6th-8th November 2026 | with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang

Dorje Shugden is a Wisdom Buddha who destroys all our obstacles and gathers the conditions we need to practice Dharma and transform life’s difficulties into stepping stones to enlightenment.

An empowerment is a guided tantric meditation that harnesses wisdom, imagination and the power of enlightened beings to take us to pure worlds and pure experiences. It bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.

On this special weekend course, Gen-la will explain how to draw closer to Dorje Shugden, how to use this practice to overcome obstacles in our life, and how to transform our experiences into the spiritual path by relying on him as our protector.

Everyone is welcome.
