Tsa Tsa Making Class!

Padma Samye Ling Retreat Center in upstate New York  

August 6 and 7

 

Saturday, Aug 6

 

Sunday, Aug 7

 

 

Come to the Inconceivable Lotus Land of Padma Samye Ling to learn how to make tsa tsas! Tsa tsas are molded objects in the form of buddhas or stupas. Enjoy hands-on lessons in making and painting tsa tsas, and learn about their profound meaning and powerful merit!

 

Learn and perform the practice of making tsa tsas according to the ancient Buddhist tradition of Tibet. The Buddha taught numerous meritorious activities that bring benefit to oneself and others, including making tsa tsas. Each tsa tsa is a nirmanakaya given birth. Tsa tsas can be formed from space, fire, wind, water, or earth. We’ll craft earthen tsa tsas in the open air surrounded by natural beauty that reflects pure mind’s innate freshness.
