Chöd Empowerment with Lama Tsang Tsing
[Rescheduled from March]
Sunday, July 26 at 2 PM
In Person Only [virtual will be available to anyone who lives outside of the Bay Area OR is unable to attend in person due to health or other issues]
We are pleased to announce that Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing, from the Kagyu Dakshang Chuling center in Eugene, Oregon will be at Sukhasiddhi Foundation’s Wisdom River Meditation Center in late July to bestow three empowerments. An empowerment authorizes us to do a practice and provides a profound transmission and blessing that is a supreme method of purification.
Prerequisites for all of the empowerments:
Participants must have taken formal Refuge Vows ...
and be an active participant in Sukhasiddhi Foundation programs of study, classes, meditations, retreats or events.
Sangha members of Kagyu Takten Phuntsokling (KTP) in Sebastopol are invited as well.
The Chöd practice comes from the human wisdom dakini Machig Labdrön. She was one of the most powerful and compelling teachers ever from Tibet. Machig taught Chöd as a radical method for cutting through ego-fixation and cultivating compassion and fearlessness. Through chanting, visualization, and music we welcome negative mind states and harmful forces that ordinarily give rise to fear and reactivity. We make offerings which nourish and satisfy them, and in the process, we come to see the equality of all phenomena and our indestructible true nature.
Fee for Chöd Empowerment:
$ 35 (Base)
$ 30 (Sukhasiddhi member)
$ 50 (Generous)
*In addition to registration fees, plan to offer a dana donation to Lama Tsang Tsing following each empowerment.
