Wisdom Empowerment

blessing empowerment of Buddha Manjushri with Gen Kelsang Jindak
Saturday, November 23 10:30am-5pm

During this empowerment, we will receive the special blessings of Buddha Manjushri, who is the manifestation of the enlightened wisdom of all Buddhas. Through receiving this empowerment we have the opportunity to make a close connection with this enlightened being and thereby increase our own wisdom greatly.

When wisdom is in our hearts, our mind is very clear, confident, and free from disturbing thoughts. Wisdom gives us clarity and insight and, like an inner spiritual guide, helps us to act thoughtfully, skillfully, and meaningfully in daily life. Since all our negative minds are based upon the opposite of wisdom – confusion – everyone needs to develop wisdom.

By engaging sincerely in the meditation practices of Manjushri we will definitely improve our Dharma wisdom, and eventually attain the ultimate peace of full enlightenment.

What is an Empowerment?

An empowerment is a special transmission of insight and experience – a beautiful guided meditation during which we receive the blessings of a particular Buddha and make a personal connection. We can become confident in own potential for inner peace, positive energy, inspiration, and authentic joy.
