The Official Opening of the Kadampa Buddhist Temple at KMC Brazil.  The Empowerment and Commentary to the practice of Je Tsongkhapa, and the blessing transmission of Modern Buddhism: The Path of Wisdom and Compassion

Je Tsongkhapa is the Wisdom Buddha who appeared in Tibet and spread a pure Buddhadharma that showed how to combine the practices of Sutra and Tantra. He displayed a perfect example of how to build the foundation for the spiritual path, how to progress on that path and how to complete it. He also embodies the wisdom, compassion and spiritual power of all the Buddhas. By relying upon Je Tsongkhapa and engaging in meditations that focus on him, we can also develop and perfect these qualities within ourselves.

The Empowerment and Commentary to the Practice of Enlightened Mother Arya Tara

Arya Tara, or 'Superior Liberator', is a female Buddha who is the manifestation of the wind element of all the Buddhas. Because of this, if we rely upon Tara with strong faith she will quickly protect us from all fears and dangers, grant us her blessings and fulfil all our wishes. She is also the manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all the Buddhas, and is therefore known as the 'Enlightened Mother of the Conquerors'.

皈依是所有佛法的練習基礎。我們可透過參與此閉關來深化我們的皈依，進入所有精神證悟之門，與三寶更為接近。

“Tara” means “Rescuer”.  She is so called because she rescues us from the eight outer fears (the fears of lions, elephants, fire, snakes, thieves, water, bondage, and evil spirits), and from the eight inner fears (the fears of pride, ignorance, anger, jealousy, wrong views, attachment, miserliness, and deluded doubts).  Temporarily Tara saves us from the dangers of rebirth in the three lower realms, and ultimately she saves us from the dangers of samsara and solitary peace. 

If we rely upon Mother Tara sincerely and with strong faith, she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfil all our wishes.  Since she is a wisdom Buddha, and since she is a manifestation of the completely purified wind element, Tara is able to help us very quickly.

Gen Kelsang Tonglam will teach how to cut through our extreme attitudes and confusion with the wisdom of "The Middle Way", and thereby always follow the truth of how things are.
