Buddha Shakyamuni Empowerment | Fri 2nd - Sun 4th Jan
£85.00
Part of the NKT-IKBU
Grounds open all year round - dawn until dusk
Our faith in our Spiritual Guide and his or her Dharma teachings is the root of our spiritual path; because this is so important for our life, such a deep root of faith cannot be planted hastily. Therefore, we need to carefully follow the scientific methods taught by Buddha that enable us to make the best use of our relationship with our Spiritual Guide. With deep faith and confidence we will then quickly make progress on our journey to the permanent inner peace of liberation and full enlightenment.
On this weekend course Gen la Kelsang Khyenrab, following the profound instructions of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, will guide us to the correct view and intention on how to follow our Spiritual Guide purely and sincerely.
(Please note: This course is also a perfect preparation for the 2026 Winter Retreat, Supreme Ocean of Infinite Good Fortune, drawing closer to our Root Guru through recitation of Venerable Geshe-la's name mantra, which begins January 5th.)
