This series with Venerable Tenzin Gendun is from May 13-20. We will learn about the Mantras and Blessing the Speech. During this two-week series this is a time to listen and then ask questions about what you thought you knew about reciting different mantras, including blessing the speech.
There are two topics in this series. Tonight is session 1.
Tonight, we will be guided by Venerable Tenzin Gendun on Mantras Protect Your Mind: Join us in learning about why we recite specific mantras and the meaning behind each. In Buddhist practice, mantras represent enlightening speech and when repeated, protect the mind from destructive states. Mantras also shape the breath and consequently the subtle energy-winds, enabling one to bring the winds under control for use in meditation practice.
