“An empowerment bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.” Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
Feel uplifted and inspired through receiving the blessing empowerment of White Tara.
White Tara is a female enlightened being whose function is to bestow long life, wisdom and good fortune. If we rely upon her with faith, she will protect us from contagious diseases, the dangers of fire, and other disasters.
It is said that living beings receive Tara’s blessings as swiftly as the wind moves because she is the manifestation of the wind element of all Buddhas.
An Empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we make a special, heart felt connection with a particular Buddha and receive their inspiration. The enlightened mind is said to be like a boundless deep ocean, every drop of which has the power to bring inner peace to living beings. Receiving an Empowerment is a means of connecting with this expansive potential inside our own mind, giving us the energy and wisdom to begin to realise our own Buddha nature.
Gen Chitta will grant the empowerment on Saturday morning and then give commentary to the practice of White Tara in the afternoon. This event is suitable for anyone wanting to draw closer to Buddha and their spiritual potential.
