UK Dharma Celebration

with Kadam Bridget Heyes

Empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani and teachings on how to develop a strong and confident mind

October 31st-November 3rd at TARA IKRC, Derbyshire

Buddha Vajrapani is the embodiment of the spiritual power of all the enlightened beings. He can help us pacify all obstacles through the force of spontaneous great bliss.

During this very special UK Dharma Celebration, Kadam Bridget Heyes will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani.

By receiving this empowerment we make a special connection with Buddha Vajrapani and we receive powerful blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our potential for enlightenment.

"The meditation classes are great. They are not religious in anyway but give a perfect introduction to meditation and how to apply meditation in daily life."

ChristopherCourse Attendee

"The silent mornings were quite enlightening and the location, with the centres' tranquil gardens, and the beach so nearby, is perfect. You would not think, when inside the centres' grounds, that you were in the middle of a bustling city."
