The Empowerment of Krodhi Kali

In September, the much anticipated empowerment of Krodhi Kali was bestowed by HE Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, assisted by Jetsunla, who prepared the liturgy and taught the sangha the sadhana practice.

Members of the shrine team, Kuan Hui Chew and Karen Bowen, prepare fresh
rose petals and rice to be distributed to the assembly during the empowerment.
