Southwest Dharma Celebration

The Blessing Empowerment of Manjushri with Teachings on Seeing Beyond Our Problems
with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, February 12-14, 2010

The Program – Seeing Beyond Our Problems

Introductory Talk - with Gen Kelsang Gomlam

Friday, February 12, 7:30 - 9 pm

Compassion arises from our feelings of warmth and closeness to others - we wish those we love to be free from suffering, pain and problems. With this beautiful motivation, we can look beyond our normal limited ability to help others to discover the healing power of wisdom. This is the best medicine for our troubled world!

Blessing Empowerment of Manjushri - with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong

Saturday, Feb 13, 11 am - 5:30 pm and Sunday, Feb 14,11 am - 12:30 pm

Wisdom is like a teacher that we carry in our hearts and like a protector that guards us against engaging in harmful actions. Through connecting with our inner wisdom, our mind becomes balanced and comfortable. We can find permanent freedom from pain and problems and help others do the same. The empowerment of Guru Protector Manjushri is an opportunity to receive special blessings from the Wisdom Buddha to develop and increase our own inner wisdom.
