Alkaline water and Indian Chai will be served.
Afterwards, experience the wonderful and delightful Tibetan Buddhist Tea Ceremony. Before the ceremony, each person is invited to make a wish to be granted by Dharma Guardians. In this ritual, a bowl and a cup are set in the center of the Lama’s table and golden nectar is poured into the cup, symbolic of our lives. As the tea overflows, there is a reminder that when we are open to receive, our blessings also overflow.
After the ritual, wishes will be sealed with the resounding music of the monks’ traditional deep chanting.
Reservations are recommended because of limited seating.
