The Blessings of Vajrayogini
The Temple has been completely transformed overnight in preparation for the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment of Vajrayogini. A stunning new metal statue of Vajrayogini rises majestically from within the empowerment shrine. So large that she can be seen throughout the Temple, she is surrounded by a glorious riot of red, pink, and purple flowers and offerings.

Limitless Benefits
Vajrayogini Empowerment
Vajrayogini is the manifestation of the wisdom of all Buddhas, and Gen-la Jampa helps us appreciate the limitless benefits of receiving her empowerment, relying on her, and engaging in Vajrayogini Tantra. Through this practice, we can receive great and powerful blessings, progress quickly in our Tantric practice, and attain realizations swiftly with relative ease and simplicity.
He then guides us through the empowerment, with its many meaningful stages that help us generate the right motivation, renew our vows, and receive Vajrayogini's blessings upon our body, speech, and mind as we enter her mandala.
There is something so powerful about more than 3,000 people concentrating together and sharing such a meaningful experience. The ordinary external world recedes, and a pure inner world arises, giving great hope for the future. Through the empowerment, many potentials are ripened, and seeds are planted for future practice.
Joyful
Feeling blessed
The joyous feeling continues as people leave the empowerment feeling blessed and truly empowered. For some, it is the beginning of their Tantric journey, inspiring them to learn more and begin their daily practice. For others, it brings renewed enthusiasm to go deeper.
Across the Festival site, Sangha meetups are taking place as people discuss, share, and support one another. Teachers meet with their students to answer questions, while others visit the shop to find items that support their Tantric practice.
Question & Answer Session
with Gen-la Khyenrab
We enjoyed a very helpful and engaging Q&A session with Gen-la Khyenrab. A wide range of questions gave rise to practical, insightful, and inspiring answers, delivered with warmth, clarity, and Gen-la's characteristic sense of humor.
