🌸🔥 Special Sh*tro K**a Empowerment from the Guhyagarbha Ta**ra | Sept. 15–17
Tulku Thadral Rinpoche has graciously offered to bestow the empowerment of the 100 Peaceful and Wrathful Deities from the K**a, or long oral, lineage.
Connected with the Guhyagarbha Ta**ra—the principal Mahayoga ta**ra of the Nyingma tradition—this empowerment is an important source for the Bardo teachings and later Sh*tro practices revealed within the treasure tradition. The Guhyagarbha Ta**ra is also connected with the view, meditation, and conduct of Great Perfection Atiyoga.
The K**a Sh*tro Empowerment is elaborate and rarely bestowed, making this a special opportunity to receive it from a fully qualified lineage holder of the Nyingma tradition. Rinpoche will also give the lungs, or reading transmissions, for the peaceful, wrathful, and combined sadhanas of the Sh*tro mandalas.
📍 Sept. 15–17 at Pema Osel Ling
