Discovering Your Pure Self: The Yoga of Buddha Heruka
At Heruka Kadampa Meditation Centre, Golders Green
With Guest Teacher, Buddhist Nun Gen Kelsang Devi
Following on from the NKT-IKBU International Summer Festival at Manjushri KMC in Cumbria, Gen Kelsang Devi will lead a retreat based on the teachings and commentaries received at this Festival at Heruka KMC.
On this special retreat you will learn everything you need for a qualified Tantric practice, the supreme quick path to enlightenment, and in this way begin getting to know your pure self. Gen Devi will teach and guide meditations on the Heruka body mandala within the short, condensed practice called The Yoga of Buddha Heruka.
"The emptiness that is explained in Buddha’s Sutra teachings,
And the great bliss that is explained in Buddha’s Tantric teachings –
The union of these two is the very essence of Buddha’s eighty-four thousand teachings.
May the doctrine of Conqueror Losang Dragpa flourish for evermore."
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
This retreat is for those who have previously received the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini.
