White Tara Study and Practice
with Venerable Lozang Yönten

Mondays, Apr 6, 13, 20 & 27, 7–8:30pm EDT ONLINE

White Tara Practice plants and ripens karmic seeds for life, merit and wisdom to increase. Her practices include those for protecting oneself and others as well as hooking back life force that is lost through the negative states of mind and behaviors we do as human beings.

Learn and practice with this rich and dynamic deity for both yourself and others. Each session will include explanation, sadhana meditation practice and time for Q&A.
