Empowerment of Buddha Maitreya | May 18-19 – Meditation in South Carolina

A Heart of Loving Kindness

Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Maitreya

May 18 – 19

Opening Our Heart

We can all become more loving. When we have love in our heart our life fills with hope, our relationships become stronger, and we naturally contribute to a more positive world.

Buddha Maitreya is the embodiment of the loving kindness of all the Buddhas. The empowerment is a blissful guided meditation that connects us to Maitreya’s enlightened love giving us great power in our spiritual development.

In the commentary we will learn the special brief practice of Buddha Maitreya, in which, through identifying strongly with his qualities, we nurture them within ourselves. In this way we begin to become someone whose love transforms the world.

Everyone is welcome.
