2026 Marichi Empowerment

This event is available both Online and In-person.

This rare Marichi Tara empowerment is being offered in Hungary as part of the launch of the Shambhala Global Art Tour, a worldwide initiative to awaken understanding of Shambhala—not merely as a mythical realm, but as a living vision of enlightened society and leadership.

At the heart of Shambhala is the principle of the Universal Monarch—leadership rooted in wisdom, compassion, and fearless clarity. In this transmission, we especially highlight the future of enlightened feminine leadership, reminding us that a balanced world requires both awakened masculine and feminine qualities in every leader and practitioner.

Marichi — The 21st Tara

Marichi, the radiant 21st Tara, blazes ahead of the sun. She is the Dharma Protector of Kalapa, the capital of the pure land of Shambhala, and represents the completion stage of Tara practice as taught by Jetsun Taranatha.

Glowing the color of sunset—luminous orange and gold—Marichi heralds the dawning sun of great bliss. Like sunlight itself, her blessings pervade everywhere, dispelling obstacles both seen and unseen.

As a Dharma protector, Marichi:

-Guards practitioners during travel and times of danger
-Creates a cloak of invisibility, blinding harmful forces and obstacles
-Protects sincere devotees and swiftly guides them toward awakening

Across Asia she is revered in many traditions. In Chinese astrology she is known as the Mother of the Big Dipper, goddess of astrology and all nine planets. In Japan, samurai warriors invoked her for her power of invisibility and protection in battle.

Khentrul Rinpoche’s Personal Dharma Protector

This empowerment is offered from that living lineage of faith and direct experience.Marichi has been intimately connected to Khentrul Rinpoche since childhood. While herding yaks as a young boy in Tibet, he relied on her mantra to protect the animals from wolves at night.

“From the moment I relied on Marichi, I never lost a single yak. I developed unshakable faith in her from childhood, and this connection has remained indestructible throughout my life.”
