MAHAKALA EMPOWERMENT
Saturday, January 27th, 2:00 p.m.
$30 general ($25 KDC members)
It is also customary to make a donation to the
empowering Lama.
Receiving this Empowerment of the
Six-Armed Dharma Protector (Gonpo Chakdrukpa)
authorizes one to do the Mahakala practice, which is
part of the regular KDC schedule. Mahakala is
essential for those who practice Vajrayana Buddhism
because it pacifies obstacles that arise on the path and
interfere with keeping Vajrayana commitments. This
Empowerment is rarely bestowed in the West. Since it
is not known when this Empowerment will be given
again, you are encouraged to participate at this time.
The Refuge Vow is required and will be
offered by Lama-la prior to the Empowerment.
MAHAKALA TEACHING AND PRACTICE
Sunday, January 28th, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
$35 general ($30 KDC members)
Pecha (Practice Text) $15
The practice of Mahakala is important for those who
practice Vajrayana Buddhism because it pacifies
obstacles that arise on the path and interfere with
keeping Vajrayana commitments. It is said that
instructions on the Mahakala practice must be given
by an authentic and qualified Vajra Master. This is a
rare opportunity to receive these teachings on a
practice that is essential for those committed to
Vajrayana Buddhism. Participants must have received
the Mahakala Empowerment.
Please note: You are welcome to bring a lunch and
stay during the mid-day break.
