Festival Diaries

Enjoying with a peaceful heart

NKT-KMC Brazil Festival 24_SarahDay5-5

Today we meet Vajrayogini, with the final Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment. Three hours pass quickly as we are first introduced to Vajrayogini, taking time to appreciate the unique benefits of relying upon her and then we receive the blessings of the four empowerments in her sindhura mandala. The experience of the whole session is like an extensive and extremely peaceful guided meditation as we are initiated into her pure world step by step under the skillful guidance of Gen-la Dekyong.

This feeling of lightness carries over to the question and answer session in the afternoon with Gen Rabten, who skillfully answers people's questions and gives much encouragement for those new to Highest Yoga Tantra. At one point he thanks the Brazilian Sangha for their warm-hearted generosity making us all feel so welcome here, and there is spontaneous applause from this international assembly in appreciation!

Day 5 ~ The Joy of Vajrayogini

This tranquillity carries over into the rest of the day as people bring their peaceful hearts with them while they relax and interact with others. It is a warm and beautiful day and people are enjoying the intense flavor of the chilled açai amazonian fruit bowls among other delights.

The Festival site feels spacious with its wide open views across forests and breezy shady spots. With everyone feeling so blessed and peaceful, there is an open-hearted feeling of joy and fun as people really cherish being with each other and sharing this experience.

As the sun sets dusky-pink along the horizon the Temple glows once more in the darkness, strings of lights illuminate the paths, and it is time for Wishfulfilling Jewel with tsog, with more blessings and more joy!
