phenomena.  The blessed sand from the mandala will be distributed to attendees to take home with them, including instructions on how to use it.  Additionally, Geshe Sangpo will later disperse some of the sacred sand into a body of water, thus imparting healling blessings to all living beings everywhere.

Bring friends and family of all ages ~ everyone is welcome and all will benefit from simply seeing the Mandala of Healing!

If you are able to stay afterwards, volunteers will be needed to help take down the sand mandala table, remove the extensive offerings from the Healing Retreat's altar, reset the gompa, and help with general clean-up.
