Upcoming Events
GURU RINPOCHE'S 'IRON MOUNTAIN' LONG LIFE EMPOWERMENT
Sunday, March 7, 2010, 2:00 p.m. (Please arrive by 1:45 p.m.)
This special Empowerment of Guru Rinpoche is a blessing for long life and other favorable conditions. Guru Rinpoche stated that it is particularly important for Dharma practitioners to live a long life so that they have as much time as possible to practice the Dharma. By practicing the Dharma one can accumulate merit and pacify obscurations and negativities, thus leading one out of the state of samsara and enabling one to achieve the state of Buddhahood. The Refuge Vow is required and will be offered prior to the Empowerment.
Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing is a meditation master in the Shangpa and Karma Kagyu lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, and is the resident director of Kagyu Dakshang Chuling Dharma Center in Eugene. Lama gives teachings, seminars, and empowerments throughout the West Coast.
$20 general ($15 KDC members).
