KTC Saturday Sadhana Workshop: White Tara Practice

IN-PERSON AND ON ZOOM

This 2 1/2 hour workshop will introduce the WhiteTara Practice as it's recited at Columbus KTC on Sunday mornings. Tara is the awakened bodhisattva of compassion in action, and is associated with the removal of obstacles and protection from illness and untimely death.

Instructor Lama Kathy Wesley will explain the history and background of the prayer text, show us how to read Tibetan transliteration, and teach us elementary visualization techniques. The class will cover the main part of the White Tara prayer text by the 8th Tai Situ Rinpoche Tenpai Nyingje.

Participants will finish the workshop knowing how to read a Tibetan prayer text, and be prepared to participate in the White Tara practice at KTC.

There are no prerequisites for this workshop; anyone may attend.
