🌸 Special Invitation: Twenty-One Taras Empowerment 🌸

With Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche

📅 Sunday, 1 November 2026

🕙 10:00 AM Melbourne Time (AEDT)

📍 Dzokden Rimé Institute, Belgrave, Victoria

We warmly invite our local community in the Dandenong Ranges and greater Melbourne to join us in person at the Dzokden Rimé Institute for a precious Twenty-One Taras Empowerment with Khentrul Rinpoche.

Tara is the female Buddha of enlightened compassion and swift activity, beloved for her ability to help beings overcome fears, obstacles, and suffering. Her twenty-one manifestations express different aspects of enlightened wisdom and compassionate activity, helping guide us toward liberation and awakening.

This empowerment takes place during Session 3 of our six-month course, Secrets of Tara, which explores the Twenty-One Taras, their practices, and their profound meanings within the Buddhist tradition.

🌸 A Special Opportunity for Our Local Community

You do not need to enrol in the six-month course to attend this empowerment in person!

We welcome people living near the Rimé Institute to come directly to the temple and receive the empowerment as a standalone event.

🙏 Attendance is by donation, which you can make in person at the Institute on the day.

This special opportunity is for in-person attendees only. Those wishing to attend online or participate in the full six-month course should register through the official Dzokden course page.

🌿 Give yourself an hour.

A Reiki healing session is a simple, non-invasive treatment where the practitioner places their hands gently on or near the body — fully clothed, at your own pace, in a calm and supportive space.

Life has a way of creating tension we don't always notice until it settles deep. Stress, emotional weight, disrupted sleep, a mind that won't quiet down — Reiki works gently with the body's own energy to help ease those knots and restore a natural sense of balance.

Many people leave feeling lighter, calmer and more like themselves.

Sessions are available in person at the Rimé Institute in Belgrave, nestled in the Dandenong Ranges — or as an absent (distance) treatment if you can't make it in.

No experience needed. No particular beliefs required. Just a willingness to rest.
