“Khung Mar, the Red Garuda, is a Wisdom protector manifestation of pure awareness. One of the most important Bon deities, Red Garuda represents the fiery power of energy. This deity protects against obstacles of the outer, the inner, and the secret. He transforms the five poisons, and liberates sentient beings from suffering. The Red Garuda healing practice is highly effective physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Geshe Kunchap will offer a very powerful teaching instruction on the transformative practices of the Red Garuda in this series of workshops.
