In Oslo with Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Dragpa, National Spiritual Director for the Nordic region.
This annual celebration is a wonderful opportunity to receive practical and inspiring teachings on Modern Buddhism, as presented by world-renowned meditation master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Join practitioners from across the Nordic Region to enjoy deep, peaceful meditations and a meaningful spiritual holiday.
In order to actualize our pure, limitless potential we can receive inspiring wisdom blessings from the wisdom Buddha, Prajnaparamita. Receiving these blessings will ignite our own inner light of wisdom, so that we become a truly beneficial being in this world.
The weekend features the blessing empowerment of Prajnaparamita, the female Buddha who is the manifestation of the Perfection of Wisdom. The empowerment is a sublime guided meditation through which we make a direct connection with her, receiving a special power to realize the ultimate nature of reality. It bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.
