Mantra is a Sanskrit word that means “protection”. Mantra recitation is an important – and some might say magical – aspect of meditation practice. In this class we will learn about the basics of mantra recitation, the good results that come from it, and how to incorporate it into your practice.

Malas, or prayer beads, are used when reciting mantras or prayers. For Buddhist practitioners, their personal mala becomes a blessed and meaningful object.

In this practical and hands-on workshop, we will learn the traditional technique of mala-making and go home with a completed mala. This is a great opportunity to make a hand-made meaningful gift to offer this holiday season. Children are welcome!

Beads, and all other materials will be available, but you can also bring your own beads to use, if you wish.

Registration required to ensure we have enough supplies.

Are you at a loss as to how to help our world? We are not separate from our world; each of us influences this planet and everyone on it. In these uncertain times, it is so important to learn to meditate because the bigger our heart the more difference we will make. We’ll start with breathing meditation, followed by a contemplative reading & teaching from the book, 8 Steps to Happiness, then the beautiful “Prayers for World Peace” and a final meditation.

This special chanted prayer practice, known as Lama Chopa in Tibetan, is done in our centers and temples all over the world on the 10th and 25th of every month. This puja is an opportunity to make many offerings from our heart and request inspiration and insight from our Spiritual Guide so that we can attain realizations of all the stages of the path, the six perfections, and generation and completion stage Ta**ra. It expresses our wish to become a Buddha ourselves so we can help everyone attain the state of freedom and happiness.

Are you at a loss as to how to help our world? Don’t be! Be part of a real peace initiative, learning practical meditations that will remove the causes of conflict and bring happiness and healing to yourself and others. We are not separate from our world; each of us influences this planet and everyone on it. In these uncertain times, it is so important to learn to meditate because the bigger our heart the more difference we will make. One of the extraordinary qualities of the mind is its power to create. It is more urgent than ever to ask "What does fear create?”, "What does love create?” And then ask ourselves, "What am I creating, moment by moment?"

We'll gradually learn to dissolve "Us" and "Them" and harness our immense power to bring goodness into the world, and to create the world we long for.

Illness often arrives uninvited, disrupting our lives and plans. Yet within its difficulty lies a profound opportunity for awakening. This course invites participants to explore illness—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as part of the path itself.

Through teachings, guided reflections, and shared inquiry, we’ll examine how physical and mental suffering can open the heart, deepen compassion, and reveal the impermanence and interconnection at the core of spiritual life. We’ll engage illness as a teacher—one that strips away illusion, humbles the ego, and brings us closer to truth.

Whether you’re navigating illness personally, supporting others in their healing, or simply wish to prepare your heart for what life inevitably brings, this course offers a space for transformation and meaning.
