A Purification Practice

How to Engage in the Vajradaka Burning Offering

Cost: $15 | Free for members

This is a powerful ritual practice for purifying the negative karma of ourself or of those we care about. This class and retreat sessions will be an excellent introduction to the practice; we will develop confidence and familiarity in the practice and purify negative karma and obstacles.
All are welcome.

“It is a very powerful method for purifying our own negative actions and it can also be used to purify the negative actions of others, whether they are alive or dead.” – Vajradaka Burning Offering Sadhana.

May all the negativities, obstructions, and degenerated commitments I have accumulated during beginningless lives in samsara [be purified] SHÄNTING KURUYE SOHA
