COURSE INFO

Mantra means “mind protection”. For centuries, mantra recitation has been used to attain a peaceful and happy mind by pacifying the negative thoughts that give rise to our suffering. It is the supreme method to enhance the qualities of our body and mind.

On this course, the meaning of mantra and instructions on how to recite mantras and combine mantra recitation with breathing meditation will be explained. This special breathing meditation is a simple and powerful method to attain a calm, controlled and positive mind and is ultimately the cause of the supreme inner peace of enlightenment.


“This meditation produces many good results. It calms our mind and causes our distracting conceptions to subside. It strengthens our life supporting wind at our heart, thereby increasing our lifespan and protecting us from premature death…. It is far more powerful than ordinary breathing meditation….” —The New Meditation Handbook, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
