There continue to be significant disruptions and changes to many of our lives. The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra is a particularly powerful prayer during times of great change. Please join Nalandabodhi Seattle for our annual practice on the eve of Winter Solstice.
Mitra Tyler Dewar will open the practice with a recorded teaching on the themes of aspirations at the solstice. He will explore the content of the Aspiration Prayer to help lay the foundation for our recitation and practice.
