Protector from all Obstacles: Dorje Shugden Empowerment and Teachings

In challenging times we need to find protection from dangers and worries so that we can make continual spiritual progress. Dorje Shugden is a Wisdom Buddha who destroys all our obstacles and gathers all the conditions we need to practice Dharma and transform life’s difficulties into stepping stones to enlightenment.

Whether we’re facing daily troubles or spiritual obstacles, our Dharma Protector offers us unwavering care and protection. By drawing close to him we become fearless, with the spiritual strength to help both ourselves and others. Modern life is too often filled with uncertainty, but in Dorje Shugden we will always find an invaluable ally and unchanging friend.

Dorje Shugden is also known as the “great Protector of the Guru’s words” because he helps us penetrate the profound wisdom of Kadam Dharma, ensuring its light continues to shine for generations to come.

Gen-la Dekyong will grant empowerment and share practical teachings on how to come under the constant care of this powerful Protector. Through this we can realize our Spiritual Guide’s teachings, make swift progress in our practice of Sutra and Tantra, and come to experience his same enlightened state.

The empowerment and teachings are open to everyone.
