Cittamani Tara Initiation and Public Talk

The Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center successfully organized a major initiation on the threshold of the New Year.
On this occasion, the center respectfully invited His Eminence Kyabje Jhado Rinpoche to bestow the "Cintamani Tara" (Zendmen Dari Ekh) empowerment, granting a rare and precious teaching to the faithful.
The merit accumulated through this supreme dharma activity was dedicated to the 90th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, for his long life and the eternal flourishing of his great dharma deeds.
The Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center aims to promote and introduce the Buddhist religion and cultural heritage of the Mongolians to abroad and to pass it down to future generations.
Thank you to everyone who attended. May blessings prevail.
