Green Tara Empowerment

Another wonderful event organized by KMC Texas was the Green Tara Empowerment which was granted by Kelsang Jampa in Lubbock, Texas at the end of June. Around 55 people came to receive the blessings of Green Tara who is the female Buddha of swift compassion. She is the embodiment of the wind element of all Buddhas so she can help us very quickly when we make prayers to her. Many people came all the way from Dallas/Fort Worth (6 hour drive) and other distant Texas cities.

Long ago, Green Tara appeared to Atisha  (the teacher who brought Kadampa Buddhism to Tibet  982-1054 AD) and promised that she would always care for his followers. Kadampa Buddhists definately have a special connection with mother Tara. That connection became obvious to the attendents of this event through the clear teachings and powerful blessings.
