Mantras and Prayers of Buddhist Enlightened Goddesses

Mantras and Prayers of Buddhist Enlightened Goddesses with Dr. Sangseraima Ujeed Discover the world of Buddhist Goddesses through the power of chanting and contemplation. In this experiential workshop, we will explore the stories, symbolism, and qualities of enlightened female figures in Buddhism, including the Bodhisattva Tārā and other wisdom and compassion deities. Through guided chanting of traditional Tibetan and Mongolian prayers and mantras, we will discover how these practices have been used for centuries to cultivate courage, wisdom, compassion, and protection. We will explore not only what these sacred words mean, but how we might bring their qualities into our own lives. No prior experience with Buddhism or chanting is necessary-just curiosity and an open mind.
