Even if someone has already been born in the lower realms, if you do Kunrig practice or puja, they will be liberated from the lower realms. There is a story that when a deva died and was born in one of the hell realms, King Indra didn't know what to do, so he asked Buddha for help. Buddha then manifested as this deity Kunrig and granted the practice of the Kunrig jang-wa. The deva was then liberated from the lower realms. Sarwabid Vairochana belongs to Yoga Tantra class. Commitments: NO COMMITMENT Medicine Buddha Empowerment The Medicine Buddha has special power of healing. One can recite Medicine Buddha’s name or mantra to obtain special healing blessings. For centuries, Buddhists have been reciting his mantra prayers to bring ultimate healing of spiritual disease, as well as for cures everyday problems of the body and mind. Medicine Buddha belongs to Action Tantra class. Commitments: NO COMMITMENT. Venerable Choden Rinpoche was born in 1933 in Tibet. Rinpoche was recognized at age of three as an important incarnate lama. Rinpoche completed all his studies at Sera Je Monastery. When the Communist Chinese invaded Tibet, Choden Rinpoche was arrested and jailed for several months. After his release, he went into solitary retreat for twenty years in a tiny, dark room in Lhasa until he was allowed to leave for India in 1985. Choden Rinpoche is regarded as one of the great masters and has taught worldwide, guiding and inspiring many students.
