As Swiftly as the Wind moves

White Tara Empowerment, commentary and retreat

With Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab

As Swiftly as the Wind Moves

Friday 19th April - Weds 24th April

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 Tara, our wisdom, good fortune and life span will naturally increase day by day.

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