Dakini Blessings: Yeshe Tsogyal Quintessential Practice
Private residence, Fort Worth
All buddhas have the same realization, yet the female buddhas or dakinis as they are known, are more effective because they are embodiments of enlightenment's wisdom. There is much to be learned about dakinis, but practically speaking, what we need to know is how to connect with them in order to gain our own realization.
Lama Wangmo will teach about dakinis and provide instruction in a quintessential Yeshe Tsogyal practice written by the great twentieth century master, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. This one-page sadhana will be explained in terms of the three paths of the Nyingma tradition also known as the three inner tantras.
Early Bird: $65 paid in full before July 12; $75 after;
