Kadam Michelle Gauthier, Resident Teacher of KMC DC, gave the introductory talk on Friday night asking us why we need wisdom. Saturday morning, Resident Teacher of KMC Philadelphia, John Baker, guided us in meditation on the same topic. This set the stage for us all to receive the blessing empowerment of Wisdom Buddha Manjushri, followed by teachings from Kadam Morten on how wisdom protects us from suffering and problems, particularly the wisdom of understanding the ultimate nature of reality, emptiness.
