Khenpo Migmar's Black Tara Empowerment

You are invited to attend Black Tara Empowerment with Khenpo Migmar on Saturday, Nov 15th, from 1- 4pm.

Who is Black Tara?

The term “Black Tara : Krodha Kali” (also spelled Krodha-kali or known in Tibetan as Troma Nagmo) refers to the goddess Tara / Vajrayogini / Kali in Buddhism. She is a potent protector and transformer of inner and outer obstacles, obscurations, and negativities

What “Empowerment” Means & Its Benefits

An empowerment of Black Tara / Krodha Kali — in tantric Buddhist practice — is a transmission Khenpo Migmar that authorizes and blesses a practitioner to engage in the associated sadhana, mantra, visualization, and ritual practices. But more than “permission,” it can be considered as a spiritual activation.

Benefits Commonly Attributed to Practicing After Empowerment

Once empowered, the sadhana practice of Black Tara / Krodha Kali is believed to yield various benefits on multiple levels (external, internal, and secret). Some of these include:

Removal of obstacles / hindrances: The practice is particularly strong for dispelling internal obstacles (fear, ignorance, emotional affliction) as well as external threats or interference (spiritual antagonism, malevolent forces)

Cutting attachment to the self / ego: One of her main roles is to sever the psychic clinging to “I / me / mine,” which is one of the deepest root causes of suffering.

Purification of karmic obscurations / negative imprints: By working with her energy, the practitioner can cleanse habitual patterns, negative karmas, and latent obscurations

Acceleration of wisdom realization: Because her method is fierce and direct, it is considered powerful for rapidly accelerating insight into emptiness, nondual awareness, and the true nature of mind
