In Kadampa Buddhism, the practice of transference of consciousness is known as 'powa,' which literally means "transference". Join us each month to explore this ancient practice which involves guiding the consciousness of the recently deceased to the Pure Land of Buddha, a world free from the painful rebirths of samsara.
This class follows the monthly 'Prayers for the Recently Deceased' practice. This class will be based on the book Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, which is available in our bookstore, or here in e-book, paperback, and audiobook formats.

Join us for an introduction to mantra and mala making. Learn about Buddhist mantras and how to use a Buddhist mala (or rosary) in conjunction with mantra recitation to improve your peace of mind, compassion and wisdom. Enjoy a half-day course exploring this traditional art by making your own mala to take home with you.
A mala is a string of beads used to count prayers or mantra recitations. This is a simple practice that easily connects us with the good qualities of all enlightened beings, and helps us to realize our highest potential. For Buddhist practitioners, their mala is a very precious and meaningful object.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, whether you are an experienced practitioner or a complete beginner. Work at your own pace and receive guidance from experienced mala makers while enhancing your knowledge and creating a qualified mala according to the New Kadampa lineage. A vegetarian lunch and snacks will be provided.
