How to make tormas | Sun 18th May 2025 10am-1pm

Tara IKRC is delighted to be holding a workshop on the traditional Buddhist art of torma making. Tormas are traditional custom-made food offerings (usually made of marzipan or fondant) 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.

Kelsang Pagma will lead this hands-on workshop, teaching this beautiful art. She is very happy to share her many years of experience making tormas with everyone interested.

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.

Everyone is welcome. Space is limited and pre-registration will be required to be assured we have appropriate supplies.
