CHENREZIG EMPOWERMENT
Saturday September 28 * 7pm. $20 door
SHELTERBELT THEATER
4383 Nicholas Street, Suite 204, Omaha, NE 68131
The Buddha of Compassion is known as Chenrezig (Tibetan) or Avalokitshevara (Sanskrit), Chenrezig pledged not to attain Buddhahood until all sentient beings were free from the sufferings of samsara. Chenrezig has many aspects and embodies the Universal Compassion of all the Buddhas of the three times and ten directions. The purpose of the empowerment is to establish a close relationship with Chenrezig to benefit from the power of compassion. This blessing helps one to become more peaceful and compassionate, even with the state of current events.
The empowerment will also initiate one into the mantra of Avalokitshevara:
OM MANI PADME HUM, which contains the essence of all 84,000 volumes of Buddha's teaching.
