White Tara Empowerment and Teachings, plus Shamata Teachings and Instruction with Drupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche

Hi Snow Bunnies,

As most of you know and some have experienced, White Tara has been the sangha's primary practice under the direction of Drupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche. It has been our our Wednesday evening group practice for more than two years. In addition to being a direct expression of compassion, White Tara is also a long life practice. especially important in these chaotic and turbulent times.

Practiced by all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, White Tara has been the main deity practice of many well-known Buddhist scholars and siddhas in both India and Tibet, foremost among whom where Nagarjuna and Atisha. White Tara's special function is to promote long life, both for the practitioner and for others. Ultimately, she is the very nature of the dharmakaya, and her practice is a means for attaining liberation.
