Everyone is welcome.
A Special Weekend
At this special event Gen-la Khyenrab will grant the empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani and explain how we can develop the inner strength to free ourselves from negative thoughts and emotions (the 'delusions') through the practice of training or 'guarding' the mind.Buddha Vajrapani is the Buddha of spiritual power. With the development of spiritual power we possess the confidence, inner strength and skill not only to take on and defeat our own delusions, but to be of great benefit in helping free others from their delusions as well.
The empowerment is a beautiful guided meditation and ritual in which we are introduced to Buddha Vajrapani from whom we then receive many blessings, adding great power to our own practice as well as sowing seeds for our future attainment of enlightenment. Gen-la Khyenrab will also give a commentary on the beautiful Tantric practice of Buddha Vajrapani.
