Special Event โ The Blessing Empowerment of Medicine Buddha with Gen Kelsang Mila ๐น 12th -14th June.
Healing our Mind from Negativity
โจ
Medicine Buddha is the embodiment of the healing power of all enlightened beings. His function is to liberate living beings from outer and inner sickness. At this special event, Gen Mila will grant the empowerment of Medicine Buddha, give commentary to Medicine Buddha practice, and include a timely and helpful explanation of the power of prayer.
โจ
According to Buddha, all disease and suffering, in ourselves and in the world, originate in the mind. Through receiving the blessings of Medicine Buddha we can purify our mind, and thus heal ourselves of mental and physical suffering. Through engaging in this practice sincerely we receive a special power of body, speech and mind, which we can then use to help others through healing actions.
โจ
What is an empowerment?
An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we make a special, heart-felt connection with a particular Buddha and receive their inspiration. The enlightened mind is said to be like a boundless deep ocean, every drop of which has the power to bring inner peace to living beings.
โจ
Receiving an empowerment is a means of connecting with this expansive potential inside our own mind, giving us the energy and wisdom to begin to realize our own Buddha nature.
โจ
This event is suitable for anyone wanting to draw closer to Buddha and their spiritual potential.
