What is an empowerment?

An empowerment is a special ceremony in which we receive blessings of Buddhas into our body and mind to help us gain realisations of spiritual truths and help us overcome obstacles. We sometimes have senior teachers of the New Kadampa Tradition visit to grant empowerments but generally the empowerments are given by Vajrapani Centre's Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Pagmo.

Whens the next empowerment?

Green Tara Empowerment

Tara is a female Buddha, a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all the Buddhas. If we rely upon Tara sincerely and with strong faith she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfill all our wishes. Tara is able to help us very swiftly from both temporary suffering and from the dangers of samsara.

By receiving the blessing Empowerment of Venerable Tara we can build a connection with her and come under the protection of this special wisdom Buddha.

Je Tsongkhapa Empowerment
31st Dec 2008 - 1st Jan 2009

Je Tsongkhapa showed a perfect example of how to build the foundation for the spiritual path, how to progress on that path, and how to complete it. First he studied Dharma extensively, then he realised all Buddha’s teachings are personal advice, and finally he gain a deep realisation of Dharma through practising day and night.

By receiving the blessing Empowerment of Je Tsongkhapa we can build a special connection with this enlightened Teacher, so that we ourselves might become spiritual practitioners.
