We all wish for spiritual realizations, but this depends upon many preliminary practices such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit and receiving blessings. In this annual retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit, or positive energy, by making mandala offerings and receiving blessings by engaging in Guru Yoga practice. Engaging in the practice of Guru Yoga together with making Mandala Offerings creates a vast collection of merit through which we can receive powerful blessings from our Spiritual Guide. In so doing, we fulfill all our spiritual wishes. Kadam Ricc will explain how we can continue the retreat all week - even in the midst of our busy days! Sessions last an hour and thirty minutes - this retreat is more appropriate for experienced students, however all are welcome.

Session 1 10:00am - 11:30am The Meaning in Guru Yoga and Mandala Offerings
Session 2 1:00pm - 2:30pm Creating the Mandala
