Lama Jampa: Initiation of Manjushri

  • Sakya Buddhist Center, Los Angeles 220 Pier Avenue Santa Monica, CA, 90405 United States (map)

We are pleased to announce that Lama Jampa Thaye will bestow the initiation of Manjushri, the radiant embodiment of enlightened wisdom in the Vajrayana tradition.

Manjushri holds a central place in Tibetan Buddhism as the personification of insight and discriminating awareness—the qualities that allow us to truly understand the nature of reality and free ourselves from confusion. His blazing sword cuts through ignorance, while his gentle speech guides beings on the path of clarity, compassion, and realization.

This vajrayana initiation (Tib. wang) opens the door to a profound meditation practice that helps the practitioner awaken inner wisdom. By receiving this transmission and engaging in the sadhana of Manjushri, we are supported in developing the penetrating insight that is so essential for both study and meditation.

Lama Jampa will introduce the background and significance of the practice before conferring the initiation. This event is especially valuable for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the Dharma and cultivate a more lucid, stable, and insightful mind.

Lama Jampa will bestow refuge and the bodhisattva vow during the preliminary part of the initiation.

We warmly invite you to join us for this special opportunity.

We look forward to welcoming you to this evening of blessing and practice.
