How to Heal Ourself & Others
Buddha Vajrapani Empowerment Weekend
Friday, December 1 - Sunday, December 3
Blessing Empowerment and Teachings
with Gen Kelsang Rigpa
Follow-up Half-day retreat
Saturday, December 9 · 9am-1pm
During this weekend event, Gen Rigpa will grant the empowerment of Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of compassion. This empowerment blesses our body, speech & mind and ripens our potential for enlightenment. We will then receive teachings on the practice Prayers for World Peace that Kadampa centers engage in all over the world.
Through contemplating these prayers compiled by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, we learn to cherish others. If everyone sincerely prays to be able to cherish others, then gradually through the power of this prayer, everyone will actually cherish each other. The world will then be permanently at peace, and pure and everlasting happiness will pervade the entire world.
