What is an empowerment?
An empowerment is a special blessing ceremony where we are introduced to a particular Buddha. You can find our empowerments listed under Retreats & Events on this website.
A Buddha is someone who has completed the spiritual path by removing all their imperfections, and Buddha Shakyamuni (the founder of Buddhism) taught that we all have the potential to achieve this. Over the last 2,500 years, lots of people have followed the spiritual path to its completion, so now there are lots of Buddhas. They have all been where we’re at, and know how hard it can be; so they make it their mission to help us achieve happiness too.
At an empowerment, you are introduced to a specific Buddha. The teacher who is granting the empowerment prepares by doing a focused retreat to make a strong connection with a particular Buddha, then they use that special connection to form a bridge between the Buddha and us.
An empowerment ceremony itself usually lasts about two hours, and can be seen as a long guided visualization. There are some prayers and rituals, but the teacher talks us through what is going on and explains what we should feel or imagine.
