This is a special opportunity to receive the blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. In this ceremony, we will establish a deep spiritual connection with Buddha Shakyamuni. By receiving this empowerment, we can awaken the supreme qualities within our consciousness and find the pure true nature of our mind.
This workshop will begin with an empowerment ceremony, and will be followed by two sessions of commentary teachings on "In Praise of Dependent Origination" by the great Jamgon Lama Tsongkhapa.
“In Praise of Dependent Origination”
Master Tsongkhapa gives poetical expression to his enormous appreciation of Buddha’s kind and compassionate teaching of dependent arising or origination, which is the essence of all wisdom that clears the darkness of ignorance.
All are welcome.
