Chöd Healing Ceremony and Chöd Empowerment
9am – 1pm

Traditional Tibetan Healing Ceremony is beneficial to all those who have physical or mental illnesses, it is clears the blockages of the karmic debts of previous lives, dissipates obstacles, purifies negative impacts, dissipates harmful influences ... 

Chöd Empowerment is a fully immersive Vajrayana buddhist empowerment with a commitment to practice. It is open only for the practitioners who wish to practice Chöd.

Chöd literally means “cutting”. It breaks the obstacles and obscurations, sometimes called “demons” or “gods”. Examples of demons are ignorance, anger and, in particular, dualist perception of the self.

New practitioners require to take refuge in The Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) in order to begin practice.
