Danakosha Finland Organises

His Holiness Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche to visit Finland

We are very happy to announce that His Holiness Kyabje Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche has again accepted Danakosha's invitation to Finland, as well as our request for important empowerments and Phowa teachings. The program of the visit starts at 10th of September and lasts to 15th of September 2009.

This year Kyabje Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche will bestow the empowerments of Ka Gye or the Eight Proclamation Deities, Gong Dü or the Quintessential Intention of the Lama and Phurba or Vajrakilaya. These empowerments are very necessary to have for Vajrayana practitioners and very important to have in this country.

When the king Trisong Detsen invited the great master Padmasambhava from India to Tibet he gave mainly these empowerments to his fortunate disciples. Due to that many of Padmasambhava's disciples became enlightened in that very life, and Buddha Dharma has spread everywhere in Tibet and remained until this day.

It's very important to meet a great teacher, and it's even more important to receive empowerments like these. If you have the chance to get such empowerments, you will definitely accomplish both the common and supreme siddhis.

The meaning of common siddhi is that this life will be long and free from sickness, and all of your obscurations will be removed, and all of your good wishes fulfilled.

Supreme siddhi means your wisdom, loving kindness, compassion and freedom from the three poisons increase. Your path of liberation and level of realization will be effortlessly developed and you will definitely reach the accomplishment of your path of enlightenment.
