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.
During January, Vajrayogini retreats provided an ideal space for participants to deepen their understanding and personal experience of Tantra, applying effort to transform their daily appearances into the spiritual path. Here are some activities organized by centers in Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Germany and France.
