“Just pushing in meditation or contemplation, reading books, understanding or studying, these things alone are not good enough because we need to receive blessings from enlightened beings.” Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

In terms of making progress in our meditations and training our minds, what difference blessings make! Without the water of blessings, our potential for realizations is said to be like dry seeds that cannot sprout nor grow into a crop of experience. In Buddhist practice, blessings are what happens when we learn to commune with an enlightened mind. We can tell that our mind is blessed when we experience it changing swiftly from a negative mind to a positive mind, an unhappy mind to a happy mind, and a heavy mind to a light mind.

Through blessings, we swiftly let go of the deluded minds—such as anger and jealousy—that produce suffering and gain experience of the positive, wisdom-based minds—such as love, patience, and compassion—that give rise to authentic happiness.

We don’t need to wait for blessings to happen. In this course, through meditation and discussion, we’ll learn to access the transformative magic of blessings whenever we wish and empower our meditation practice.
