Torma Making Workshop

KMC Ganden Ling is delighted to welcome Andy Kemp to our centre for a workshop on the traditional Buddhist art of torma making.

This is a rare opportunity to learn about and gain experience in making tormas which is a beautiful skill to hold and a valuable one in maintaining the tradition and the vision of Venerable Geshe-la, our kind Founder, to make the Dharma flourish in our world.

Tormas are traditional 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 prayers. Representing an offering of great bliss, tormas can range from very simple to exquisitely beautiful.
