Retreat of Vajrayogini: the Sky Dance of Great Bliss<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0Buddha 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\u2019s practice can lead to Enlightenment in a single lifetime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions for the Vajrayogini retreat<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

To do the retreat you must have already received in the past the Vajrayogini empowerment.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lama Michel Rinpoche will make a personal Vajrayogini retreat in Albagnano during the same period. His practice will energetically support the retreat even if he will not be physically present.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mobile phones are not allowed in the meditation hall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who wish to participate only in some sessions and\/or only for a few days can do so in the Tara Gompa following the sessions via live video transmission from the meditation hall. In this case, there is no obligation to complete the 100,000 mantras in the period.<\/span><\/p>\n
