Vajrasattva Initiation
Event: Vajrasattava Initiation
Date: Friday, October 9th
Time: 7PM
Vajrasattva is the Buddha of purification. Vajrasattva practice is one of the important purification practices in Tibetan Buddhism, helping us purify negative karma, clear obstacles, and create positive conditions for our spiritual growth.
Through this practice, we learn to recognize and purify negative actions and habits while cultivating a clearer, more peaceful, and compassionate mind.
Receiving the Vajrasattva Initiation provides a precious opportunity to connect with this practice and establish a strong foundation for meditation and spiritual development. It is especially beneficial for those wishing to deepen their Buddhist practice and engage in purification.
Everyone is welcome. No prior experience is necessary. Initiation is on donation only.
