What we’re about
Meet like-minded people interested in meditation in the Golden area! Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice. In this group we emphasize practical meditations that are useful both "on the cushion" and in our daily lives. Each meeting will include guided meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life, while increasing mental and physical well-being. There will also be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented. Although the meditations and talks are based on Kadampa Buddhist philosophy, you don't need to be a Buddhist to enjoy this group. Kadampa Buddhism stresses a spiritual path of individual transformation and to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek. Everyone is welcome

Blessing Empowerment of Medicine Buddha
Heruka Buddhist Center, 149 W Harvard St STE 102, Fort Collins, CO, USWhat is an empowerment?
“An empowerment bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.” — Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
According to Buddha all disease and suffering, both mental and physical, are caused by our delusions such as anger and jealousy. Normally, these delusions feel deeply ingrained. But through connecting to Medicine Buddha, we can experience the pure nature of our mind and heal ourselves of these inner diseases.
This empowerment is a beautiful guided meditation during which we will receive the blessings of Medicine Buddha, the embodiment of all enlightened healing energy. During the commentary, Heruka KMC Resident Teacher Kerrin Perniciaro, will explain the profound Tantric practice, known as self-generation, through which we awaken our own potential to become an enlightened healing Buddha.
Everyone is welcome!
