Special Event! Empowerment by Shamar Rinpoche

Initiation Ceremony of Amitabha Buddha

Shamar Rinpche giving the Amitabha initiation in Malaysia in 1997
 
Amitabha is the Buddha of Limitless Light

Saturday, June 12, 10 am.

Out of great compassion for all beings and the purenss of his motivation, Amitabha Buddha created his Pure Land, called Sukhavati or Dewachen in Tibetan. This is a realm which is highly conducive to deep and profound meditation, one in which a practitioner may quickly attain enlightenment. Amitabha practice is the preparation for rebirth in Dewachen.

Please join us for this precious opportunity to receive the Amitabha initiation, which qualifies one to begin the practice of Amitabha Buddha, from Shamar Rinpoche himself.

HH Shamar Rinpoche is the lineage holder of the Karma Kagyu, the lineage of the great enlightened yogi Milarepa. One of the highest lama's of Tibet, Rinpoche is able to transmit the authentic meaning of the highest Buddhist teachings.
