What is Chod?

The Australian Institute of Buddhist Learning and Practice is inviting to Australia for a relaxing holiday for two months. In order to benefit the people of Australia, we are requesting Khalkha Rinpoche to give a Chod initiation (in Tibetan: djod nam mkha’ sgo ‘byed, where sgo means “opening the space”).

The reason for this request is to benefit individuals. A person receiving Chod has no need for Powa practice at the time of death. Chod eliminates hindrances (inner, outer and secret hindrances) ultimately benefiting the individual to attain the state of Enlightenment. For that purpose, the AIBLP has requested Khalkha Rinpoche to give the empowerment, and all who are interested are welcome to attend.
