It is a great honor that HE Garchen Rinpoche bestowed the Chakrasamvara Empowerment at Drikung Seattle. The Yidam Chakrasamvara, the deity practiced according to the fivefold path of Mahamudra—the unique “father-dharma” and special teachings of Lord Drigungpa—has been practiced at Gar Monastery since it’s founding. Chakrasamvara is the main deity practice of the Kagyu lineage.

English Translation by Ina Dhargye
Red Chenrezig is also a very special practice connected to Gar Monastery. Red Chenrezig is one of the root terma practices in Gar Monastery. A group of lamas are dedicated to this practice non-stop year round since the establishment of Gar Monastery (except during the Cultural Revolution). In future we hope to hold an annual Red Chenrezig Drubchen at Drikung Seattle.
