About this event
Great Mother Prajnaparamita is a female Buddha who is the manifestation of Buddha’s perfection of wisdom. Her function is to overcome outer and inner obstructions and to bestow the realization of the higher perfection of wisdom, the essence of enlightenment. By receiving her blessings we can deepen our experience of ultimate truth and come closer to a lasting solution to all our problems.
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 teachings to explain the practice. Everybody Welcome.
