The Empowerment and Commentary to the Practice of Buddha Maitreya
Maitreya is the manifestation of the realization of the loving-kindness of all the Buddhas.
His function is to guide us along the stages of the path to enlightenment, Lamrim.
By relying upon Buddha Maitreya with faith we will receive his special care, and he will bestow upon us the realizations of Kadam Lamrim through which we can solve our own and others’ problems and fulfil our own and others’ wishes.
Venerable Geshe Kelsang will grant the empowerment of Buddha Maitreya on Saturday May 23. Receiving this empowerment directly connects us with Buddha Maitreya, giving us the inspiration and confidence to progress successfully on the path to enlightenment.
On the following two days, Venerable Geshe Kelsang will give a commentary to the practice of Buddha Maitreya showing how we can continue to receive this special inspiration in our daily life.

The International Temples Project (ITP) was established by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso with the vision to build a Kadampa Buddhist Temple in every major city in the world.
