About this Event

Je Tsongkhapa Empowerment: The union of sutra and tantra

Saturday, Novembver 22 - 10:00am to 4:00pm

Je Tsongkhapa is a manifestation of Wisdom Buddha Manjushri, celebrated for showing how to integrate the profound teachings of Sutra and Tantra into a single, unified path. His legacy offers a clear and practical approach to practicing Dharma, even in these turbulent and spiritually degenerate times.

In this special event, Gen Khedrub will grant the empowerment of Je Tsongkhapa, creating a powerful connection to his enlightened wisdom. This empowerment is a doorway to transforming our mind through blessings and inspiration, helping us deepen our Dharma practice and navigate the challenges of modern life with clarity and purpose.

Following the empowerment, Gen Khedrub will offer a commentary on the Heart Jewel practice—a rich and accessible daily meditation that helps us receive ongoing guidance and protection. Through this practice, we learn how to rely on our Spiritual Guide, accumulate merit, purify negativity, and receive powerful blessings that support our journey to enlightenment.

This event is a rare opportunity to engage with the union of Sutra and Tantra in a living, practical way—and to step onto the path of the modern-day Bodhisattva with confidence and joy.
