“As times become ever more impure we will receive the blessings and special care of Heruka and Vajrayogini more quickly, and through this we will attain realizations easily and quickly.” - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
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 and Vajrayogini we receive powerful blessings from these Buddhas that frees us from all obstacles to our spiritual practice and enables us to attain profound spiritual realizations quickly.
In this special retreat, Buddhist monk, Gen Kelsang Tabkay, will give teachings and guide meditations on the Yoga of Buddha Heruka sadhana. By engaging in these meditations, we can receive the powerful blessings of all Buddhas through our Spiritual Guide, Guru Heruka.
