The Blissful Path: Becoming Vajrayogini

Vajrayogini is an Enlightened Deity who abides effortlessly in a state of love, fearlessness, bliss and wisdom. Through training in faith and correct imagination, we can quickly shed our ordinary appearances and conceptions, adopt her extraordinary good qualities, and profoundly benefit every living being.

During this retreat, we will use the sadhana The Blissful Path, The Condensed Self-Generation Sadhana of Vajrayogini, and learn to learn and deepen our experience of the three bringings, which is the very essence of generation stage Tantra. Through this practice, we let go of ordinary appearance and ordinary conception, and experience the four complete purities of a Buddha. 

Prerequisites

Please note: This in-depth retreat on the self-generation practice of Vajrayogini is designed for those who have already received the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini within the Kadampa Tradition, or who have the sincere wish to receive this empowerment at the next possible opportunity. Both beginners and advanced students with these empowerments are welcome.
