This is a special practice that enables us to strengthen our connection with our Spiritual Guide. We engage in the practice of correct belief and imagination by envisioning and offering pure worlds. We offer a pure world through correct imagination by making mandala offerings to the holy beings. To offer mandalas we can construct traditional rice mandalas or we can simply visualize pure worlds. Because the mind creates through karma, this practice is a powerful way to create good fortune through imagination. We receive powerful blessings through engaging in this practice.The actual session at 1:30pm is with Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers in conjunction with the migtsema prayer. We have quiet time concentrating and meditating while constructing traditional rice mandalas and visualizations.Schedule:Session 1: 9:00-10:30am ~ TeachingTea break: 10:30-11amSession 2: 11:00am -12:00pm ~ practice making mandala offerings Lunch break: 12:00 – 1:30pm Prayers and practice: 1:30 – 3:00pm ~ the actual practice (optional) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/calgary/mandala-offering-workshop/100001987763345676 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 22.73, max: 22.73, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Calgary - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre - **lat**: 51.052776 - **long**: -114.10912200000001 - **full address**: Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre, 2120 Kensington Rd NW, Calgary, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Mandala Offering Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/14269b810c101b3237c8d787e7f6d53ea7e6e92dc15f6bbb116f9070654f9354-rimg-w1200-h600-dc8f191e-gmir.jpg?v=1776762977 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Mandala Offering Workshop being held? - **A:** Mandala Offering Workshop takes place on Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre, 2120 Kensington Rd NW, Calgary, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Mandala Offering Workshop? - **A:** Mandala Offering Workshop is organized by Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
