Why is life hard? Why is it difficult to understand Buddhist teachings, or to find the time to practice?
According to Buddhism, it’s because we carry negative karma. This negative karma creates all our difficulties, discomfort, worry and unhappiness.
To gain the happy life we long for, we need to purify this negative karma. The best way to do this is to practice Vajrasattva purification, which starts with empowerment into the practice.
At this empowerment and retreat, you’ll draw close to a powerful friend and ally. With steady practice, over time, your experiences will become more positive, you’ll have a peaceful, pure mind, and eventually, you’ll realise your potential for permanent happiness.
