Dedication at the heart of the mandala

“Around this mandala, this sacred spot, may the lotus petals of purity open.

Around this mandala, this sacred spot, may the vajra wall of determination extend.

Around this mandala, this sacred spot, may the flames that transmute samsara into Nirvana arise.”

(Dedication Ceremony)

A weekend to dedicate our new retreat centre and focus on the profound truths hidden in the heart of the Dedication Ceremony itself.  Sangharakshita wrote the Dedication ceremony to dedicate our first Buddhist Centre, ‘The Triratna Meditation and Shrine Room’: a basement below a shop in central London.  Here it will be used to dedicate a new shrine room in an old Carmelite convent.  The same dedication, the same powerful aspirations, the same depth of feeling. 

Suitable for GFR mitras and Order Members. To be held at Tiratanaloka Ware.
