When wisdom is in our hearts, our mind is very clear, confident, and free from disturbing thoughts. Ultimately, wisdom gives us deep insight into the underlying origins of our suffering and, like an inner spiritual guide, leads us along pathways in our mind to the bliss of perfect freedom.

In this special event, Kelsang Tara will grant the empowerment of Buddha Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom. This meditative ritual ceremony is an opportunity for us to either make or strengthen our connection with this Buddha and with our own potential for boundless wisdom.

The ceremony will be followed by teachings on the Four Noble Truths and a retreat on the meditation practice of Manjushri through which we can learn to live in accordance with these Truths and step closer to a life beyond sorrow.
