Who is Mara? 

How did he tempt the Buddha to obstruct Him from gaining Enlightenment?

How does he distract practitioners from the spiritual life?

Is he an entity having a literal existence or is he also a psychological force – a metaphor for various processes of doubt and temptation that obstruct spiritual practice?

In this session, we will share about Mara and how to overcome him and his forces.

We look forward to your loving presence.

Please wear comfortable clothing as we will be seated on the floor.
