Summer Festival 2024 ~ Day 2
The Empowerment day is always a very special day at the Festival. There is gentle morning of meditation to deeply prepare our minds guided by Gen Kelsang Ananda. The finishing touches are put in place for the empowerment shrine...

Developing our wisdom brings so many extraordinary benefits and is essential for progressing on the spiritual path. It is the higher perfection of wisdom, a mind realizing emptiness directly held by the mind of great compassion for all living beings, to which we aspire. So having received the wisdom blessings of the Great Mother, we are ready to listen intently with our whole heart to our Guru's precious teachings on emptiness.
After the empowerment, everyone looks radiant, joyful, blessed and so happy to be on this Summer Festival spiritual journey. People enjoy each other's company, or some quiet reflection in the late afternoon sunshine. Some people are inspired to practice the Heart Sutra which, as Gen-la reminded us, can be done as a daily practice.
