The Source of Happiness and Goodness

Buddha Shakyamuni empowerment with commentary to Liberating Prayer ~ with Gen-la Kelsang Jampa

For Buddhists, faith in Buddha Shakyamuni is their spiritual life. To help us to develop and maintain strong faith in Buddha, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche composed the beautiful praise to Buddha Shakyamuni called Liberating Prayer.  Understanding and contemplating its meaning is the best method to develop faith in Buddha and his teachings, which is the root of all Dharma realizations.

During the Celebration, Gen-la will grant the empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni and give teachings on the Liberating Prayer.

Everybody welcome!
