Avalokiteshvara Empowerment - Treasury of Unobservable Compassion

Friday 20th - Wednesday 25th March 2026

On this course we will learn the powa practice of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, and also how, in this way, we can definitely help those beings who are dying or have recently died. This will be followed by a short guided retreat with Gen la Kelsang Khyenrab in which we can increase our familiarity with this profound practice following the sadhana Powa Ceremony, by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

Everybody is welcome to join in and no previous experience or commitment is required.
