Wisdom Blessings ~ Je Tsongkhapa Empowerment | April 18th – 20th
Wisdom Blessings ~ Je Tsongkhapa Empowerment
with Gen Kelsang Jigme
Weekend Event 18th – 20th April
An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we receive a Buddha’s inspiring blessings. Gen Jigme will grant the empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa, connecting us to a powerful source of wisdom that will sustain us throughout our spiritual life.
During this empowerment we will also make a special connection with Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka, a special, uncommon aspect of Je Tsongkhapa with whom Venerable Geshe Kelsang has been encouraging all Kadampas to develop a special relationship.
In the commentary Gen Jigme will teach the special practice of relying on Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka, showing how we can use this simple practice in our daily life easily to tap into a profound source of positive energy, love and wisdom whenever we wish.
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.
This event is in person only.
Everybody is welcome!
