Initiation of White Dzambhala*

Sunday 17 September, 2.30pm

White Dzambhala is a manifestation of the Chenrezik, the Buddha of Compassion. The practice is done to remove the suffering of poverty and sickness, purify non-virtuous karma and generate bodhicitta. The practice is said to originate from the great Indian saint, Atisha, who visited Tibet in the 11th Century CE.
