Buddha Vajrapani Empowerment & Teachings on Transforming Adverse Conditions

At the New Zealand Festival, Gen-la Kelsang Jampa, the Deputy Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition of Modern Buddhism, will grant the empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani – the Buddha of spiritual power, and give teachings on Transforming Adverse Conditions.

Life presents us with countless unpleasant situations and challenges. In Buddha’s teachings we find special meditation techniques for transforming each and every situation into powerful opportunities for spiritual growth and finally peaceful states of mind, so that we can embrace our life fully and without fear.

Our success in these transformative ways of thinking depends upon our spiritual power – the inner strength of our mind. How can we increase this inner strength and turn our life into the journey of a spiritual hero or heroine, to manifest our full potential and bring a rich deep happiness into our life and the lives of those around us? We do this through making a special connection with Vajrapani, the Buddha of Spiritual Power, and receiving his blessings.
