ZaChoeje Rinpoche's Teaching on February 4 and 5 10:00am-4:00pm
Refuge practice is known as the entrance to the spiritual path In Buddhism.
It invokes the inspiration, admiration and trusting faith in the Three Jewels - the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.” ZaChoeje Rinpoche
Entering into the spitural path; The Refuge Practice.
Refuge (Tib. Kyab-Dro) is the entry and gateway into the spiritual path. In this practice, we learn how to acknowledge our fear of suffering and gain confidence in overcoming it by generating faith in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. When we take refuge in these Three Jewels, we navigate our spiritual journey to reach our fullest potential- the primordial Buddha nature. In this workshop, Rinpoche will precisely teach us how to engage into refuge practice step by step.

Vajrapani Empowerment with ZaChoeje Rinpoche February 11 and 12 10:00am-4:00pm
ZaChoeje Rinpoche is kindly granting the Vajrapani empowerment (Tib. Chag-Dor Je-Nang). Vajrapani- the Lord of Secret; is the powerful infinite courageous enlightened energy of Enlightenment. This wrathful deity practice eliminates obstacles and destroys negative forces. It helps us invoke our own powerful courageous nature and brings more energy to our spiritual life.
The blessings bestowed to us during the empowerment enable us to identify with Vajrapani's powerful spiritual strength.
Through the kindness of our spiritual teacher we become inspired with true instruction on how to explore and utilize this powerful practice. We will come to understand some profound ways to develop compassion and wisdom as well. The ripples from the Vajrapani practice reverberate across the expanse of space benefiting all sentient beings.
The empowerment may be taken with the intent to practice Vajrapani or may be taken as a special blessing.
