The Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani and Teachings on How to Solve our Daily Problems

Open to everyone, the Australian Dharma Celebration is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a spiritual break with like-minded people from around the region. During the celebration Gen Kelsang Rabten will grant the empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani, and give teachings on how we can solve our daily problems through Buddhist wisdom.

Our daily problems are the unpleasant feelings that arise in our mind whenever we experience difficulties or uncontrolled desires. These feelings arise from our delusions of desirous attachment, anger, jealousy, and other negative minds, therefore these delusions are the main causes of our problems. Vajrapani is a Buddha whose function is to destroy the negative minds of living beings by bestowing special power upon their body and mind. Through his blessings and inspiration we can gain the inner strength to face our daily problems and sufferings and to eliminate their causes, especially our mind of ignorance.

During the Australian Dharma Celebration, Gen Kelsang Rabten will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani which will connect us directly with this powerful enlightened being, giving us the inspiration and confidence to progress successfully on the spiritual path. He will then share timeless wisdom from the famous Buddhist text, Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, revealing how we can experience the peaceful, contented mind that naturally arises when we let go of delusions.
