Shining the Sun of Holy Dharma with Blessing Empowerments
Apr 18, 2025
On the last weekend of March, we had a profound and meaningful weekend called Wisdom for Modern Times where just over 200 of us received the special blessings of Great Mother Prajnaparamita, manifestation of the perfection of wisdom of all Buddhas.
During the weekend, we contemplated who Buddha Prajnaparamita is and her function: to guide us to dispel ignorance and reveal within us the ultimate wisdom. By receiving her blessings, we sow in our mind the potential to develop authentic spiritual realizations. It is a priceless gift that propels us to a deeper understanding of how to put the Dharma into practice and thus build our refuge of inner peace.
Through the wisdom we have cultivated and will cultivate, may all beings be liberated from suffering and attain the ultimate bliss of enlightenment.
There were 81 of us for this beautiful Medicine Buddha blessing empowerment weekend.
Kadam Olivier gave us explanations of the two Medicine Buddha sadhanas, as well as precious advice from Venerable Geshe-la. Each of us was able to take away the methods to increase our compassion.
