Growing our Inner Strength
Empowerment of Dorje Shugden
We deeply appreciate Buddha’s teachings for the way they help us become a better, more peaceful person. But it’s hard to sustain this development in the busyness of our daily life. Like a small seedling in the chill of winter, our meditation practice is vulnerable and needs protection.
A Dharma protector is an emanation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva whose function is to eliminate outer and inner obstacles to our spiritual practice, and to arrange favourable conditions for us to make progress and improve ourself for the benefit of all.
By engaging in the practice of Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden we will be able to transform difficulties into the spiritual path, and be able to grow a strong and stable spiritual practice.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy this day of teachings, empowerment and meditation.
Although physically they may find themselves alone, inwardly those who put their trust in Dorje Shugden will never be apart from a powerful ally and a wise and compassionate guide.
