About this Event

COURSE INFO

The Yoga of Buddha Heruka – Special online meditation retreat with Gen Kelsang Thekchen

Heruka is an enlightened Deity of Highest Yoga Tantra who is the manifestation of the compassion of all the Buddhas. In particular, engaging in the practice of Heruka body mandala, according to the instructions of the Ganden Oral Lineage of Je Tsongkhapa, is the supreme quick path to enlightenment. Following these precious instructions, we should practice Heruka body mandala in conjunction with the ritual prayer called The Yoga of Buddha Heruka. This practice is simple but very profound.

Gen Thekchen will give commentary and guide mediations on this condensed Heruka practice based on Venerable Gesehe Kelsang Gyatso’s instructions in Modern Buddhism.

COURSE LEVEL

This retreat is only for people who have a Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerment ( Heruka & Vajrayogini ) or for people who have the intention to receive this empowerment at the international Summer or Fall Festival in 2021.
