About this event
Have you ever wanted to heal past wounds and move onwards with a clear, positive attitude? Shift old or painful habits of thinking and acting? Melt away obstacles to your spiritual practice? By connecting with the transcendent Buddha of purification, Vajrasattva, we can dissolve away our bad habits, negativity and sickness. Through purifying our mind, we will gradually come to experience a radiant world and lasting freedom.
An empowerment is a special ceremony in which we receive the blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature. It consists of meditations, guided visualizations and prayers followed by a teachings to explain the practice. Everybody Welcome.
