The Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Green Tara

About the Empowerment
​
There is so much uncertainty in our life and our world that it is not surprising we often feel fearful. Sometimes these fears are manifest, and at other times, they lie beneath the surface, giving rise to insecurity, anxiety and unrest.
During this special event, Gen Kelsang Chöyang will grant the empowerment of Green Tara, a female Buddha, also known as the Great Compassionate Mother. Tara swiftly comes to our rescue whenever we are feeling afraid and in need of strength. By turning to her and engaging in her profound meditation practice, called Liberation from Sorrow, we will develop the courage to become a fearless liberator ourself; a force for good in a profoundly troubled world.
What Is an Empowerment?
An empowerment is a series of blissful guided meditations through which we make a deep connection with Buddha Tara’s enlightened mind and awaken our own Buddha nature.
​
No previous experience of meditation or Buddhism is necessary to attend this empowerment. Everyone is welcome!
