Sorry for any inconvenience. The Ewam Choden Board of Directors has to postpone the annual Members Meeting because we’re busy preparing for the visit of His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin in May. Members, friends, students, and any interested people may email Ewam Choden with any questions and for more information. We do need volunteers to help with the event.
Thank you.

This particular form, the Vajrapani Bhutadamara, is the “one who Subdues Demons.” He stops discordant conditions and obstacles, and the harms of all kinds of spirits and demons from above, below, and in the middle.
