New Zealand Dharma Celebration
7 - 9 May, Banks Peninsula, Christchurch
The Empowerment of Buddha Maitreya and Teachings on Loving KindnessSee: www.nzdharmacelebration.org
The Dharma Celebration is a unique opportunity to enjoy a spiritual holiday of teachings, meditations and empowerment, in the company of spiritual practitioners from all over New Zealand.
An empowerment is an opportunity to make a special connection with an enlightened being so that we can receive their constant care and protection. Buddha 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.
Following the empowerment Gen Rabten will also give teachings on loving kindness. Developing this warm heart gives us a feeling of closeness to all living beings as well as the ability to maintain a happy and peaceful mind all the time.
The Teachers

The meditations will be guided by Kelsang Drolchog, the Resident Teacher of Kalpa Bhadra Buddhist Centre in Christchurch.
The Location
The Celebration will be held at Wainui Park YMCA on the beautiful Banks Peninsula just 75 minutes drive from Christchurch.
