Karmic Purification: Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment & Practice

Join us for a daylong extraordinary teaching with Khentrul Rinpoche, who has kindly agreed to bestow the Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment to support all practitioners wishing to do purification practice, and in particular those working with the Kalachakra Ngondro. You can practice any Vajrasattva purification practice after receiving this empowerment although this specific form is semi-wrathful and connected to the Kalachakra preliminaries. 

10:00 AM– Session 1: Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment & Oral Transmission  

1:00 PM – Session 2: Chakra Purification Mantra Meditation 

3:00 PM – Session 3: Teachings on Karma & Purification Practices

“Vajrasattva practice allows you to uncover the reality of your Buddha-nature, which is currently hidden as a result of defilements created by attachment, aggression and delusion. Our current situation is like a dirty piece of glass. This practice provides you with a powerful method to wash away the dirt while being confident that underneath there is crystal clear glass which is completely pure and unstained. Through the practice of Vajrasattva, this confidence will steadily grow as you come closer and closer to discovering the innate purity of your most profound nature.” (Khentrul Rinpoche)

Session 1: Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment & Oral Transmission 

Session 2: Chakra Purifying Guided Meditation

In this guided meditation vajrasattva practice we are both cleansing our view and our karmas. This guided mantra practice will help you cleanse your subtle body which is a sacred spiritual mandala. This is not an instant cleansing of all your chakras. This is not a new age practice. This is an introduction to a practice that disciples can spend months or years doing. 

Session 3: Kalachakra Practice
This practice is done in the Jonang Kalachakra Ngondro for purification. If you are studying and practicing this Ngondro, this is highly recommended. 

WHO CAN ATTEND
There are no formal prerequisites. Previous Buddhist study and practice are very helpful but not required. Like all vajrayana practices you are taking refuge, bodhisattva vows and forming Samaya with the teacher.
