Dorje Shugden Empowerment and Commentary

A supreme start to 2025 with Empowerment of the Great King Wisdom Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden along with teaching and commentary on how to perform Close retreat.
Dorje Shugden is a Dharma protector. The principal function of a Dharma protector is to protect our Dharma practice. If we rely on Dorje Shugden he will grant us blessings, increase our wisdom and bestow success on our spiritual activities. This empowerment is an opportunity to make a strong connection with this Buddha and to receive his powerful blessings.
