Half-Day Course with Gen Kelsang Dragpa
(For Highest Yoga Tantra practitioners Only)
This special practice of the Ganden Oral Lineage combines the Highest Yoga Tantra practices of Heruka body mandala and Vajrayogini, together with the Guru yoga of Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka—Je Tsongkhapa inseparable from our Spiritual Guide, Buddha Shakyamuni, and Heruka.
By meditating on Heruka Body Mandala we receive powerful blessings that free us from all obstacles to our spiritual practice and enable us to attain profound spiritual realizations quickly.
In this half day course Gen Dragpa will give teachings and guide meditations on aspects of the profound tantric practice of Yoga of Buddha Heruka Sadhana. By engaging in these meditations, we can receive the profound blessings of all Buddhas through our Spiritual Guide, Guru Heruka, and follow the quick path to enlightenment.
It will be very helpful to have a copy of Yoga of Buddha Heruka sadhana, which is available in Venerable Geshe-la’s book Modern Buddhism (or Part III of Modern Buddhism ebook). You can download the free ebook here.
