SPECIAL PERFORMANCE: Mandala Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara

We invite you to join us for an afternoon dance performance at Tara Mandala. This dance offering is based on a mind treasure of the great Terton Chokgyur Lingpa. Arranged and choreographed by Prema Dasara, a western female dancer and dharma guide, it has been offered to some of our most revered Tibetan masters for the past 33 years. By employing the power of mantra, the profound techniques of Tibetan Buddhist mind training and focused intention, and utilizing movement meditation as a vehicle of empowerment, the dancers will embody Buddha Goddess Tara, revealing her sublime qualities to the world. With each sacred offering, they will pray that the earth and all beings are blessed and healed, that all may be happy and free from suffering.

This event will begin with a delicious vegetarian lunch, followed by the performance. All are welcome. Event price is $55 through advance registration only, although no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. If cost is a challenge for you, please contact Registrar at registrar@taramandala.org. This event is a fundraiser for Tara Mandala, additional donations are encouraged.

“A dance without ego. Watching, I was transported, in an altered state. We were in Tara’s Pure Land. We were all practicing together. This is a true sadhana practice.”
