Chöd Empowerment with Lama Tsang Tsing
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 March to bestow three empowerments (Green Tara, Chöd, Amitabha), which will be accessible on Zoom as well. 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 already taken formal refuge vows. If you need to take formal vows, a Refuge Vow ceremony will be offered by Lama Palden Drolma on Sunday, Feb. 8.
You may sign up for an individual Empowerment or you may register for all three Empowerments.
Chöd Empowerment
The Chöd practice comes from the human wisdom dakini Machig Labdrön. She was one of he most powerful and compelling teachers ever from Tibet. Machig taught Chöd as a radical method for cutting through ego-fixation and cultivating compassion and fearlessness. Through chanting, visualization, and music we welcome negative mind states and harmful forces that ordinarily give rise to fear and reactivity. We make offerings which nourish and satisfy them, and in the process, we come to see the equality of all phenomena and our indestructible true nature.
