Vajrayogini POWA Retreat

(All times are Pacific Daylight Time)

Registration Deadline: October 8, 2024

In times of conflict and complexity, when turbulence and impermanence are prominent, Vajrayogini practice offers an excellent and auspicious refuge. It is said, “Even if your heart moves an inch toward the Queen of Dakinis, Vajrayogini, and longs to enter her paradise in this degenerate time, you are called a fortunate and auspicious one!”

INVITATION

Carried secretly and authentically from masters to disciples, Vajrayogini practice has been upheld by the realized masters in the Ear-Whispered Lineage like a river, uninterrupted and unified. Now, Chöying Khandro offers 2024 VAJRAYOGINI ONLINE RETREAT - including Empowerment, Transmissions, Commentary, and Guidance for Practice, the same way as the past masters have passed down.

Khandro-la invites those who are ready to embark on the path of the Highest Yoga Tantra, with Vajrayogini as your essence Yidam. For the benefit of all mother-sentient beings, your pursuit of awakening in this lifetime is blessed.

At Home - Before the Empowerment

Prepare your body, speech and mind for this empowerment, especially pure motivation. Purify one’s mouth and body in whatever way, such as rinsing the mouth, or having a shower and wearing clean clothes. Traditionally, blessed saffron water is used to purify oneself before entering the room where you will receive Empowerment.
