Personal Healing Sessions – Vajravidaran Ritual.
Vajravidaran is a specialized cleansing deity of esoteric Buddhism. It is very powerful in cleaning body, speech and mind of living beings from all the possible spiritual and material contaminants. Vajravidaran is a Buddha associated with purification and health. Health is a result of our karmic imprints. This ritual offers an opportunity to improve your health by purifying negative karma. The ritual has three stages: the removal of negativities, the cleansing of subtle negative imprints, and protection from their return. With the power of Mantra, Mudra and Samadhi the supreme power of Vajravidaran is activated and directed to benefit the subject. Benefit of the ritual will be felt mentally, physically and emotionally. The ritual contributes greatly to the harnessing positive energy, and increase mental and physical faculties.

His journey starts in Pasadena, California with a widowed mother working to raise nine children. Venerable Chophel was number eight. It was filled with both adversity and wonder.

Menla (Medicine) Buddha Empowerment
Empowerments are meant to establish a special connection between the participant
and the particular Buddhist deity. This can only be done through a highly-trained, fully empowered, authentic Lama in accordance with all the proper preparations and rituals
Receiving an Empowerment is like the planting of a seed. Properly cultivated with the right conditions, this seed will sprout and help you grow into the enlightened state of Buddhahood.
During the Empowerment, each participant’s three doors (body, speech, and mind) are purified of negativities and blessed individually. Thus there is a Body Initiation, a Speech Initiation and a Mind Initiation. In this way, the defilements of each of the three doors are purified and they are empowered to visualize the form of the Deity, to recite the Deity’s mantra and to meditate on the mind of the Deity. Participants receive the direct transmission of the mantra passed down in unbroken ancient lineage
Suggested Donation 20.00 at the door.

SacredMusic and Chanting
Ancient Tibetan multiphonic chanting is a rare and unique experience created by monks singing a chord containing two or three tones simultaneously. The special sound they create is not a simply a song, it is a sacred offering – an offering to the Buddhist deities for the benefit of all sentient beings. The deep, resonate, vibrant chords, representing the essence of the secret tantric teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, fill the room and transform both the environment and the audience with their powerful energy

Chay Drol Purification Ritual. Chay Drol literally translates as, “to make free of obstacles” is a ritual that helps to remove impediments which prevent one from achieving enlightenment. The ritual begins with the Lama generating himself in the form of a deity. He then places colored strings and pieces of cloth on various parts of the participant’s body; and through ritual, one’s negativities and obstacles are fused to the strings and pieces of cloth. The Lama then uses ‘Wisdom Weapons’ to cut the obstacles from the participant, thereby freeing them and opening the door to liberation $ 20.00 suggested donation at the door.

The Grand Finale
A Journey to the Roof of the World: Sacred Dance and Chants of Tibet.Come join us for an evening of sacred sounds from the roof of the world. Long hidden behind the Himalayan mountain ranges, the ancient Tibetan culture remained virtually untouched by the outside world for thousands of years.
The sacred ritual dances of Tibetan Buddhism are not simply a performance, they are an ancient spiritual ritual, created to transform negativities and obstacles within our world system into harmonious conditions. The origins of these dances have their roots steeped in the secret path of tantric Buddhism.
These dances require years of intensive training. Though these are secret and sacred dances not intended for the general public, on tour the Monks are able to perform short excerpts from these dances along with Tibetan folk dances.
Journey to the Roof of the World also includes sacred chanting, music and debate, a ritual to encourage clarity of thought and excellence in learning, used in the traditional monastery setting. Elaborate costumes, enchanting music and a glimpse into a hidden culture make this event an opportunity for entertainment and learning for the whole family.
This program is a two hour stage program with a brief intermission.
