Unlock the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism with the transformative practice of the 35 Buddhas Prostrations. Dive into a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth as you embark on this profound practice revered for centuries.
What are the 35 Buddhas Prostrations? They are a sacred ritual of reverence, gratitude, and purification. By bowing down in prostration to enlightened beings, you pay homage to their wisdom and also connect deeply with your own inner Buddha nature.
Why should you incorporate this practice into your life? Here are just a few reasons:
1. **Inner Peace and Calm**: In today’s hectic world, finding inner peace is invaluable. The 35 Buddhas Prostrations practice offers a sanctuary of tranquility amidst the chaos, allowing you to cultivate a sense of calmness that permeates every aspect of your life.
2. Spiritual Growth: Delve into the depths of your spiritual journey with this profound practice. Each prostration is a physical act and an opportunity for deep self-reflection and transformation. As you bow down, you let go of your ego and open yourself up to higher consciousness, inspiring and motivating you on your spiritual path.
3. Purification of Negative Karma: Just as a river purifies itself as it flows, the 35 Buddhas Prostrations practice purifies your mind, body, and soul. By acknowledging your past actions and vowing to do better, you cleanse yourself of negative karma, leaving you feeling cleansed and rejuvenated and paving the way for a brighter future.
4. **Connection with Divine Energy**: Feel the divine energy coursing through your veins as you immerse yourself in this sacred practice. With each prostration, you draw closer to the enlightened beings, forging a deep and meaningful connection that nourishes your spirit.
5. **Physical and Mental Well-being**: Prostrating is a gesture of devotion and a form of exercise for the body and mind. You will experience improved flexibility, strength, and mental clarity as you engage in this dynamic practice.

In 2008 she did a one-year retreat at FPMT’s De-Tong Ling Retreat center on the western side of Kangaroo Island, just off the coast of South Australia.
Since 2013, and until the pandemic, Katy visited Lawudo Gompa annually for retreat, study, and to help Rinpoche’s sister with offerings in Rinpoche’s cave and main gompa, helping the tourists who come to stay, and baby cow care.
Prior to meeting her teachers, Katy studied Vipassana meditation with practitioners from Myanmar.
Katy has a BA Hons in Theatre Arts from Dartington College of Arts, U.K., a BA Hons in Psychology from Murdoch University, W.A, and a MA in clinical psychology from the University of Western Australia. She worked as a psychologist prior to moving to California to work for Liberation Prison Project.
