To date, the Foundation has focused on group therapy programs
that integrate the latest in psychotherapy techniques with spiritual

| The Power of Aspiration Prayers in Challenging Times |
|
While aspiration can refer to the act of breathing, it also is a strong desire to achieve something great. The Buddha and many bodhisattvas wrote Aspiration Prayers for us to recite because they knew that the repetition of them would be an effective support for reaching our goals. For example, an Aspiration Prayer for enlightenment and freedom from suffering is an unmistaken and unselfish prayer. Simply reciting these prayers can benefit all sentient beings.

| Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Namgyal Monastery are creating a Sand Mandala at the Historic Monte Cristo |
|
Please join us for the creation of a Buddha of Compassion (Avalokiteshvara) Sand Mandala by the Monks of the Namgyal Monastery at the Historic Monte Cristo, 1507 Wall Street, in downtown Everett from April 8-11. The free event is open to the public daily from 10 am to 5 pm.
The Mandala, a Tibetan sand painting, is an ancient art form of Tibetan Buddhism. “Mandala” is a Sanskrit word meaning cosmogram or “world in harmony.” The sand Mandala is carefully constructed from dyed sand particles as vehicle to generate compassion, to realize the impermanence of reality, and to create a social/cosmic healing of the environment.
The Buddha of Compassion Mandala invokes compassion and sensitivity to the sufferings of others and attempt to relieve suffering. It is the realization that we (human beings, animals and the earth itself) are all interconnected. (view flyer)
