Retreat of Vajrayogini

Retreat of Vajrayogini: The Quick Path to Great Bliss

The practice of Vajrayogini, one of the most important of the Mahanuttara Yoga Tantra, the highest class of Tantra, is considered one of the most powerful of all Buddhist Tantric meditations. Buddha emanated Vajrayogini, a special female enlightened being, 2500 years ago. She is the female counterpart of Heruka, the Lord of the Heroes, and she teaches us how to attain enlightenment through purifying our female essence, our dakini nature. It is an excellent antidote against limitless attachment and greed and the realisations brought about by it’s practice can lead to Enlightenment in a single lifetime. 

Instructions for the Vajrayogini retreat

To do the retreat you must have already received in the past the Vajrayogini empowerment.

Those who wish to participate in the full retreat, in the meditation hall (on the second floor of the Temple), must necessarily attend all three daily sessions for the duration of the retreat.

The retreat will be conducted, in the traditional way, by Geshe Lobsang Puntsok: three daily sessions to be completed on the same meditation seat. In each session the sadhana will be recited together first and then the mantras individually. The retreat is only considered complete when each participant has recited 100,000 mantras.

Mobile phones are not allowed in the meditation hall.
