White Tara Retreat in Conjunction with Ven. Shangpa Rinpoche's Birthday
07/09/2008 to 12/09/2008

White Tara is the embodiment of compassion, granting good health and longevity, enabling us to have more time to practice without obstacles. Her seven eyes compassionately watch over sentient beings at all times.

In conjunction with Ven. Shangpa Rinpoche's birthday, Karma Kagyud Buddhist Centre is organizing a White Tara Retreat led by Ven. Tseyang Rinpoche and dedicated towards Ven. Shangpa Rinpoche's good health and longevity, so that he will be able to continue turning the wheel of Dharma to benefit all sentient beings.

Things to Note:

Retreat participants must register themselves before the retreat.

Retreat participants must observe a vegetarian diet throughout the retreat.

Retreat participants will not be staying at the centre.

Retreat participants are advised to attend the White Tara Initiation, Teaching and Oral Transmission.
