- FAQ
- Reviews
This free course provides a reading of a preliminary translation of the Dharma Discourse by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on “Making Vows in Order to Seek Empowerment” given on the Trip to the East in 2008. This short discourse contains some very important principles that must be understood concerning how there can be no bargaining with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. There is no quid pro quo when we request empowerment or the blessings of the Holy Ones.
The video is from a reading of a preliminary translation of this discourse by Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche at a Lemonade Sangha class given on February 3, 2022.
