Je Tsongkhapa Blessing Empowerment
Receiving a Blessing Empowerment has an amazing effect on our minds. It helps heal our mental continuum, uplifts our mind with spiritual energy, and brings power to our meditation practice.
During this special event, you will be introduced to the spiritual power, compassion, and wisdom of Je Tsongkhapa, the Wisdom Buddha. By engaging in the Empowerment, a special ceremony of a beautiful guided meditation, you will experience a special strength of mind that comes from the transmission of blessings
In the afternoon Gen Thekchen will explain how to engage in a beautiful daily practice called ‘Heart Jewel’. This will give your meditation practice structure, strength and protection. Those who use this practice give testimony to its ability to help support their daily meditation, making it regular and more profound.
On Sunday, Gen Thekchen will explain the profound practice of ‘Hundred’s of Deities of the Joyfulland According to Highest Yoga Tantra’. This is similar to Heart Jewel but includes very special prayers that come from the Ganden Oral Lineage. This practice is a perfect preparation for the Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerments that are being given at the Summer Festival.
You don’t need to be a Buddhist to receive this empowerment. Everyone is welcome!
