About the Festival
Join us for a long weekend to feel re-energised and charged with positive energy, and leave rejuvenated and inspired.
Empowerment of Buddha 1000-Armed Avalokiteshvara and teachings on bodhichitta.
Gen Rabten will also give teachings on the precious mind of Bodhichitta—the best method for bestowing happiness, eliminating suffering, and dispelling confusion. According to Buddhism, there is no virtue equal to it, no better friend and no greater good fortune. In fact, Bodhichitta is the very essence of all eighty-four thousand instructions of Buddha. In Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life Shantideva says “It is the quintessential butter that arises when the milk of Dharma is churned.”
