We ate lunch at a local pizza shop, and got to practice the Yoga of Buddha Amitayus in the afternoon. People left happy and inspired. We are now empowered to use Amitayus's mantras and Tantra. Goodbye samara, hello Blissful Land.

A fantastic day at the How To Be Fearless Tara Empowerment. It included a series of blissful guided meditations which left us feeling empowered by Mother Tara. Now for our homework: The Yoga of Enlightened Mother Arya Tara.

How to Be Fearless The Blessing Empowerment of Green Tara With Gen Kelsang Rinzin Saturday, September 8 meditateinfortcollins.org Tara is a Buddha for our time. Before attaining enlightenment, she was once told that she should pray to be born in a male form so that she could attain enlightenment. She replied, "In this world there is no man, there is no woman. There is no person, self or consciousness. Man and woman are merely imputed and have no essence. Thus, the minds of worldly beings are mistaken." - Buddha Tara, before she became enlightened. Tara is compassionate, swift to help, and feminist in the most enlightened way. She is our enlightened mother. Come make a powerful connection with Tara.

A quick look at the Vajrasattva Empowerment.

We spend all our time and energy trying to avoid problems by making changes to our external world. However, our unhappiness and difficulties are not caused by the external world but are the result of the negative karma we have created in the past through our own harmful actions. By receiving the empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification and relying upon him, we can free ourselves from all our negative karma. As a result of this practice, we come to experience the joy and space of a pure mind and pure world. What is an empowerment? The empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva is an opportunity to receive special blessings and inspiration from this compassionate friend. Through the empowerment we will draw closer with Vajrasattva, both in terms of creating a special connection with this Holy Being, and in becoming more like him.

A last reminder about tomorrows free public talk.
