Mamo Chant Practice

February 3rd—February 10th (2021)

Date details +

    During the last 11 days of the Tibetan lunar year, we do end-of-year practices and activities in order to lay the ground for a positive transition to the New Year. The first 10 of these days are a time for intensive practice, focused on the Pacifying the Turmoil of the Mamos chant as a way to help overcome obstacles that might hinder our life and activity, and the enlightened activity in the community and the world. The end of the year is seen as a karmically positive time to do these practices.

    Along with this, the period before Shambhala Day could be used for cleaning our household and shrine, resolving debts or disputes, gathering our energy, and so on. The last day before Shambhala Day is a “neutral day” on which we could do the final preparations for the New Year, having finished the practice from the 10 days before.

    When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

    For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

    Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
