How I Learned to Let go of Stress
We still don’t realise that not knowing how to manage our emotions and anxiety makes us feel exhausted, discouraged and unable to help others or ourselves. Meditation can be a great tool for reversing this state and giving us a new perspective.
Shared Wisdom, Shared Strength : The Role of Community in Spiritual Growth
I was reasonably healthy and optimistic about my potential until March of 2020, when I sustained a life-altering head injury. The next couple of years were marked by subsequent head and neck injuries — a reality I struggled to accept.
Relief from anxiety
Panic would set in: how was I going to be able to support him with his journey in life when I still felt like I was behaving like a reactive teenager who was managing a massive “to-do” list that never ended?

Day 10 ~ Vajrayogini Empowerment
The Temple has been completely transformed overnight in preparation for the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment of Vajrayogini. A stunning, newly created metal statue of Vajrayogini rises majestically from within the empowering shrine.
Day 9 ~ Pure Land of Heruka
The preparations for the Heruka empowerment that we engaged in last night help us remain mindful of the coming empowerment, keeping our minds blessed and protected. As a result, when we enter the Temple for the actual empowerment, we are ready to engage with it deeply. There is a great feeling of happiness in actually receiving the blessings of the empowerment, giving us the opportunity to draw closer to Buddha Heruka, the embodiment of Buddha’s compassion.
Day 8 ~ Heruka Preparations
There are over 3,350 people here for Week 2, a wonderful gathering of Kadampa practitioners happy to have the opportunity to receive the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments from our General Spiritual Director, Gen-la Jampa.
