Half-Day Course with Gen Kelsang Dragpa

‘It is said that the benefits to be gained from engaging in the practice of Vajrayogini are limitless and that a thousand voices could never fully enumerate them’.
Those with Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments are invited to engage in this Blissful Path course, the very blessed practice of Buddha Vajrayogini.
In each of the two sessions, Gen Dragpa will give some explanation and guide a meditation on a different aspect of the practice. This course is essential for those wanting to deepen their familiarity and understanding of the essence of Vajrayogini Tantra and to further their personal practice.
It will be very helpful to have a copy of The Blissful Path sadhana, which is available in Venerable Geshe-la’s book Modern Buddhism (or Part III of Modern Buddhism ebook). You can download the free e-book here.
