Annual two-day retreat with ZaChoeje Rinpoche
Emaho Center
May 24, 25, 26, 2019
Please join us for ZaChoeje’s annual two-day retreat.
Chenrezig Ngensong Kundrol (Compassion Buddha who liberates beings from the lower realms)
This year Rinpoche will bestow the empowerment of Chenresig Nyensong Kundrol, the Compassion Buddha. Chenresig Kundrol Buddha liberates beings from the lower realms. This is the first time Rinpoche is offering this extraordinary empowerment to us in the West. Chenresig Nyenson Kundrol is one of the visionary practices that comes from the great Master Takphu Dorjechang. This extraordinary teaching creates a vibrant and powerful practice that brings to us great merit. As we practice, the merit increases exponentially, closing the doors to our being born in the lower realms. In Tibetan communities it is traditionally said that by receiving this empowerment you will not find yourself in a lower realm in your next life. When practiced, the Chenredig Nyenson Kundrol will bring realizations of more skillful ways to evoke loving kindness toward ourselves and others.
Having true lineage master master bestow and explain the nuances of the practice is a rare opportunity. ZaChoeje Rinpoche, by giving us the Chenresig Nyenson Kundrol empowerment, allows us to enter the practice confidently, benefiting ourselves and others and bringing spiritual and material enrichments. During the retreat Rinpoche will teach, explain how to practice, and answer questions while giving us his wise and compassionate guidance.
