UKDC - United Kingdom Dharma Celebration

Empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani and teachings on how to develop a strong and confident mind
with Kadam Bridget Heyes

Buddha Vajrapani is the embodiment of the spiritual power of all the enlightened beings. He can help us pacify all obstacles through the force of spontaneous great bliss.

During this very special UK Dharma Celebration, Kadam Bridget Heyes will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani.

By receiving this empowerment we make a special connection with Buddha Vajrapani and we receive powerful blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our potential for enlightenment.
