Avalokiteshvara is the Buddha of Compassion and during this very special day, Gen Kelsang Dragden, Resident Teacher at KMC Plymouth, will grant the blessing empowerment of Avalokiteshvara: a series of guided meditations given in a traditional ritual blessing ceremony.

Through receiving this empowerment, we are connecting with Avalokiteshvara’s special enlightened energy which will help us to grow precious minds of compassion and love. 

Everyone is welcome to this special event.

If you have any questions about the empowerment please contact us HERE or speak to one of our volunteers at the centre who will be pleased to answer any questions you may have.

We shall be using the Avalokiteshvara Sadhana (prayer booklet, available for use at the centre) and if you wish to purchase your own copy you may do so from KMC Plymouth or this, and other related items, are available from Tharpa Publications HERE.

What is an Empowerment?  

An Empowerment is an event in which we receive, or have bestowed upon us, special blessings (the transformation of our mind from an unhappy state to a happy state), that heal our mental continuum and awaken our pure nature – our potential we all have to become an enlightened being. 

 An Empowerment is the gateway through which we enter the Tantric teachings of Buddha; the means of training our mind by bringing the future result, or Buddhahood, into the present. It is the supreme path to full enlightenment.  

 Everyone is welcome, and we can all benefit from attending these events, hearing the teachings and enjoying the special conditions we create by participating in the day.  

 If you have any questions about the empowerment or are unsure about anything, please do contact us or speak to one of our volunteers at the centre who will be pleased to answer any questions you may have.
