Northeast Dharma Celebration '09

with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong

PROGRAM

Program

Cultivating loving-kindness is the best method to lead a happy, meaningful life and to benefit others. When we receive the blessing empowerment of Buddha Maitreya, who is the manifestation of all Buddhas' loving-kindness, a special seed is planted in the field of our mind that can ripen as the pure happiness we seek. A powerful method to grow this seed is to take to heart the inspiring and practical advice given long ago by Atisha, the great Buddhist teacher and founder of the Kadampa tradition. Advice from Atisha’s Heart inspires us to find opportunities for spiritual growth in every situation we find ourselves in.

Through receiving Maitreya's blessings and then sincerely putting Atisha's Advice into practice, we will increase our loving-kindness, and awaken our potential to bring happiness and peace to all living beings.
