Cultivating Wisdom, Eloquence, and Creative Insight
Initiation of White Saraswati - Saturday 2.30-4.30pm
Guidance on the vajrayana meditation practice - Sunday 10.30-12.30pm
Join us for a special afternoon at Dechen LA as Lama Jampa Thaye bestows the initiation of White Saraswati, one of the most essential Vajrayana practices for cultivating wisdom, eloquence, and artistic expression. The following morning he will provide step by step guidance on how to accomplish the associated vajrayana meditation practice (sadhana).
White Saraswati, the goddess of learning and the arts, is revered in Tibetan Buddhism as a source of insight and clarity. Through receiving her blessing and engaging in her meditation, practitioners can deepen their ability to communicate with compassion and precision, refine their creative gifts, and sharpen their understanding of the dharma.
What This Initiation Offers
Meditation Authorization
Receiving this initiation gives you the authority to meditate on White Sarawati, as practiced in the Sakya tradition.
A Renowned Lineage Practice
This particular initiation comes from the profound Bodong lineage, one of the lesser-known yet deeply rich streams of Tibetan Buddhism.
Refuge and Bodhisattva Vow
Lama Jampa will bestow refuge and the bodhisattva vow during the preliminary part of the initiation.
Who Can Attend?
This event is open to anyone with a sincere interest in practicing vajrayana Buddhist meditation. No prior experience or initiation is required and a step by step explanation of the practice will be given the following day, which needs to be booked separately.
Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in. Registration is encouraged to help us prepare the space.
We look forward to welcoming you to this evening of blessing and practice.
