Crystal Clear Mind: Empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva – Saturday, November 19 from 10am to 4pm
Buddha Vajrasattva is the embodiment of the pure consciousness of all enlightened beings. This Empowerment is a blessing ritual and guided meditation through which we can make a deep connection with Vajrasattva, who can inspire and guide us to actualize our full spiritual potential.
In the afternoon, we will learn about the purification practice of Vajrasattva. This skillful and creative practice allows us to connect with the natural potential in our mind to heal the wounds of the past, and to free ourselves from old and painful habits of thinking and acting. We are then free to live a life based on wisdom and love, with a crystal clear mind and joyful heart.
10am-12pm Empowerment
1:30-2:45pm Commentary
3:15-4:00pm Meditation
Location: This event will be held at Kadampa Meditation Center Boston, located at 2298 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, just a few blocks from the Davis Square T stop. There is free parking available, please email us at education@meditationinboston.org
