Vajrayogini Practice Classes
with Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Chodor
Note: These classes are intended for those who have already received
a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment of Vajrayogini,
or who intend to receive this empowerment in the near future.
These classes offer a precious opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of the profound Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Vajrayogini, with a focus on the two essential stages of practice — the Generation Stage and the Completion Stage. Based on New Guide to Dakini Land by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the classes will explore how these extraordinary meditations enable us to make swift progress along the path to enlightenment.
Each week will include practical teachings along with ample time for meditation practice using the Blissful Path and Dakini Yoga sadhana. In this way, we can develop greater clarity and confidence in the practice, while gradually cultivating a heartfelt experience of Vajrayogini meditation that brings deep and lasting change in daily life.
We also have many books and materials available at our Temple shop to help people deepen their learning and experience through further reading.
Format of the classes:
• An introduction to the class
• An initial settling meditation - root mind meditation (10 minutes)
• A brief prayer to set a good motivation
• A teaching on Vajrayogini practice
• Guided Vajrayogini meditation and practice
• Time for discussion and Q&A
• Optional refreshments and snacks afterwards
