Mantra practice (sometimes called “sadhana” practice in Sanskrit) is part of our weekly and monthly practice calendar here at Columbus KTC.
These short but profound meditation practices can help us connect to our inner qualities of love, compassion, healing, and wisdom. But since many are chanted in Tibetan, they can be a little difficult to approach.
To help our sangha members feel comfortable and welcome to attend our regular sadhana practices, we are offering these occasional workshops to help folks connect to mantra practice.
This month, Cathy Lhamo Jackson will offer a special two-hour workshop on the mantra practice of Amitabha Buddha, known as the Buddha of Boundless Light.
Topics covered will be the history of Dewachen (Pure Realm) practice, the short Amitabha sadhana by Namchu Mingyur Dorje, the principles of mantra meditation, and step-by-step instructions on how to learn and benefit from Tibetan Buddhist visualization meditation.
Practitioners of all experience levels are welcome to attend. There are no special prerequisites for this class. Students will receive links to download a short Amitabha chant practice PDF and a PDF of a teaching outline for the class.
