Blessing Empowerment

 

 

The Blessing Empowerment of  Avalokiteshvara, Buddha of Compassion

and teachings on Taking and Giving

 

with Gen Kelsang Yangdak

 

An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we receive Buddha’s inspiring blessings.

Avalokiteshvara is the Buddha of compassion. By receiving his powerful blessings into our mind, we can learn to awaken our pure nature of love and compassion. By developing our compassionate nature, we will find a deep and lasting peace and bring benefit to others.

The practice of Taking & Giving is a powerful method for purifying the negative karma that is the main cause of our future suffering. Now we have the unique opportunity to learn a modern and practical approach to this ancient practice, known as “tonglen” in Tibetan. This practice helps us transform all our daily difficulties into a meaningful spiritual practice that will inspire our minds. “Taking by means of compassion” and “giving by means of love” will move our heart into a deeper state of acceptance, contentment and peace.

Everybody is welcome to come along to enjoy this relaxing and uplifting weekend.
