Feast of Great Bliss — Vajrayogini Self Initiation
Saturday, September 20th | 1:30 pm – 6 pm
Vajrayogini Self-Initiation practice renews and strengthens our Bodhisattva and Tantric vows and purifies negativities, including Tantric downfalls.
Self Initiation is open only to those who have Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerments.
If you have done a counting retreat, the purpose of this practice is to renew and strengthen our Tantric vows and commitments and purify our negativities, including our Tantric downfalls.
If you have not done a counting retreat, participating in these prayers is very blessed and creates the causes for you to do a counting retreat in the future. There will be instructions on which prayers and ritual you should not participate in. You can stay in the room through all the prayers.
Please arrive a little early to set yourself up.
