Sunday Open Meditation: Two Talks on Tārā Practice with Mitra Tyler Dewar

About this event

2 Sundays September 6th and 13th, 2026 *** During these two talks on consecutive Sundays in the waning days of summer, Mitra Tyler will invite us deeper into deity practice in general and the meditation and mantra recitation of Ārya Tārā in particular. Delightful Q&A and discussion time to be included. Themes to be explored include: * How does deity practice help us get to know our own mind? * Can I do deity practice if I’m not good at visualizing? (You can!) * What is the mechanism by which Tārā is renowned for the ability to dispel fear and obstacles? * How can I relate to the ritual elements of the practice if they feel intimidatingly complex to me? Please join us! ***  presented by Nalandabodhi *** ## Schedule 10:00 am Open Meditation (sitting & walking) 11:00 am Dharma Talk by Mitra Tyler Dewar 12:00 pm Community Potluck Lunch ## Registration Nalandabodhi Seattle offers dharma teachings at no cost, but please consider making a donation if you are able.
