Mandala Practice is one of the fourPreliminary Tibetan Buddhist Ngondro Practices, along with Refuge, Vajrasattva, and Guru Yoga. Mandala practice is a means of developing generosity by cutting through attachment and desire. During Mandala Practice, we visualize offering the entire universe to all Buddhas and Bodhisatvas, to the Dharma and the Sangha.


All of the wealth of the universe is symbolized by the rice held in our hands. We visualize each grain of rice as a jewel and offer it as an act of generosity to all.

Drupon Rinpoche Dorje will lead a 2 day teaching on the meaning and application of the Mandala, including hands-on instruction on its creation.

If you have your own mandala rings that you would like to use for practice, please bring them.
