RELEASING LIFE (PDF-1782)

Last Saturday I had the privilege of attending an empowerment by the Venerable Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche. This took place in Columbus, Ohio at the KTC (Karma Thegsum Chöling) dharma center. A Tibetan Buddhist empowerment (for those of you who may be unfamiliar with this term) is a ceremony in which the empowering master administers a particular quality directly to those present – an initiation. The Tibetan word for empowerment is “wang,” which literally means “power,” so that kind of says it all.
