Manjushri Empowerment 7:00PM
Ordinary beings, such as ourselves, cannot understand the profound meanings of the Buddha and enlightened masters' teachings. We therefore need the help and explanations of realized guides. Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, makes teachings clear and understandable. This empowerment allows us to practise the Manjushri sadhana and develops the wisdom that is needed to ultimately help all living beings.
