About this event

with Resident Teacher Kadam Michelle Gauthier

Buddha Shakyamuni appeared in this world over 2600 years ago, showing how it is possible for each one of us to attain the mental freedom and peace of enlightenment through internal spiritual paths. These methods continue to be powerful, beneficial and effective in these modern times.

Please join us for this special annual event where we will receive the blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni -– a beautiful guided meditation through which we receive inspiring blessings to heal our mind and ripen our spiritual potential. The empowerment will be followed by teachings on The Liberating Prayer ~ a praise to Buddha Shakyamuni composed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
