#The Precious Empowerment of the Rainbow Light Transformation Practice
Because Empowerment of the Rainbow Transformation Practice is so precious, Zhongguan Chapter will design a precious khata of Rainbow Light Transformation Practice as a gift for all attending disciples and devotees.
Disciples supplicate Lineage Root Guru HH Living Buddha Lian-sheng with utmost sincerity for empowerment of the debut transmission of the Rainbow Light Transformation Practice, and pray for Grandmaster’s guidance to receive the supreme wisdom of the Great Perfection.
In this wonderful, precious, and rarely bestowed Rainbow Light Transformation Practice, each segment of the sadhana and empowerment will be meticulously arranged so that disciples will obtain the most perfect Dharma joy. We thank disciples for their support. Details will be grandly published at a later date, so we are asking everyone to wait patiently.
Following the norm of Grandmaster’s return, there will be no presentation of khatas, and no crown blessings by Grandmaster.
