The day starts with two lovingly guided meditations on faith from Gen Chokga, the National Spiritual Director for Spain and the Resident Teacher at KMC Spain.  This helps us to connect us deeply to the living presence of our Spiritual Guide in our hearts and minds, never forgetting his inconceivable kindness and extra-ordinary qualities.

In the afternoon we receive a sublime Medicine Guru empowerment from Gen-la Khyenrab which includes a profound explanation of emptiness as part of the preparations, and introduces us to all seven Medicine Buddhas, giving us the opportunity to make a deep connection and receive their powerful, healing blessings.

In the cool white of the temple, the vivid blues, reds and pinks of the empowerment shrine stand out and presiding over it all is an exquisite hand painted and gilded 3 foot statue of Medicine Guru, holding a bowl filled with medicine nectars and the stem of a medicinal plant.
