Pure Life

Vajrasattva Empowerment & Commentary

Sunday 11 May 10.00 am - 4.30 pm

We have many inner obstacles to happiness and spiritual progress, such as our delusions, the imprints of harmful actions and negative tendencies. By purifying these we shall easily develop a peaceful mind and our good qualities increase effortlessly. During this day course, with Kelsang Päljin, we shall receive the blessing empowerment of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification, and learn how to apply a simple but powerful purification practice.
