Empowerment of the Avalokitesvara

Empowerment means transmission of teaching by the Guru. The practice of the Avalokitesvara Sadhana seeks prosperity and long life, which are helpful factors in seeking liberation of all sentient beings from the six realms. It is only in the precious human form that the attainment of enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings is possible. However, it is easier to achieve this in a continuous lifetime than many lifetimes where one wastes so much time learning how to use the body in the formative years. (more)

Empowerment of White Umbrella Diety

Empowerment means transmission of teaching and blessing by the Guru. The recitation and visualization on White Umbrella Deity is to drive back all forms of negative aspect in life. The ultimate goal of this prayer is to arrive at Pureland in a swift way. (more)

Dharma Teaching, Open Forum and Blessing

The Dharma is to be studied, practiced, and realized. Immediate realization is its ultimate goal. Without constant practice of its teachings, one cannot appreciate the truth. The Dharma is compared to a raft used to cross the ocean of samsara. The Buddha expects his disciples to observe his teachings. He also asks that one should not accept teachings blindly but instead use scientific analysis. (more)

Empowerment of Medicine Buddha

Medicine Buddha is considered the Buddha of the Eastern Pureland. His color is lapis lazuli blue, the hue of the dark, gold-threaded stone called lapis lazuli. He made a vow to help those who call upon him when ill or injured and to aid those who revere him to achieve a long and healthy life. (more)
