2.30pm - 4.30pm Initiation of Namgyalma*

This initiation bestows the authority to meditate on Namgyalma (Ushnishavijaya in Sanskrit), one of the three main Buddhist deities of longevity, along with White Tara and Amitayus. Revering and meditating on Namgyalma grants both mundane and transcendental siddhis. The most important of her mundane accomplishments is preserving and strengthening life energy, the granting of long life. Her profound siddhi is the swift accomplishment of transcendental wisdom. 

*In order to receive this initiation one must be and Buddhist and have taken refuge.  Lama Jampa Thaye may bestow refuge by arrangement – please contact the centre for information.
