Padmasambhava Day with Mitra ceremonies
Padmasambhava Day with Mitra ceremonies
On the afternoon of Sunday 20 September from 2 - 5 pm, we will be celebrating the life and influence of the great yogi Padmasambhava, a semi-legendary figure who is said to have introduced Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century and who is revered by many Tibetans as the Second Buddha. We will also be welcoming six new Mitras to our community - a Mitra being someone who has, at least provisionally, committed to Buddhist practice within the Triratna community. Join us to rejoice in their merits and witness their commitment.
