An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we receive a Buddha’s inspiring blessings. Gen Rinzin will grant the empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa, connecting us to a powerful source of wisdom that will sustain us throughout our spiritual life. During this empowerment we will also make a special connection with Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka, a particular aspect of Je Tsongkhapa with which Venerable Geshe Kelsang has been encouraging us to develop a special relationship.
During the commentary Gen Rinzin will teach the special practice of Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka.
Everybody welcome.
