HYT empowerments required to attend.
Recognizing its superiority over the body mandala practices of other Deities, many highly realized practitioners have praised the profound body mandala practice of Vajrayogini. It is an especially powerful method for blessing our channels, drops and winds. Through such blessings our inner winds will gather and dissolve within the central channel at our heart, and this will cause us to experience the clear light of bliss, the actual quick path leading to Buddhahood.
This retreat is for those who have been granted an empowerment of Highest Yoga Tantra. Please bring your Quick Path to Great Bliss prayer booklet, tantric instruments and mandala kits.
