Constructing of VAJRAKILAYA MANDALA
On December 17th , during Ganapuja, the ground for Vajrakilaya mandala will be officially handed to Venerable Martin Boord (Rigzin Dorje Lama). On occasion of that, we would like to establish a meditation-friendly place in Stare Czarnowo, Poland. We want to make it non-sectarian, allowing people to practice Dharma from various traditions, not limiting it to one lineage.
On this earth there will be a Gompa of Samantabhadra (Kuntu Zangpo), retreat houses, but the priority for now is Vajrakilaya Mandala.
It will be the first such Mandala in Europe. It's a great luck and blessing not only for the local region, but for the whole wide world. The fruit of Vajrakilaya practice is the state of Kuntu Zangpo. Vajrakilaya was the practice of Buddha Padmasambhava and his consort, Yeshe Tsogyal. It is the most powerful form of Heruka, but also of the protection diety, which is very helpful for present, harsh times.
To create such a Mandala we will need a lot of accessories. One can offer any of those for the Mandala - vajras, drilbu (bells), kapalas, Tantric weaponry (phurbas, kartris, hacks, hammers & so on), figurines, materials (brocades, silk), flags, and others.
We also organise a raise of tools and materials needed for the construction of the house with three-dimensional Vajrakilaya Mandala.
If one has any saw, shovel, drill, or any other building tool which You don't need anymore, but also any leftovers of building materials, floor boards, old windows, old trailers or concrete mixers, deconstructed barn or any other old building from which one could recycle any material - this all would be very much in need. It would be also auspicious, if one could support us financially. We also search for architects, that would like to contribute to the construction by making a building plan. We want to begin the works in the spring time - and any help would be good.
