Green Tara Empowerment

Healing~Compassion~Insight

Join us for this traditional Tibetan Buddhist meditation and blessing, given by Khenpo Migmar Tseten. Green Tara is a female Buddha, who embodies fearless wisdom and pure, unconditional love and compassion. She is depicted stepping off the meditation platform, symbolic of swift action in the world. In Green Tara practice, we manifest the qualities embodied in Green Tara in order to absorb them into our being, which helps us to remove obstacles and empowers our inherently awakened state in this present moment.

An Empowerment Ceremony is a multifaceted experience. It is a teaching and a guided meditation. The meditation includes visualization, intent creation, and mantra recitation, evoking a powerful environment for attentive awareness. It is also a blessing, as Khenpo MIgmar projects healing energy cultivated through a lifetime of practice to all participants during the empowerment. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the rich, beautiful imagery of Tibetan Buddhism.

Khenpo Lama Migmar Tseten: We are incredibly fortunate to have Khenpo Lama Migmar Tseten come to the Cedar Wind Center to offer this Green Tara Empowerment teaching and ceremony.

After moving to the US, he founded the Sakya Institute for Buddhist Studies in Cambridge, MA., and Mangalam Studio. He also serves as Buddhist Chaplain at Harvard University.
