Please Note:   To attend this teaching, you must have received highest yoga tantra initiation from a qualified teacher.  Please reach out to Geshe Dhargey if you have any questions on the requirements to attend.

OVERVIEW:

Geshe Dhargey will begin a new series of highest yoga tantra teachings, presenting a detailed commentary to this practice text. It will follow the same format as his recently completed teaching on the long sadhana of Solitary Hero Yamantaka, which met every other Thursday for a number of years until Geshe-la was able to complete his commentary. Geshe-la will also incorporate into his teachings a number of existing commentaries by various masters of the lineage, revealing in the process a very wide breath of authoritative insights and advice. A very valuable series of teachings even for the experience practitioner and certainly for beginner practitioners.

The long sadhana of Vajrayogini is an extensive practice system of Highest Yoga Tantra meditations aimed at rapidly achieving enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. It primarily contains the Eleven Yogas of Vajrayogini as taught by the Indian Mahasiddha Naropa. The main components of the long sadhana include:

• Preliminary Practices
• Vajrasattva Meditation
• Guru Yoga
• Mandala and Inner Offering Consecration
• Generation Stage This section includes:
  • Body Mandala
  • Mantra Recitation
• Completion Stage Practices (Implicit in the Yogas)
• Tsog Offering
• Praise and Dedication

The long sadhana is an extremely profound and comprehensive practice. To attend one must have received an initiation/empowerment into one of the Highest Yoga Tantra practices, such as Guhyasamaja, Chakrasamvara, or Yamantaka, followed by receiving the blessing empowerments of Vajrayogini.

The version of the long sadhana to be used for this teaching will be circulated to all approved attendees prior to the start of these teachings.
