On December 25, Lama Tsering will grant the Red Tara empowerment for all those who wish to receive the empowerment for the first time or renew their vows!

The empowerment will be the opening of the Dream Yoga retreat, but it is not necessary to attend the retreat in order to receive the empowerment.

What is empowerment?

Empowerment is a ceremony in which the master authorizes the student to engage in Vajrayana meditation by imparting the blessings of the lineage of a particular practice.

It is said that receiving empowerment from a realized lama - and renewing that commitment by receiving empowerment many times - plants the seeds for enlightenment in our minds, thereby creating the causes for us to reveal our true nature.

This event is in-person only.

The Temple will be open from 3 pm until the end of the ceremony.

  Please read the following information carefully in order to participate

Schedule


The empowerment will take place between 5 pm and 7 pm (approx.) (UTC-3).
