About this Event
When we are inspired, we can do amazing things. With inspiration, we can love and forgive, put bad habits behind us, and achieve new heights - even enlightenment. Inspiration doesn't have to be a random, haphazard experience; we can tune in to inspiration whenever we wish by learning to receive blessings. In this mini retreat, Gen Rinzin will define blessings and explain their transformative power, and then will elucidate methods for receiving blessings. We will then engage in a traditional Buddhist meditation for receiving blessings into our heart, and finally learn how to transform ordinary activities, such as eating, into opportunities to be inspired.
