Empowerment Ceremonies Throughout the world
The wave of blessings continues to spread as more Kadampa Centres have engaged in the Blessing Ceremonies of various Buddhas. Last week's events include the empowerments of Buddha Vajrasattva at KMC New Mexico in USA, Green Tara at KMC Metz in France and KMC Vienna in Austria and Buddha Vajrapani at Atisha KMC Darlington in UK. These special ceremonies bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.

A diverse audience, including those with more experience and newcomers, made the event dynamic and joyful.
