Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerments and Commentary to the Practices of Heruka Body Mandala and Vajrayogini

Toronto, Canada   7 – 13 October

with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab

This year’s Fall Festival will be the first time since 2003, when Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche granted the empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini, that the international Kadampa community will gather together in Toronto.

Indeed, it will be the first time since 2003 that these empowerments have been granted anywhere within the North American continent. A very precious event for the Canadian, North American, and international Kadampa community.

Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab is a retired General Spiritual Director, and Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada.  He is deeply respected throughout the Kadampa world as a sincere practitioner and powerful teacher.

Toronto is Canada’s largest city and is renowned for its culture and diversity. It is considered one of the most easily accessible cities in North America, with extensive airline routes to/from Pearson International Airport linking both the US and international destinations.
