Guru Rinpoche Empowerment with Lama Tsang Tsing
[Rescheduled from March]
Monday, July 27 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.
Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche in Tibet and Bhutan due to his being the pre-eminent Rinpoche of the Vajrayana tradition, was key in establishing Buddhism in Tibet, Bhutan, and in many other Himalayan regions.
He is famous for his ability to transform negative and destructive energies into positive, constructive forces for the benefit of all beings. Guru Rinpoche also buried many treasures- meditation texts, teachings, statues, and other holy objects for future generations, for tertons, or treasure revealers, to find when the time is right. He was the primary teacher to introduce and train students in Dzogchen. Hundreds of meditation practices have come from him to us, including Tara, Vajrakilaya, Tröma, Bardo, and Medicine Buddha, among others.
Receiving this empowerment in an unbroken, alive lineage passed down from him to us transmits to us his blessing and seeds of full realization. You will receive the Guru Rinpoche mantra.
