White Tara Empowerment with Thepo Tulku Rinpoche
2025-12-13 10:00 - 14:00
Join us for a transformative day with Thepo Tulku Rinpoche, a revered spiritual leader, beloved Buddhist teacher, and world-renowned human rights activist. Known for his dedication to spreading love, compassion, and wisdom, Rinpoche Thepo has touched countless lives through his teachings and guidance. He is celebrated for his joyful and humble presence, both in the Tibetan community and his adopted homeland.

Born in Tibet, Thepo Tulku was recognized as the 8th Thepo Tulku as a young child. In 1959, at just five years old, he fled Lhasa during the brutal crackdown on the Tibetan uprising, journeying through the Himalayas on the shoulders of monks who were shepherding the Dalai Lama to safety in India. His life story is one of resilience, courage, and devotion.

The day begins at 10 AM with a warm welcome and live music by Nicole Cassingham of the Taproots (taprootsmusic.com), followed by an introduction to White Tara and a powerful White Tara empowerment ceremony led by Thepo Tulku Rinpoche.

We will be having a potluck so please bring a dish to share.

All are welcome to attend this special event. Love offerings for Thepo Tulku Rinpoche are gratefully accepted, with a suggested donation of $25.

About White Tara and the 21 TarasIn Tibetan Buddhism, Tara is often recognized in 21 manifestations, each with its own color and energy, such as Blue Tara and Black Tara. Each form embodies a unique virtue to guide and support practitioners on their spiritual path.
