Going Beyond the Ordinary with Long Retreats
Mar 6, 2025
During this weekend, our Resident Teacher Kelsang Pandita granted the blessing empowerment of Buddha Avalokiteshvara where we received the special blessings of the Buddha of Compassion that will cause our spiritual experiences, such as wisdom and universal compassion, to grow.
We had the opportunity to receive instructions and commentary on the practice of the sadhana of Buddha Avalokiteshvara. We learned how to purify and transform, with compassion, all living beings, following the teachings that Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso gave in one of his wonderful books, The Mirror of Dharma with Additions.
Those attending this beautiful event were all delighted and hopeful that a pure world is possible thanks to fully developing our compassion.
Thank you, dear Geshe-la.
The sun shone in everyone's heart due to the blessings received during the empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni and our desire to realize our spiritual potential. It was a weekend with a lot of joy, surrounded by people who seek to improve themselves day by day for the benefit of others.
Thank you to Venerable Geshe-la for appearing in our lives!
Last weekend at KBC Avalokiteshvara in Huelva, Spain, we received the blessing empowerment of Buddha Je Tsongkhapa from Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Sherab. In the teaching Gen Sherab emphasized the importance of memorization and contemplation of Heart Jewel prayers to achieve stable realizations. We learned how Je Tsongkhapa appears in our lives to help us develop compassion, wisdom and spiritual power and how, through our faith in this special Guru yoga practice, we can receive his powerful blessings and attain these realizations.
