In-Person
Cost: $45
Serlingpa Meditation Center, 514 Pleasant Street, New Bedford MA
Buddha Avalokiteshvara is the embodiment of the compassion of all enlightened beings. This empowerment is a sublime guided meditation, through which we develop a relationship with Guru Avalokiteshvara and connect with a beautiful optimistic vision of possibility, and transformation in which we receive and radiate love, compassion, and wisdom.
“When we become a Buddha, our happiness, radiates, eternally as compassion, nourishing all living beings, and gradually drawing them into the same state. “-Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Transform Your Life.
Through imagination, guided meditation, and blessings, we feel personally empowered to become the person we wish to be, and progress towards our own enlightenment.
This event is suitable for everyone.
