Introduction to Feast Offering - Self-Paced Study

This training provides an introduction to feast offering and, in particular, the Mahayanagana Feast practice that is central to Awakened Heart Sangha.

A feast is a coming together and a bringing together. It is an assembly and a celebration. It is about gratitude, and one could also say it's about spiritual communion, communication and community. It is about generosity, auspiciousness and connections; a deliberately empowered time set aside to express shared values, trust, support, common purpose and mutual appreciation. It's a cementing of relationships or a renewal of them, a time for generating good energy within the mandala.

This training explores the content of Mahayanagana Feast practice and liturgy, including aspects of In Praise to the Three Jewels, the Seven Branch Prayer , the Shrimaladevi Sutra and the Bodhicharyavatara.
