Introductory Talk: The Source of Happiness
Where does happiness come from? We long for a happy life but look continually for it in wrong directions. The truth is that happiness does not come from working hard to satisfy our own wants and needs, but instead from giving it to others. If we live our life by this special wisdom, we will improve all our relationships, solve all our problems and be able to benefit everyone we meet.

Blessing Empowerment of Venerable White Tara:
Long life, Wisdom, and Good Fortune
The purpose of an empowerment is to engage in a beautiful guided meditation to receive special blessings for our body, speech, and mind. White Tara is a female enlightened being who bestows blessings of long life, wisdom, and good fortune. In order to complete the spiritual path, we need to live a long time. We also need the wisdom that can guide us to make our life meaningful by giving happiness to others, and we need good fortune to in order to accomplish our goals. By coming under the care of White Tara and receiving her special blessings, we can definitely have a long and meaningful life.

Teachings and Prayers for World Peace: The Inner Wealth of Giving
So much anxiety in our lives comes from trying to obtain wealth. Instead of striving to gain external wealth, it would be far better if we worked to acquire the internal wealth that comes from giving. By practicing the four types of giving, we will discover that we have the power to become rich beyond imagining. Giving is an inexhaustible source of true happiness for both ourselves and others.
