Empowerment: Buddha of Compassion
Unity of Chandler
325 N Austin Dr # 4, Chandler, 85226
This Buddha (Chenrezig in Tibetan) pledged to delay Buddhahood until all sentient beings were liberated from suffering. In this era of violence and mental instability, the blessings and protections of Chenrezig help one to become more peaceful and compassionate. The ceremony initiates one into the ancient mantra: OM MANI PADME HUM.

Geshe Phuntsho on the Wisdom of Non-Violence

The real enemies are within: Anger, hatred, desire, jealousy, close-mindedness. They are responsible for wars and conflicts, and pollution on the planet. If we conquer the inner enemy, the external enemies are eliminated. Non-violence is the key to World Peace. The Tibetan people are demonstrating that the peaceful long-term solution is the non -harming of living beings.
