Awaken Your Buddha Nature

with Buddhist nun Gen Nyingpo

Buddha Shakyamuni is the founder of Buddhism in this world and is a supreme object of refuge. His wisdom clearly and directly perceives all objects to be known; he has compassion towards every single living being without exception, like a mother towards her only child; and he has perfect skilful means, whereby he works unceasingly to bring all living beings to the unsurpassed happiness of full enlightenment. By receiving his special blessings we come under his loving care and protection, and draw closer to the attainment his enlightened qualities of body, speech and mind,

On this special weekend course, Gen Nyingpo will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni, and give commentary to Prayers for Meditation. Prayers for Meditation contains the essential practices of purification, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings, which prepare and strengthen the mind enabling the seeds of enlightenment to grow into authentic spiritual realizations.

What is an Empowerment:

An Empowerment is a guided tantric meditation that harnesses wisdom, imagination and the power of enlightened beings to take us to pure worlds and pure experiences. It bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.

The enlightened mind can be compared to a vast, boundless ocean, with each drop possessing the power to bring peace and happiness to living beings. Receiving an Empowerment creates a profound connection with this limitless potential that already exists within our own mind. By establishing this connection, we receive the inspiration, energy, and wisdom needed to begin uncovering and realising our own enlightened nature.

There is limited space at this event – please book early if you wish to attend.
