Read MoreOn Monday we spend the day entering into Heruka’s mandala, physically entering the beautiful temple, itself a representation of Heruka’s palace, for the two sublime sessions of the Heruka empowerment. Then through the concentration of the empowering Spiritual Guide, the blessings of Venerable Geshe-la and our own pure imagination and intentions we are created as a newly arisen Heruka Body Mandala.
Today we prepare a pure mind ready to receive the priceless jewel of the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments into our minds. First a morning of guided meditations with Gen Mudita using the the Prayer to the Lord of all Lineages as our preliminary practice and meditating deeply on the verses that help us develop the correct Lamrim motivations of Renunciation and Bodhichitta.
It’s the first full day of Festival, a day to prepare our minds for receiving the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments by contemplating the three principal aspects of the path of lamrim. As Gen-la Dekyong teaches us, lamrim is the essential foundation for our practice of Highest Yoga Tantra to take us quickly to enlightenment.
