Saturday morning, Resident Teacher, John Baker, will grant Buddha Shakyamuni empowerment. The main purpose or aim of receiving an empowerment is to transform our mind from a negative state to a positive state. The word empowerment really means ‘receiving blessings’. Through making a special connection with Buddha Shakyamuni we receive powerful and profound blessings. Profound blessings directly cause us to gain inner realizations, which is the actual refuge that directly protects us from suffering. Over the rest of the weekend there will be commentary based on Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s 2000 Spring Festival teachings, and a retreat to learn how to take the teachings to heart in meditation.
