Medicine Buddha Empowerment | October 4th – 6th
Medicine Buddha Empowerment
with Gen Kelsang Jigme
Weekend Event 4th – 6th October
‘An empowerment bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.” — Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
When the world is pervaded entirely by problems and dangers due to uncontrolled minds and inappropriate actions, one of the most important practices is that of Medicine Buddha.
By relying upon Medicine Buddha sincerely, living beings in these impure times can be cured of heavy physical and mental disease, find release from the internal pain of the three poisons – attachment, anger and ignorance – and receive protection from many other dangers and obstacles.
Attend on Saturday just to receive the empowerment, or for the whole weekend to receive an essential commentary to the Medicine Buddha practice.
This event is available in-person only.
Everybody is welcome.
