Akshobhya
Following many requests, Tana Dungsey Rinpoche, the head of the Yelpa Kagyu and Hungkara lineages in Tibetan Buddhism, has agreed to provide teachings and the Akshobhya empowerment on June 20th. Join us in this special purification ritual.
Since ancient times Buddhists have performed the Akshobhya empowerment ritual to release the karma that feeds negative habitual patterns. In the Mahayana tradition, Akshobhya is a bodhisattva who has empowered practitioners and unburdened them of negative karma for thousands of years. In Vajrayana Buddhism, Buddha Akshobhya – immutable with vajra-like precision – presides over the Vajra buddha family.
An Akshobhya empowerment is a precious opportunity that is not often bestowed. This empowerment couldn’t be timelier as a spiritual aid to burn up the obstacles that make it difficult to drop negative karma over lifetimes.

DATE: Saturday, June 20, 2026, 9am-1pm, Boulder Shambhala Center, Boulder, Colorado
In person Only.
COST: There will be a $30 registration fee (scholarships are available). Two monks will be coming from New York to help Rinpoche make the preparations for the empowerment. At the end of the ceremony you will also have an opportunity to offer dana to them. Please bring an envelope for each of these dana offerings.
“In our worldly life and in our spiritual path, there are always obstacles. For karmic obstacles, there is no remedy like Akshobhya.
Rinpoche bestowed this same empowerment on his mother, herself an advanced dakini practitioner, many times, which shows how important it is to him.
I am eager to go. It is so important, that I will bring my 93 year old mother!
I am so glad the sangha will receive this!”
