Prajnaparamita Blessing Empowerment

The Inner LIght of Wisdom: Buddha Prajnaparamita Empowerment
Blessing Empowerment and Overcoming Hindrances
Sat 31 Jan - Sun 1 Feb 2026
At Heruka Kadampa Meditation Centre, Golders Green
With Kadam John McBretney
Buddha Prajnaparamita, Embodiment of the Higher Perfection of Wisdom
In order to actualize our pure, limitless potential, we can receive inspiring wisdom blessings from the wisdom Buddha, Prajnaparamita. These blessings ignite our own inner light of wisdom, helping us become truly beneficial beings in the world.
An empowerment is a guided Tantric meditation that harnesses wisdom, imagination, and the power of enlightened beings to take us to pure worlds and pure experiences. It bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mental continuum and awaken our Buddha nature.
On this special weekend course, Kadam John McBretney will explain how to draw closer to Prajnaparamita, how to use this practice to overcome obstacles in our life, and how to deepen our experience of the dream-like nature of reality.
