Creating Purity - The Meaning of Mandala Offerings
Morning Coursewith Gen Chonyi
Saturday 14th December 10.00am - 12.30pm
@ Kadampa Meditation Centre, Exeter, 55 Union Road, Exeter
In general ‘mandala’ means ‘universe’. In this practice we imagine a completely pure universe and offer it on behalf of all beings. These offerings accumulate great merit and are a powerful, creative and enjoyable way to overcome attachment, anger, ignorance and other delusions and to improve our understanding of emptiness.

“Normally we divide the external world into that which we consider to be good or valuable, bad or worthless, or neither. Most of the time these discriminations are incorrect or have little meaning. For example, our habitual way of categorizing people as friends, enemies, and strangers depending on how they make us feel is both incorrect and a great obstacle to developing impartial love for all living beings. Rather than holding so tightly to our discriminations of the external world, it would be much more beneficial if we learned to discriminate between valuable and worthless states of mind.”
