incurable diseases, mental illness, depressions, sickness that are
caused by spirits of the eight classes, non-humans and karmic
creditors, the practice is best done in the evening, whereby

Event : Guru Padma Woe Bar Empowerment by ZogNam
Rinpoche
Date : March 27
Time : 10.00am
Tulku Zog Nam Rinpoche will be conferring the Guru Padma Woe Bar
Empowerment on 27th March. Guru Padma Woe Bar (Guru Rinpoche Long
Life Iron Peak) is one of the manifestations of Guru
Rinpoche.
When Guru Rinpoche was at Maratika Cave, he requested the Lord of
Long Life to grant him the empowerment of long life and bless him
with it. Guru Rinpoche then went to Tibet to conceal this practice
together with other treasures. Thereafter this practice was
revealed by Terton Rinzin Gyaltsol Nyingpo.
If one receives this empowerment, it will help one to avoid
untimely death, pacify any obscurations, bless one with long life
and wisdom. The blessing of this practice is particularly powerful
in this degeneration time.
