Half-day Course this Saturday: the 35 Confession Buddhas Practice, with Julia Strohm

This half-day event consists of two sessions with the second one including a Q&A.

In these two sessions we will learn about – and practice – a beautiful purification ritual that helps clear away difficulties in developing faith and conviction in Dharma and in making progress on the stages of the path to enlightenment. As with all purification practices, it also prevents our future suffering by purifying the negativity that comes from our past non-virtuous actions (i.e., negative karma).

Using recorded prayers as our guide, we will engage in three types of traditional practices: prostration, purification and dedication. The centerpiece of the practice entails visualizing the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas and practicing purification in their presence.

A brief explanation of the practice and its purpose will be given, but the emphasis in both sessions will be on engaging in lightly guided meditation with prayers and prostrations. There will be opportunities for questions and discussion.

Note: the practice is suitable for all physical abilities

Half-day Course this Saturday with Special Guest, Kadam Donna!

FREEDOM FROM INSECURITY

We all know what it feels like to be insecure. But do we know that it is possible to become completely free from insecurity? It is! Those feelings of insecurity do not reflect our actual nature. The practice of Buddhist meditation enables us to experience directly our pure nature for what it is: limitless potential.

In this course, through talks and guided meditations, we will develop this empowering insight so that we can easily let go of our limiting self-conceptions, freeing us to become the confident and joyful person we wish to be.

Everybody welcome!

Kadam Donna Campanelli is the Resident Teacher at Vajra Light Kadampa Buddhist Center in Mamaroneck NY. She has been studying and practicing Kadampa Buddhism for over 30 years and is a close disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. She is a wonderful example of Modern Buddhism – Dharma integrated into daily life. With skill and enthusiasm, humor and kindness, Kadam Donna shows her students how to transform day-to-day difficulties into a meaningful life.
