The name Avalokiteshvara means “the most powerful one in the world.” Destructive emotions like anger and rage feel intense, but the deep inner peace from pure compassion can cleanse them from our heart completely. Through training in compassion our mind becomes as strong and stable as a mountain.
The blessing empowerment of Avalokiteshvara is a blissful guided meditation that gives us a closer connection with the compassion of all Buddhas. Afterward, Gen Wangden will transmit the teachings on purifying and transforming the six classes of living being from the book The Mirror of Dharma with Additions.
