Vajra Yogini Mandala from Amitabha Temple, Kathmandu
Vajra Yogini, Milarepa and Vajrasattva Empowerments
Vajra Yogini Mandala from Amitabha Temple, Kathmandu
For the first time in North America, Rinpoche will bestow a group of three Phowa-related empowerments: Vajrasattva, Milarepa, and Vajra Yogini. Together with the empowerments of Amitabha, Amitayus, Chenrezig and Vajrapani, which are included as part of his Phowa Course, these three empowerments will enhance the practice of Phowa. Individuals may also take these empowerments simply for their blessing power, or to deepen their own practices of Vajrasattva, Milarepa or Vajra Yogini, as they relate to Ngondro (Preliminary Practice), True Nature of Mind (Dzogchen or Mahamudra), and development and completion stage practices from other Buddhist traditions.
