EWAM CHODEN is happy to announce that His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin, Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, head of the Sakya school, has kindly accepted our invitation to visit and bestow:

THE EMPOWERMENT OF CHAKRASAMVARA (Khorlo Demchok) in the Nagpopa Tradition (Krishnacharya).

This is an Anuttarayoga empowerment, the highest in Vajrayana Buddhism.

His name means Wheel of Highest Bliss-Union. Chakrasamvara is the consort of Vajrayogini.

BENEFIT NOTE: This high empowerment has no prerequisite excerpt for having taken Refuge from a Lama.

However, the Cakrasamvara Empowerment fulfills the prerequisite for a Vajrayogini empowerment by a Sakya Lama. If you haven’t received the empowerment of Vajrayogini by a Sakya Lama, and you intend to when it is available, by all means, it would be valuable to receive this Cakrasamvara empowerment. Furthermore, on August 4 & 5, 2018, His Holiness the Sakya Trichen (41st Sakya Trizin) will bestow the Empowerment of Vajra Nairatmya. The prerequisite for that empowerment is also fulfilled by receiving Cakrasamvara.

DATES: MONDAY, MAY 7 and TUESDAY May 8, 2018 (Both days are required for the empowerment.)

TIMES: Monday–7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Tuesday–3:00 pm to 8:00 pm

ABOUT THE 42nd SAKYA TRIZIN, head of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism

His Holiness the 42nd Kyabgon Gongma Trizin, Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, is the eldest son of His Holiness Sakya Trichen (the 41st Sakya Trizin). He is considered one of the most highly qualified lineage masters of Tibetan Buddhism.

Renowned for his erudition and the clarity of his teachings, His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin is from the prestigious Khön family, whose successive generations have provided an unbroken lineage of outstanding masters. (Please view this video–scroll down– for historical information, http://www.glorioussakya.org/history/sakya-lineage/ )
On March 9, 2017, His Holiness accepted the mantle of leadership from his esteemed father and root guru, in his new capacity as the 42nd Sakya Trizin or throne holder of the lineage. In doing so, he will continue to guide and inspire Dharma students from all over the world with his wisdom, genuine qualities of unaffected simplicity, humility and complete honesty, by presenting the Buddha’s teachings in the most authentic way, while maintaining the purest of Buddhist traditions.
