THE MAGIC OF MANTRA & MALA MAKING
MEDITATION COURSE & WORKSHOP
SATURDAY 19 OCTOBER | 10AM - 4.30PM
with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Wangmo & Kelsang Gakyi
Inner happiness. Inner Protection. Inner power.
The Magic of Mantra
Mantra means mind protection. It is the supreme method to enhance the qualities of our body and mind. It can be used to help calm our mind by pacifying negative thoughts that give rise to suffering and it can also be used to go deeper and connect with enlightened power.
On this morning course Gen Wangmo will explain the meaning of mantra, how it functions and the profound benefits of mantra recitation. She will introduce various mantra practices including combining mantra recitation with breathing meditation. This is a simple but powerful method to attain a calm, controlled and positive mind and creates special causes to experience the supreme inner peace of our enlightened mind. Everybody welcome.
Mala Making Workshop
Many people find it helpful to have a mala, or set of prayer beads, to use when reciting mantras. In the afternoon there will be a workshop where you can make your own mala.
