Red Tara Empowerment
In preparation for the Drubchöd of Red Tara, Lama Tsering will grant empowerment to those who are going to receive it for the first time or to those who want to renew their vows.
This ceremony is part of the Drubchöd of Tara, but you can register for the empowerment only.
There are no prerequisites.
Only in person.
Drubchöd is an elaborate and extensive practice, which includes the recitation of a sadhana, mantras and ritual dances.
A Drubchöd has offerings as elaborate as those of a Drubchen, but over a shorter period.
The offering price is R$95.
Registration is via the website only, until 10/10 at noon.
Friday - October 11
Check in: from 7pm.
Start: 8pm
In person only: R$ 95
