Foudation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition
MAITREYA
PROJECTÕS
RELIC
TOUR
February
6-8 and 10-12, 2009
A
precious exhibition whose purpose is to inspire people of all spiritual
traditions and paths
to
come together to experience the blessings of sacred relics
from
the Buddha and other Buddhist masters
Lama Zopa
Rinpoche, a student of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
and Spiritual
Director of the Maitreya Project,
has gathered
together this unique collection of holy relics.
Beautifully
displayed around golden Maitreya Buddhas,
the relics
create a powerful atmosphere inspiring loving kindness.
During the
event, there will be blessing ceremonies for visitors using the relics.
These
crystal-like objects have been found post-cremation in the ashes of holy beings
such as the historical Buddha, his
disciples, commentators on his teachings,
lineage
founders and modern day lamas.
The
collection includes relics from Ananda, Shariputra,
Lama Atisha,
Lama Tsongkhapa, Milarepa,
and several
other great Buddhist masters from different traditions.
Visitors
often report experiences of inspiration and healing when in the presence of the
relics.
While some
are inspired to pray for world peace and to develop their inner wisdom,
others are
overcome by emotion as the powerful effects of the relics open their hearts
to compassion and loving-kindness.
