The Blissful Path: Vajrayogini retreat

In his Sutra teachings, Buddha gives us great encouragement to accomplish the ultimate goal of human life. This goal will be accomplished quickly through the practice of Tantra. Tantra … is a special method to purify our world, our self, our enjoyments and our activities; and if we put this method into practice we will very quickly attain enlightenment. ~ Modern Buddhism, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Those who have received Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment are invited to attend this special retreat on the practice of Vajrayogini led by Gen Dorje. He will guide essential meditations of generation and completion stage to deepen our experience and appreciation of the magic of this extraordinary and transformative practice. The weekend will be based on the sadhana Blissful Path and will include teachings, meditations, and Offering to the Spiritual Guide puja.

This retreat is reserved for those who have received Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerment (HYT) or those who have a sincere intention to receive an HYT Empowerment in the future.
