• On Saturday morning Khenpo will give the empowerment of Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion. This ritual introduces participants to the enlightened nature of our body, speech, and mind and authorizes us to practice the visualization, mantra recitation, and meditation of Chenrezig. The practice of the peaceful Buddha Chenrezig is renowned as powerful method to nurture positive qualities of love and compassion, and wisdom.
• On Saturday afternoon Khenpo will give the oral transmission of the liturgical practice (sadhana) of Chenrezig, teach how to perform it, and lead group practice. During the practice sessions Khenpo will also offer instruction in other meditation methods such as the generation of love, calm abiding, and insight meditation. He will explain how to blend these with meditation on Chenrezig.
• Sunday morning and afternoon will be dedicated to continued explanation and practice of the sadhana of Chenrezig.
