Canadian Festival 2025

Where: Jewish Community Centre of Vancouver in Vancouver, BC

• Would you like to heal your mind and create a positive future? Join us to discover the powerful practice of Buddha Vajrasattva, the Buddha of Purification. 

  Buddha taught that all the difficulties we experience in this life are the result of the negative actions we committed in our previous lives. By purifying our negative karma, we can achieve freedom from the suffering that is constantly arising in our minds. 
  
  During the Festival, Gen-la Jampa will grant the empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva and teach us how to skillfully engage in the practice of meditation and recitation of Vajrasattva. This creative practice allows us to connect with the natural potential in our mind, to heal the wounds of the past, and to free ourselves from our old, painful ways of thinking and acting.

  He will also give commentary to the four opponent powers of purification - four states of mind that systematically and completely act as antidotes to all negative thoughts and actions. Through purifying our mind, we gradually experience a wonderful lightness and inner freedom.

  Through mantra recitation, guided meditation and visualisation we can remove obstacles to our spiritual development, experience a peaceful, pure mind and create a positive world. 

  Everybody welcome!
