The essence of Tantric practice is to completely purify our mind, so that our world, ourself, our enjoyments and our activities also become pure and we attain the state of enlightenment. The practices include creative yogas that use correct imagination and wisdom to generate ourself as an enlightened Deity, as well as completion stage meditations that enable us to make this goal a reality.

On this short post-festival retreat, Gen Kelsang Dornying will guide us through the main meditations of the Highest Yoga Tantra, allowing us to contemplate and meditate on the meaning of the teachings we have just received at the festival and focusing on the practice of Buddha Heruka.

“In his Sutra teachings Buddha gives us great encouragement to accomplish the ultimate goal of human life. This goal will be accomplished quickly through the practice of Tantra.”
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
