Inner Freedom
The Blissful Path of Vajrayogini ~ Post-Summer Festival Retreat with Guest Teacher Tiphaine Perrier
''When the yogini of my own mind, the union beyond intellect, the primordial state of inexpressible emptiness and clarity, the original nature free from arising, ceasing and abiding, recognizes its own entity, may I be forever nourished.'' - Quick Path to Great Bliss
In this post-festival retreat we will be guided into profound meditations on the Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Buddha Vajrayogini, Quick Path to Great Bliss, based on the instructions received in this year’s NKT-IKBU International Summer Festival. This is a precious opportunity to immerse ourselves in these sublime and meaningful meditations. Through taking these meditations and insights deep into our heart, we can integrate them into our daily life, thereby transforming every moment of our life into the blissful path to permanent inner freedom.
Please note: This is not a drop in retreat. You must have previously received the blessing empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini (or have the sincere wish to receive them at the soonest opportunity) in order to engage in this retreat. For further information and to apply, please email [email protected].
