The White Tara sadhana is one of the most powerful compassion practices in Tibetan Buddhism.

Note that the beginning time has been changed.

This one-day program explores deeper dimensions of the compassionate White Tara practice, identifying the powerful symbolism of the visualization, the inner meaning of the mantra, and the manifold applications of the practice to the suffering of our world.  Open to experienced or new White Tara practitioners committed to continuing the practice, we will tap the enduring heartfulness of one of the oldest compassion practices in Tibetan Buddhism.

Open to all.

Judith Simmer-Brown, will be assisted by Gisèle Laberge, Elise De Coster, Manon Langlois.
