The Art of Torma Making
How to Make Authentic Tormas
Special Ritual Workshop
Tormas are traditional custom-made food offerings (usually made of marzipan) that are offered to the Buddhas in various ritual practices and prayers such as empowerments, retreats and chanted prayers. Representing an offering of great bliss, tormas can range from very simple to exquisitely beautiful.
Eng Chuen Chuah, gompa manager and ritual assistant at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada, will lead this hands-on workshop, teaching this beautiful art. The workshop will be informal, practical and a lot of fun. It is suitable for everyone, whether you are an experienced practitioner or a complete beginner. So come join us as we learn about the various types of tormas and how to make them in a qualified manner according to the New Kadampa lineage. Everybody welcome!
