Mid-Atlantic Dharma Celebration

The Mid-Atlantic Dharma Celebration is an annual Buddhist meditation festival in Baltimore that includes teachings, a blessing ceremony called an empowerment, & guided meditations. An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we receive powerful blessings that enrich our body speech and mind. This year, Kadam Morten will grant the empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa, connecting us to an endless source of wisdom that will sustain us throughout our spiritual journey. The empowerment and subsequent commentary will unlock the door to the sublime and blissful practice of Mahamudra Tantra through which enlightenment can be accomplished swiftly.
