Great Mother of Wisdom ~ Prajnaparamita Blessing Empowerment | Nov 14th – 16th (Also Saturday only available)
Great Mother of Wisdom
~ Prajnaparamita Blessing Empowerment
with Gen Kelsang Jigme
Weekend Event 14th – 16th November (Saturday only available)
Receive the special blessing empowerment of Buddha Prajnaparamita, the female Buddha of pure, good-hearted wisdom. By receiving this empowerment in a traditional ritual and then sincerely practising the special Tantric meditations associated with Buddha Prajnaparamita, we can increase our own wisdom and compassion and become ourselves a fully-enlightened Buddha, with the power to lead all beings to liberation from suffering.
You can attend on Saturday just to receive the empowerment, or for the whole weekend to receive the commentary and gain experience of this essential practice.
*The Empowerment is in person only.
Everyone is welcome.
