How To Have A Meaningful Life: The Blessing Empowerment Of Buddha White Tara & Teachings On The Four Seals


Join us at Kadampa Meditation Centre Australia where Gen Kelsang Rabten will grant the special blessings of Buddha White Tara and give inspiring teachings on the four seals—profound insights that reveal the true nature of our world and how to find lasting meaning in life.

White Tara is a peaceful and enlightened female Buddha whose function is to bestow long life, wisdom, and good fortune. As the manifestation of the wind element of all Buddhas, her blessings are said to come swiftly. By relying on her with faith, we can be quickly protected from both mental and physical obstacles. This event is a precious opportunity to deepen our understanding and practice of the four seals, as emphasized by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

With Gen Rabten’s clear and practical guidance, we will learn how to use these profound teachings to overcome ignorance and transform our daily life into a meaningful spiritual journey.
