Pure Heart of Compassion – Avalokiteshvara Empowerment & Teaching
Buddha Avalokiteshvara is the embodiment of the compassion of all enlightened beings. Through sincerely engaging in Buddha Avalokiteshvara’s brief and powerful meditation practice, we gradually awaken our compassionate Buddha nature. This awakening enables us to solve our daily problems by controlling our desirous attachment, anger and ignorance. This state of compassion can also bring extraordinary benefit to our family, community and the world.
An empowerment is a guided tantric meditation. It harnesses the wisdom, imagination and power of enlightened beings to take us to pure worlds and experiences. Empowerment also bestows upon us special blessings to heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.
During this course, Kelsang Lachpa will grant the special blessing empowerment of Avalokiteshvara and transmission of the mantra. He will follow these with teachings on how to integrate this practice into our daily lives.
Important Information
the empowerment will not be available to view online. The commentary can be viewed online, but only by those who have previously recieved Avalokiteshvara empowerment. To receive online access please email education@meditateinwellington.org
