GIVEN BY HIS HOLINESS THE 42nd SAKYA TRIZIN
His Holiness Gongma Rinpoche, the 42nd Sakya Trizin, will be giving the initiation of  GreenTara.  Green Tara is a female Buddha.  She is the protector of all sentient beings.  Her green colour shows that she also protects the environment.  She represents non-violence.  She eliminates and saves us from all obstacles to our spiritual practice.  She protects from all fears.  She can grant a long, happy life, business success and fertility.

This initiation comes from the tradition of Atisha.  It may also be received as a blessing without a commitment to a daily practice.
