Details of this retreat
Join us at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center on Saturday, July 19th from 9:30 a.m. ET as Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche offers his first ever initiation ceremony.
For those unable to attend the summer retreat, we invite you to join us for the Long Life Empowerment of Tsewang Rikdzin by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
The initiation is open to everyone and is being offered both in person at the center and online. For those attending in person, lunch follows.
Tsewang Rikdzin is known as the “King of Longevity” and is the long life deity of the Bön tradition of Tibet. Practitioners use his rituals and practices to heal the soul, strengthen life force, and remove obstacles to a long and fulfilling life.
An initiation, also known as an empowerment, or wang in Tibetan, is a ceremony that activates our potential for self-realization - stimulating our Buddha-nature by transforming our ordinary body, speech, mind, actions and good qualities into those of a Buddha. The initiation supports our developing these “seeds” in daily life and in our meditation. Even if we do not learn the formal practices of the deity, initiation establishes a connection with the lineage of teachers and living spiritual tradition.
