Tormas are traditional food offerings (usually made of marzipan or fondant) that are offered to the Buddhas in various ritual practices and prayers.  Representing an offering of great bliss, tormas can range from very simple to exquisitely beautiful.

Kadam Amy will lead this hands-on workshop and teach us how to make tormas. 

Everyone is welcome to participate in this blessed ritual activity.

Statue Filling
Saturday, June 27
1:00pm - 3:00pm
with Kadam Amy Peng

As it says in the Statue Filling Instructions Booklet:

"Statues of Buddhas are a source of profound blessings for the people of this world. Even for non-Buddhists simply looking at a statue of Buddha will bless their mind and sow the seeds of virtue and future happiness.”

"For Buddhists, one of the commitments of going for refuge is to regard any image of a Buddha as an actual Buddha. It is therefore important that statues, stupas and so forth are properly prepared and filled correctly.”

"Filling statues in this special way is a very beautiful spiritual activity that creates the cause to become ‘filled with realizations’. If we fill a statue correctly we accumulate merit for as long as the statue exists."

Everyone is welcome to participate in this blessed ritual activity.
