Rare Buddhist Relics Come to Sedona This Weekend
A Free Event for People of All Faiths
I am so excited to tell you about a really phenomenal event called the Heart Shrine Relic Tour that will be in Sedona, Arizona from August 20-22 at the 7 Centers Yoga Arts on 2115 Mountain Road in West Sedona. This extraordinary collection of Buddhist relics is one of the most powerful things I have experienced in my life. Most of the relics, those found among the cremation ashes of Buddhist masters, resemble beautiful pearl-like crystals. Buddhists believe these relics are produced as a result of the master’s spiritual qualities of compassion and wisdom. In the presence of the relics I felt as if the Buddhist masters were all standing there bestowing their blessings on me. The peace and tranquility of mind that I experienced was truly amazing.
