The Blessing Empowerment of Dorje Shugden

Dharma Protector and Powerful Spiritual Friend

Saturday, November 5th @ KMC SF

We encounter all kinds of obstacles in our desire to improve ourselves, to overcome our negativities, and to make progress on the path to pure happiness. We therefore need to develop great confidence in our practice and in our ability to deal with adversity throughout our spiritual development.

A Dharma Protector is a spiritual friend who is a fully enlightened being; his primary function is to pacify obstacles and to provide favorable conditions for the development of love, compassion and wisdom. Thus, it is important to create a link with him to make progress on our path.

Dorje Shugden is the principal protector of Kadampa practitioners. By creating a connection with him, day after day, we will come to feel his positive influence in our practice. We will gradually be able to transform all our daily experiences into the path to liberation and enlightenment with great confidence and assurance. In this way, we ourselves will become a protector for all living beings.

Everyone is welcome!

What is an Empowerment?

An empowerment is a teaching and series of guided meditations through which we make a connection with a particular Buddha. It bestows upon us special blessings that heal our mind and awaken our Buddha nature.
