The Source of Happiness and Goodness
Buddha Shakyamuni empowerment with commentary to Liberating Prayer
～ with Gen-la Kelsang Jampa
Friday Nov 29 - Sunday Dec 1
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 Liberating Prayer.
Everybody welcome!

Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Maitreya, the Buddha of Loving-kindness, and Teachings on the Three Aspects of Love with Gen Samten Kelsang
Love is very beneficial, even when it is mixed in our mind with desirous attachment. Love is the foundation for all harmonious, enduring relationships. If we love our friends and our family, we will be happy, even if we have little material wealth. But, without love, no amount of wealth or resources will enable us to create loving, long-lasting relationships.
This year at the Ontario Dharma Celebration, Gen Samten Kelsang will be granting the blessing empowerment of Buddha Maitreya, the Buddha of Loving-kindness and giving teachings on the Three aspects of love.
In his teachings this weekend, Gen Samten Kelsang will help us to understand the difference between love and attachment and how, with wisdom, we can develop and practise loving-kindness in all our relationships. No previous experience of meditation and Buddha’s teachings is required to attend this event. This event is open to everyone. Everybody welcome!
