Saturday, January 17th  

10:00 am – noon & 2:00 - 4:00 pm      

In-person only

Pre-registration required

We will begin by gathering around the shrine. What are the objects that are placed on it, and why are those objects chosen to be there? Participants will be able to hold and move many of the offerings, to become comfortable around the shrine.

We will particularly familiarize ourselves with the offering bowls, which are utilized at all practices and teachings in the sanctuary. How do we fill them with appropriate offerings, and then “close the shrine” at the end of practices and events? Everyone will have time to practice (or refine) these basic skills during our time together.

This training is open to all those who are interested in the sanctuary, and the ways that volunteers care for it.

Lama Yeshe will be joined by leaders for the teams that keep the shrine, sanctuary, and guest teacher accommodations prepared for all events. They will support the learning process for shrine tending, and briefly share information about their teams’ activities.
