Workshop - Vajrasattva: The Joy of Purification

From Aryaloka Buddhist Center on Mon, 5 Nov, 2012 - 16:23Sunday, November 18th, 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Enter the mythic realm to explore and experience the purifying nectar of Vajrasattva – the Buddha “beyond space and time!” Vajrasattva practice is a way to purify our defilements and recognize the primordial, pure nature of the Buddha within us. The retreat will include a guided meditation, discussion, Vajrasattva puja, and chanting his mantra – perhaps 108 times!

Led by Akashavanda, an enthusiastic Vajrasattva practitioner.
