Vajrayoghini Practice

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. In the course of centuries many high lamas, yogis and accomplished Mahasiddhas have explained that the tantra of Vajrayogini is an excellent antidote against the damages brought about by an excess of avidity and greed. Furthermore they stated that with the increasing levels of the moral and energetic degeneration of the planet, the Vajrayogini Tantra would have also acquired an increasingly greater power and that the realisations brought about by it’s practice can lead to Enlightenment in a single lifetime. This practice is particularly indicated for those who are consumed by desire; it is very simple although it contains the essence of all the tantras. Practicing with sincerity, it can help resolve desperate situations and lead quickly to the Pureland of the Dakinis and to the Clear Light of Bliss.

The text “The Quick Path to Great Bliss, the uncommon sadhana of Venerable Naro Kachö Vajrayoginī” composed by Kyabje Pabongkha Dechen Nyingpo will be recited.

Silent Insight Vipassana Meditation Retreat
Strengthening our capacity of a clear and focused attention

This silent retreat will offer instructions on mindfulness meditation in the four postures, dhamma talks, inquiry sessions and interviews with the teacher.

INTRODUCTION

Sitting together for a retreat is a precious and wonderful opportunity. With joyful anticipation we look forward to your possible presence at this retreat guided by the Samatha-Vipassana Teacher Bhante Anuruddha.
This Samatha-Vipassana retreat will be for experienced students and new yogies.
We will begin working, with some Anapana sati teachings and practice, for strengthening our capacity of a clear and focused attention. We will then move into Vipassana/Insight teachings and practices based on the four domains/foundations of mindfulness, through a general overview of the teachings, and we will engage in the practice with this perspective…along with some specific mindfulness based insight teachings and practices that will be offered along the way.

In the sequent days we will bring our attention back to the Anapanasati practice to continue strengthening and deepening our capacity for a clear and focused attention until it appears in our ongoing body/mind/heart continuum.
During the retreat we will observe the five precepts of a lay practitioner. Those who would like to explore the practice by observing the eight precepts are also very welcome. Together we will have daily evening Dhamma Talks, Dhamma contemplation and/or guided session as well as shorter morning reflections and/or practice instructions (mostly in the morning during the after-breakfast group session). Students are requested to attend all the scheduled group sessions. Bhante Anuruddha offers one-on-one practice meetings every two days for each student. Some students may choose to sit more independently some times. This option can be discussed with the teacher during the practice meetings.

In accordance with the tradition, the teachings are offered freely on a Dana (donation) basis.
