The month of January is a special month in the Kadampa calendar during which we emphasize the practices of Heruka and Vajrayogini, the principal Highest Yoga Tantra Deities of modern Kadampa Buddhism. Today, the tenth day of the month, is Vajrayogini Day.
As January begins, centers across the globe are offering both long and short retreats for those seeking spiritual nourishment. Regardless of location, people are placing emphasis on refreshing and uplifting their minds, and enriching their spiritual lives.
Wisdom of emptiness and purification inspired participants in some end-of-the-year retreats to start the year with physical and mental lightness, accompanied by inner peace. See the best moments of these retreats!
At the end of the year many of us think about making changes in our life. For those attending the end-of-the-year events at Kadampa Centers around the world, there was focus on a transition into a better future filled with more positivity and wisdom. Three special events took place in the USA: Mind of All Yogas at KMC New York, Energy of Life at KMC Phoenix, and The Power of Intention at KMC Tampa Bay.
