THE BLESSING EMPORWERMENT OF DORJE SHUGDEN
KMC Florida is offering this empowerment:
Dorje Shugden is known as a Dharma Protector, a Buddha who easily pacifies obstacles and gathers all necessary outer and inner conditions for us to take Buddha’s teachings deeply to heart.
The empowerment is a blissful guided meditation that connects us to Dorje Shugden’s enlightened wisdom, giving us great power in our spiritual development.
