Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Preliminary Guide Retreat

Friday June 16 – Monday June 19

Cost: $5/session, Free for members

Guru Yoga and Mandala offering retreat combines two of the four great preliminary guides that we need to practice if we want to gain mahamudra realizations – the quick path to enlightenment.
We all wish for spiritual realizations, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings.
In this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit and receiving blessings. Making mandala offerings is the gateway to accumulating the collection of merit and attaining an enlightened pure land and Guru yoga is the gateway to receiving powerful blessings of all the Buddhas of the ten directions through our Spiritual Guide.
There will be four sessions a day and the practice is accomplished within the sadhana Offering to the Spiritual Guide.

There will be an introductory class explaining the practice on Friday, June 16 from 6:30 – 8pm.

Self-guided sessions will be held on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
