We hope you enjoy these photos from the Empowerment Ceremony of Buddha Shakyamuni that we held recently at Aberdeen KMC.

After a gentle, blessed ceremony, Kelsang Yonchen gave inspiring teachings on how to rely upon Buddha, Dharma and Sangha in meditation and throughout our daily life.

On Sunday she led a very peaceful retreat, guiding us to gain confidence in creating a deeper connection with Buddha through receiving his blessings and developing the wish to become just like him 🙏🌸✨

Many thanks to all the students and others who helped prepare the centre for our Empowerment weekend.

Curious about our Empowerment next week?
Wondering if it might be for you?
Perhaps you are a little unsure, considering whether you will feel out of place, or if its too big a thing?

Everyone is very welcome. New, curious, a bit shy. Doesnt matter.
We are a friendly quite normal bunch of people, of different ages, backgrounds and walks of life getting together for a beautiful, meaningful weekend.

An Empowerment is like a guided meditation which will be gently led and explained by qualified teacher Kelsang Yonchen, who is granting it. Many people say they feel lighter, more peaceful and relaxed following an empowerment...even if they didnt understand much of what was happening.

We create a deeper connection with Buddha, making it easier for us to receive his help and make progress in our meditations.

There will be a simple lunch with chances to chat with others and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere at KMC Aberdeen and then teachings in the afternoon, giving us simple instructions on how to rely practically on Buddha.

The Empowerment of Buddha takes place on Saturday 18th April

An optional retreat day on Sunday 19th April gives us an opportunity to put everything into practice so we have confidence to continue with the practices if we choose.
