Padmasambhava Festival

Transforming Demons

Sat 19 – Sun 20 Sep | In person, with online elements

Led by Maitreyabandhu and Amalasri

On this weekend festival we will celebrate the significance of Padmasambhava, the great Buddhist teacher and founder of Nyingmapa Buddhism.

Half-historical and half-mythical, Padmasambhava, ‘that second Buddha’, is associated with transforming the gods and demons of Tibet, and giving them a treasure to guard. He is a kind of transcendental magician, a yogi, a teacher, and a mystic. We’re going to celebrate by creating our own 'Buddhist Halloween', with music, ritual, talks, and – of course – demons.

More details to follow soon.
