The Heart of the Geluk Ear-Whispered Lineage
For the first time at Dakini’s Whisper, we invite you to enter the inner sanctum of the Geluk Ear-Whispered Lineage. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary and witness the growing maturity of our community, Choying Khandro (KL) has accepted the request to bestow a formal commentary on her personal heart-practice: the profound and essential Lama Chöpa (Guru Puja).
Composed by the Mahasiddha 1st Panchen Lama, Losang Chökyi Gyeltsen (1570–1662), this text is far more than a ritual. It is a complete roadmap of the Mahayana and Vajrayana paths condensed into a single, radiant practice.
"
The practice of Guru Puja is the most profound of all paths, for the guru is the source of all realizations." — Traditional Geluk Proverb
⚠️ Important Prerequisite: This practice is restricted to practitioners from all Buddhist schools who hold a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment.
The Intensive Emergence
Across three weekends, we will move beyond mere recitation to explore the profound commentary of this "Main Guru Yoga." Designed to spark a direct realization of the Union of Bliss and Emptiness, this practice is the crown jewel of Highest Yoga Tantra.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner with the required empowerment, this commentary will illuminate the secret instructions whispered from teacher to student for centuries, providing the essential keys to spiritual transformation.
Course Highlights:
The Supreme Guru Yoga: Understand why this is the "main" Guru Yoga according to Highest Yoga Tantra.
Mahayana Integration: Discover how the text synthesizes the Lamrim (Graduated Path) and Lojong (Mind Training) with advanced tantric technology.
The Union of Bliss and Emptiness: Explore the subtle energy body and the ultimate nature of reality through unique visualizations.
The Secret Path: Take a deep dive into the specific lineage instructions that make this the "quick path" to Buddhahood.
Connect to Lineage: Align your practice with the specific energy of the Ganden Oral Tradition.
