In the Sakyapa tradition, taking the 2-day Wang Chen+ or Major Empowerment (with some exceptions) is an all-important pre-requisite before taking the Jehnang, Chin Lab or Ridteg.
As advice by our Spiritual Patron, our Centre adopted the Annutarayoga Tantra 2-day Major Empowerment as the Wang Chen that precedes all Jehnangs, and Chin Labs (Blessings) in our Centre for newcomers.
As advice, the following Teachers will be our Centre regular preceptors for the 2-day Major Empowerment*:
His Eminence Khondoong Ratna Vajra Sakya Rinpoche
His Eminence Khondoong Gyana Vajra Sakya Rinpoche
His Eminence Kyabje Luding Khenchen Rinpoche
His Eminence Luding Khen Rinpoche
His Eminence Thartse Khen Rinpoche
His Eminence Gongkar Dorje Denpa Rinpoche
His Eminence Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche
Her Eminence Jetsun Chime Luding Rinpoche
+ Please refer to our audio Recordings section for more information on Wang Chen given by His Holiness.
* This list will be updated regularly. Kindly note that the names of other high lamas who are not in the list do not mean that they are not qualified to give Wang Chen elsewhere. Lamas who meet conditions are qualified to give Wang Chen.
