The Empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva
16th -18th April 2010
This empowerment is an opportunity to make a special connection with Buddha Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification and receive his blessings. We experience problems in our daily life, heavy minds and difficulty with our spiritual practice because of our negative actions.
By relying upon Buddha Vajrasattva we can purify all our non-virtues and obstructions, find inner peace in our daily lives and make smooth progress towards the ultimate happiness of full enlightenment.
Teachings on how to develop inner purity
During the Celebration, we will also have the good fortune to receive teachings on how to develop an inner purity that enables us to purify our past mistakes and create the experiences we desire in the future.
“Once we have purified our mind, our actions will naturally be pure. As a result of our pure actions or pure karma, everything we experience will be pure. We shall abide in a pure world, with a pure body, enjoying pure enjoyments and surrounded by pure beings.
There will no longer be the slightest trace of suffering, impurity, or problems. This is how to find true happiness from within our mind.”
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, The New Meditation Handbook
Inspired by the renowned Buddhist master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition, this annual Dharma Celebration is a special opportunity to enjoy spiritual teachings and guided meditations, spend time with sangha friends, and to relax in the beautiful and peaceful setting of Madhyamaka Centre at Kilnwick Percy Hall.
The Celebration will be taught by Kadam Bridget Heyes, the NKT National Spiritual Director for the UK and the Resident Teacher of Nagarjuna Centre. Kadam Bridget is a dedicated disciple of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, known for her powerful teachings, compassionate heart and practical example.
