Mantra meditation is one of the easiest and most accessible practices of Tibetan Buddhism.
Visualizing oneself as a Buddha or bodhisattva while reciting a mantra and making aspirations for the benefit of beings is a powerful way to connect to our own inner goodness and send love, compassion and wisdom to other beings.
In this Zoom event, His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa will bestow the reading transmission (lung) and instructions for his newly composed White Tara Longevity sadhana — a rare and precious opportunity to receive the blessing of this practice directly from the author himself.
The sadhana is entitled “The Feast of Deathless Nectar: A Method for Offering Longevity Prayers to the Holy Masters Through the Practice of White Tārā, the Wish-Fulfilling Wheel.”
This is an extraordinary occasion to receive a living transmission of a fresh composition by one of the foremost Buddhist masters of our time. All are welcome.
Practitioners of all experience levels are welcome to attend. There are no special prerequisites for this watch party.
You can download a Tibetan-language version of the text here. We hope an English version will be available next week.
