Adhisthana (Skt.): Also known as 'blessing(s).' In the Vajrayana tradition, a student who has genuine devotion and proper motivation can receive the blessings of the lineage. Blessings are usually bestowed by one's teacher and other lineage masters, or can be received through heartfelt connection to one's practice. Blessings awaken a greater sense of awareness in the practitioner.
