Sadhana practice is a profound skillful means, transmitting an entire universe of vajrayana principles. Over the course of nine monthly discussions, divided into three parts, we discuss how to practice Vajrayogini as expressions of these principles.
Part One, which took place over three sessions in September, October, and November, 2019, focused on the view and practice of mahamudra and the three samadhis; coemergent wisdom and luminosity-emptiness; and the Four Immeasurables and tonglen.
Part Two (December 2019), addresses guru yoga and the four empowerments; the four karmas; and the nadi prana and bindu yoga of chandali.
This course, Part Three (March – May 2020) explores the practical expression of the five buddha principles; peaceful practices such as Manjushri and Tara; and semi-wrathful practices such as Chakrasamvara and Vajrakilaya.
