Spring Festival 2026 Day 3
May 25, 2026
In an empowerment we hear: ‘please now imagine, imagine this, imagine that. We should never ignore imagination. Correct imagination is part of wisdom. This is not like the fantasy of a child. Training in imagination is important. In How to Transform Your Life, Venerable Geshe-la explains this. Through strongly imagining we are already a Buddha, we gradually become a Buddha. If we cannot even imagine attaining enlightenment, we never will. Why? Everything is a mental creation.
It's another beautiful day at the Festival. It's warm and sunny, and the atmosphere is happy, relaxed and very blessed. We start the day with beautiful Amitayus prayers and this is followed by a series of extraordinary teachings from Gen-la Khyenrab giving deep insight into the practice alongside practical teachings from The New Eight Steps
