Info

During this special weekend, Gen Tharpa will grant the empowerment of Prajnaparamita – a female Buddha who is the manifestation of Buddha’s perfection of wisdom.

The empowerment is a special guided meditation in which we receive the powerful wisdom blessings of all enlightened beings, and that functions to open our wisdom eyes.

The weekend will include teachings on the New Heart of Wisdom following the commentary given by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in Portugal in 2013, and guided meditations using the prayer booklet, The Great Mother.

By developing this special wisdom and universal compassion, we can attain the pure, lasting happiness we all seek.

This event is suitable for everyone from complete beginners to experienced meditators.

Teacher

Gen Kelsang Tharpa, Resident Teacher of Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre

The purpose of meditation is to make the mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness.
