The Power of Mantras workshop

Wai Cheong

About the teachings

Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the spiritual director of FPMT, has explained that the sound of a mantra has the power to protect us, holding our mind from nonvirtuous thoughts and fostering virtuous ones, thus allowing us to develop toward enlightenment. In this workshop, we explore the use of different mantras, accompanied by different visualisation practices, to bring positive changes to our heart and mind through calming distressing emotional reactions and enhancing mental clarity, concentration and kindness.

Mantra recitation is one of the simplest of spiritual practices and can bring great benefits. The workshop is based on the book, The Power of Mantra, by Lama Zopa Rinpoche (Wisdom Publications) and will feature explanations, guided meditations and time for Q&A. All are welcome.
