As part of H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche's birthday celebration on August 12th, Lama Tsering will grant the Red Tara empowerment to all those who wish to receive it for the first time or to renew their vows!
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.
Please read the following information carefully in order to participate
