Abundant merit - the practice of making Mandala offerings

Making mandala offerings is a beautiful Buddhist practice that harnesses our pure imagination and wisdom. These offerings of an imagined pure universe are a powerful method to accumulate a vast collection of merit or positive energy. Everything ‘good in our life’ is ultimately due to the positive karma or merit we have created in the past. Merit is the main cause of all our success in daily life and in our spiritual practice, so we need to gather an abundance of it.

This practical workshop will focus on learning how to make mandala offerings with a kit as well as with our mind. We’ll also learn the meaning of mandala offerings.

Please bring your mandala kit if you have one. If you don’t have one, please let us know and we will arrange for a kit for you to use.

Following the workshop, on Sunday, there will be an opportunity to engage in a one-day retreat to make many mandala offerings. The retreat also provides us with a special opportunity to make a deep connection with our Spiritual Guide and receive their blessings.
