H.E. Garchen
Rinpoche leads and bestows
White Tara
Empowerment, Sat.
3/4 kl. 23:30 CEST
This
White Tara Empowerment is rarely given, and it comes from the previous Garchen
Rinpoche, Gar Trinley Yongkyab. It’s a very short ritual empowerment and
sadhana. At Gar Monastery in Tibet, they
recite this practice continually.
Here
is the story of how we can receive this special empowerment and sadhana of
White Tara.
Lama
Drubnye Tengye was a disciple of the previous Garchen Rinpoche. Lama Drubnye
Tengye was a mahasiddha who spent most of his life in retreat and conferred
most of the Drikung Kagyu empowerments and transmissions at Gar Monastery. He
passed away in retreat and was considered a very precious lama. Lama Drubnye
Tengye was the first to recognize Garchen Rinpoche when he was young as the
incarnation of Gar Trinley Yongkhyab. Gar Trinley Yongkhab had a dream of Tara
giving him a crystal mala, vase, and other auspicious objects. Tara merged with
him directly. These dreams happened numerous times. Gar Trinley Yongkhab shared
these experiences with the lamas at the monastery. Drubnye Tengye then
requested Gar Trinley Yongkyab to compose a short White Tara Sadhana, and he
agreed since he had so many dreams and direct experiences with Tara. Thus, Gar
Trinley Yongkhab composed a short sadhana and short empowerment ritual of White
Tara. ..
Garchen
Rinpoche recalls when he was young, he did not know how to give all sorts of
different empowerments. This White Tara empowerment was the only one he was
giving when he was requested to give an empowerment. It’s concise and simple,
and extremely precious. .

BODHISATTVA VOW
& Birthday Celebration, Tue. 6/4 kl. 18 - 21 CEST
Important
Message from H.E. Garchen Rinpoche:
Out of
Garchen Rinpoche’s limitless compassion, on his birthday, his wish is to bestow
online the Bodhisattva Vow. This is a special occasion for those who have never
recieved this vow before and also helps give his disciples a chance to renew
their vow.
The
Bodhisattva Vow can only be taken after you have taken the Refuge Vow. This vow
represents our commitment to the altruistic intent; to the courageous heart
which places others before self and seeks enlightenment to benefit all sentient
beings. In taking this vow, we commit to love and compassion as our path.
Afterwards
share in the Celebration of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche’s 85th Birthday.
Once
the zoom room is full we ask that people watch on our Youtube channel.
