His Eminence Sakya Khöndung Avikrita Rinpoche bestowed the initiation of Tsuktor Barwa (in Sanskrit, Ushnishajvala) on July 17, 2019 at Sakya Monastery in Seattle, WA. Many people attended from around the world and the teaching and initiation was simultaneously translated into Chinese.
Tsuktor Barwa was taught by the Buddha in the Manjushri Root Tantra as an exceptionally powerful method for practitioners to clear obstacles, sickness, stress and negativity; and to promote well-being, success and positive qualities. Avikrita Rinpoche bestowed the full initiation from the lineage of the ancient Indian master Abhayakara Gupta.
