Connecting with Buddha’s blessings in Austria and Chile

Connecting with Buddha's blessings in Austria and Chile

Two special events took place recently: the blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni in Austria and the blessing empowerment of Buddha Prajnaparamita in Chile. Empowerments offer a unique opportunity to unlock our inner potential for infinite joy and true happiness, and to connect with the wisdom and blessings of the Buddhas.

BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI EMPOWERMENT WITH KELSANG sILA

From June 20 to 22, 2025, Kadampa Meditation Center Austria in Vienna transformed into a place of special encounters. The Resident Teacher, Kelsang Sila, granted a Buddha Shakyamuni empowerment and shared inspiring teachings on the practice of the Liberating Prayer by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

For the attendees, this was a unique opportunity to unlock their inner potential for infinite joy and true happiness and to connect with Buddha's wisdom and blessings. The meditations and retreat sessions, led by Sandor Varasdy and Angelika Haselbacher, enabled participants to deepen their experience of the profound instructions on the Liberating Prayer.

A heartfelt thank you to Kelsang Sila for this enriching weekend, and to everyone who made this event truly special through their participation!

Buddha Prajnaparamita Empowerment with Gen Chokyong

This weekend we received Prajnaparamita empowerment from our Resident Teacher, Gen Chokyong, with the precious instructions of our Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

These blessings bring us closer to a deep understanding of emptiness with a bodhichitta motivation, so we can remove all obstacles to the development of wisdom and dispel all ignorance from our mental continuum.

The way to achieve the realization of the higher perfection of wisdom is with the practice of self-generation, along with reliance on our Spiritual Guide.

How fortunate to have these teachings and the opportunity to practice them! May everyone have the opportunity to do this practice!
