PROTECTOR DORJE SHUGDEN’S INITIATION
In Tibetan Buddhism, a kangso is performed to invite the blessings of the Dharma Protectors. ‘Kang‘ means ‘to fulfil’ and ‘so’ means ‘to offer’, hence a kangso is also known as a fulfilment ritual.
We engage in a kangso to invite the Dharma Protector into our presence, to make sincere requests and offerings, as well as to confess our negative conduct and misdeeds that destroy the very causes of our Enlightenment. In return, the Dharma Protector, through his promise of protecting practitioners on the path of Dharma, sets out to fulfil our wishes and aid our spiritual practice.
The female deity Arya Tara, called Jetsün Dolma in Tibetan, is one of the main objects of devotional worship and meditative practice in Vajrayana Buddhism. She is a fully-enlightened buddha who dispels fears, overcomes negative emotions, and develops in us strong feelings of joy and happiness. She assumes 21 forms, some peaceful, some semi-wrathful, and some wrathful, addressing particular situations in our lives. Her compassion is boundless, and those who meditate on Tara are likewise imbued with compassion for all sentient beings.
The practice of Tsog Offering or Guru Puja is done on every 10th lunar calendar. It is a commitment for those practicing tantra to restore and reaffirm their vows and pledges. However, anyone and everyone is welcome to attend this ritual of making extensive offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, accumulating the positive energy needed to progress along the spiritual path.
The Medicine Buddha ritual practice is a profound Mahayana Buddhist healing meditation aimed at addressing physical, mental, and emotional ailments while purifying karmic causes of suffering.

Key Elements of the Practice:
1. Visualization:

• Healing light and nectar are imagined radiating from the Buddha, purifying illness and suffering for oneself or others.

The Thirty-Five Buddhas Confession and Purification Practice is a Mahayana Buddhist ritual aimed at purifying negative karma and ethical transgressions.
