Quick Path to Great Bliss Retreat

Vajrayogini is a female enlightened Deity of Highest Yoga Tantra who is a manifestation of all the Buddhas’ wisdom. By engaging in the Tantric practice of Vajrayogini under the guidance of a qualified Spiritual Guide, sincere practitioners can completely purify their body, speech and mind and attain a state of full enlightenment – the ultimate goal of human life. The practice of Vajrayogini comes from Buddha himself and has been preserved over the centuries by an unbroken lineage of realized practitioners.

“In many respects the practice of Vajrayogini is ideally suited to the present day. By relying upon this practice sincerely, with a good heart and a mind of faith, it is definitely possible to attain full enlightenment; but to accomplish such results we must practice the extensive sadhana regularly.” - Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
