Member Class Online: The Practices of Mandala Offering & Guru Yoga with NEIL TOYOTA

  • Kadampa Meditation Center The Hamptons 720C Montauk Highway Water Mill, NY 11976 USA (map)

Continuing with our weekly exploration of Tantra, we will explore the practices known as the Four Great Preliminary Guides. While Sutra practice can be compared to a super highway that leads to liberation and enlightenment, Tantric practice is like a fast car that we use to get there quickly. The four preliminaries are like the four wheels of the car. If any of the wheels is missing, the car will not be able to function. Each week you will receive practical introductions to these essential practices.

Feb 17: Guru Yoga and Mandala Offering

The practices of mandala offering and Guru yoga are very profound and powerful ways to imaginatively experience the mind, environment and enjoyment ts of an awakened being, a Buddha. Built on the premise that once we “taste” the awakened experience, “see” the results, a nd “feel” the blissful nature of enlightenment, the energy and enthusiasm needed to engage in and enjoy a Tantric practice will naturally follow.

This course is designed to benefit anyone who is interested in the Buddhist path, from the seasoned practitioner to the merely curious. Join us for a single class or the entire series! Everyone is welcome.

This class we will be taught IN-PERSON in Huntington and online for members only.
