Purification and Spiritual Connection with Buddha Vajrasattva
This month the empowerment of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification, was given at the Kadampa Temple in Portugal and in Asheville (US)

The event was filled with moments of inspiration and spiritual connection. Kadam Antonio Santos guided a profound meditation session, helping us prepare our minds for the empowerment. The event's final day was dedicated to a meditation retreat, where participants engaged in the Meditation and Recitation of Solitary Vajrasattva sadhana, allowing them to apply what they had learned and experience the transformative power of this practice.
This meaningful weekend also served as a perfect preparation for the upcoming 2025 Portuguese National Dharma Festival in April, when we will have the immense privilege of receiving Avalokiteshvara empowerment from Kadam Bridget Heyes, United Kingdom's National Spiritual Director. The National Festival will be another opportunity to receive powerful blessings, strengthen our practice, and deepen our connection with our spiritual lineage.
