We are delighted to announce that the 43rd Sakya Trizin, HH Gyana Vajra Rinpoche, will visit the new Casa Virupa headquarters next August. In addition to blessing the center, His Holiness will grant the Chagna Dorje Bhutadhamara and Black Mahakala empowerments, essential practices for connecting with our awakened nature and transcending the obstacles to liberation.

Program

Friday, August 1 | Welcome and blessing (rabbi) of the center

In Tibetan Buddhism, a rabne is a consecration ceremony performed to mark a space—such as a temple, meditation hall, or even a stupa—as a place fully dedicated to spiritual practice . The goal of the rabne is to transform the space symbolically and energetically, making it an environment conducive to calm, introspection, and the cultivation of qualities such as compassion, clarity, and wisdom.

Through traditional rituals, we seek to:

• Purify the environment , leaving behind any negative charge that may have accumulated.
