The Blessing Empowerment of Vajrasattva
December 31, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 5:00 pm
$60
**PRE-REGISTER HERE. SPACE IS LIMITED.**
An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we make a direct connection with a Buddha and receive powerful blessings.
Guru Vajrasattva is the Buddha of purification, from whom we can receive special power to purify the potentials of all our negative actions. When spiritual seekers develop a wish to purify the negative karma within their minds, all the Buddhas appear as Vajrasattva.
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says, “Instead of blaming others whenever we experience problems, we should use our problems to improve our understanding of karma, or actions and their effects.” Improving our understanding of karma leads us to the conclusion – I must purify my negative karma BEFORE it ripens as suffering.
The empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we connect to Buddha Vajrasattva’s enlightened mind. By receiving these inspiring blessings, we can develop our own practice of purification and gain the confidence we need to progress along the spiritual path. Through the power of our continued practice and Vajrasattva’s blessings we can cultivate the pure compassion of a Bodhisattva, someone who can bring enormous relief to our suffering world.
Everyone is welcome!
