Phakyab Rinpoche will give an empowerment and teaching on Guru Rinpoche, known as “The Lotus-born Guru Padmasambhava. Together with the King of Tibet Trison Detsen, and India’s great scholar Shantarakshida, Guru Rinpoche brought Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. Here, “Padmasambhava is surrounded by golden rays, recalling his power to subdue the dark-forces of negativity and call forth the bright light of realization. In his right hand he holds a vajra, symbol of spiritual power; in his left hand is a skullcap filled with nectar and a vase holding the elixir of immortality.”-Giclee back description, Dharma Publishing
