With the second day of the teachings falling on a major Indian festival day, the Gyalwang Karmapa began the next morning by offering Diwali greetings to his Indian friends among those gathered. After giving an advanced and profound teaching on the third of the three principal aspects of the path, correct understanding of emptiness, the Gyalwang Karmapa then offered the empowerment of Amitabha and the pure realm of Sukhavati. In a beautiful and sacred ceremony, those gathered first recited the liturgy of the Refuge and Bodhisattva Vows before the Gyalwang Karmapa conferred the powerful blessing. |
