Friday 3rd January - Sunday 5th January 2025

It is said that living beings receive Tara's blessings as swiftly as the wind moves because she is the manifestation of the wind element of all Buddhas.

For a fruitful spiritual practice, we need inspiration and wisdom. During this rare and precious event, we will receive from Gen la Kelsang Khyenrab the blessing empowerment of Buddha White Tara, compassionate mother of all living beings. Gen-la will guide us in a magnificent traditional meditation, teaching us how to cultivate a deep bond of trust with Tara and grow the seven wisdoms needed to achieve the supreme goal of human life, full enlightenment. By maintaining this continuous connection with Buddha White Tara, our wisdom, good fortune and life span will naturally increase day by day.

We need a long life to complete our spiritual practice, we need wisdom to free ourselves and others from daily pain and problems, and we need good fortune or positive energy to achieve a long-lasting experience of inner peace and happiness.

All these benefits can be accessed through receiving this empowerment and commentary to the practice.

Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab is a retired General Spiritual Director of the NKT-IKBU and currently the Resident Teacher at Tara International Kadampa Retreat Centre. Gen-la is deeply respected throughout the Kadampa world as a sincere practitioner and powerful teacher.
