Ven. Lama Kunga Rinpoche has kindly agreed to bestow the EMPOWERMENT OF KURUKULLE ཀུ་རུ་ཀུ་ལླཱ; (Sanskrit) and རིག་བྱེད་མ་ (Tibetan)
Sunday, April 30, 2023, 2:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time
Kurukulle (Tibetan: rig che ma) is magnetizing power. Her practice is one of the 13 Golden Dharmas of the Sakyapa. She may be called upon for her powers of enchantment to subdue evil spirits, demon and humans working against the welfare of humanity and spiritual growth. Her practice may also be helpful for improving health, wealth, and spiritual energy. To the sincere practitioner, she brings a power of peacefulness, joy, and wisdom.
This empowerment is free to everyone. However, your donation of any amount is appreciated. You may donate by using the Donate button on the upper right side of the page. Or you may mail a check to Ewam Choden.
Please come on time. People won’t be admitted after the session has begun.
Please stay through the end, including dedication prayers and any advice from the lama. If you leave early, you aren’t considered to have received the empowerment.
Please show your full name in your Zoom window. If more than one person is attending, you can write all of your names.
A practice sadhana for Kurukulle from Ewam Choden can be mailed to people anywhere who have completed the empowerment and request it.
