Sukhavati ceremony for Rex Saturday November 16th [Hybrid]

November 16th

Date details +
    Our sangha member Rex Maruca passed peacefully in his sleep on October 8th. The Seattle Shambhala Center will be hosting a Sukhavati ceremony for Rex Saturday, November 16th at 3pm, PST. 
     

    In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition it is understood that the individual’s mind transitions from this life to the next after death through the intermediate state or Bardo. In this transition, the mind has heightened awareness. Historically, it is taught that if the mind in the Bardo is not focused, pain and confusion could be experienced. In this state of heightened perception the mind is more receptive to being helped through the difficulties faced in the Bardo. The Sukhavati ceremony is performed for the benefit of helping the deceased transition through the Bardo by lessening suffering, fear and loss and offering focus and clarity.

     

    You are invited to take part in this ceremony and help honor the passing of Rex Samuel Maruca. Please join us in person or on zoom; and we will have time to practice in ceremony and share our stories of Rex. 

     

    For those coming in person, please try to park a block+ away from the center to minimize the traffic burden for the neighbors. Thank you.
