- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 02:30 pm – Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We spend all our time and energy trying to avoid problems by making changes to our external world. However, our unhappiness and difficulties are not caused by the external world but are the result of the negative karma we have created in the past through our own harmful actions. By relying upon Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification, and practicing a special meditation, we can free ourselves from all our negative karma. As a result, all our experiences will be positive, we will have a peaceful, pure mind and will easily remove obstacles to our spiritual development.

Each session includes chanted prayers, reciting the Vajrasattva purification mantra, and concentrating on the Four Powers of reliance, regret, opponent force and promise.
