What is an empowerment?
An empowerment is a blissful, guided meditation that establishes a strong connection with a Buddha.
Through this connection we receive their enlightened wisdom and begin to actualise our own limitless potential to draw closer to the permanent happiness of enlightenment.
Who is Buddha Prajnaparamita - The Great Mother?
Buddha Prajnaparamita is a manifestation of the Perfection of Wisdom. The word “prajna” means wisdom and “paramita” means perfection. She is called “The Great Mother” because all Buddhas are born from this wisdom which is associated with deep compassion for all living beings.
