ABOUT
Buddha Avalokiteshvara Blessing Empowerment with Gen Kelsang Mila
Buddha Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, is an enlightened being who represents the compassion of all Buddhas.
At this special event Gen Mila will grant the Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Avalokiteshvara through which you will receive powerful blessings to awaken your Buddha nature and your compassionate kind heart. Gen Mila will teach how to develop universal love and compassion through the practice and meditation on this Buddha. Through receiving his powerful blessings and protection your own love and compassion will grow and you can become an enlightened being like him.
An empowerment is a beautiful series of guided meditations through which you make a direct connection with a holy being and receive his powerful blessings and inspiration to make progress on your spiritual path.
We would love to see you.
