Manjushri Empowerment
and Teachings on Solving Life’s Problems with the Seven Types of Wisdom
with Gen Samten Kelsang
December 26 – 29 | Registration Opens Wednesday, September 23 @2pm
Wisdom dissolves confusion and fear, allowing us to respond to life with greater vision, insight, and love. Wisdom is not distant or abstract—it is the peace and happiness that arises when we meet each moment with clarity and a compassionate heart.
In this course, we explore how wisdom becomes a source of genuine happiness and peace. Rather than chasing fleeting pleasures or resisting discomfort, we cultivate the capacity to learn from life and let all our daily interactions and experiences be our spiritual teachers. Wisdom teaches us to embrace life as it is, with all its joys and sorrows, and to act from a place of inner freedom.
When cultivating wisdom in modern day life the Yoga of Manjushri - the Buddha of Wisdom - is invaluable. Using this special Tantric technology, together with faith, imagination, and mantra recitation we can cultivate seven special types of wisdom that bring power into our personal spiritual practices and sharp and swift insight into our meditation on emptiness.
