This is the beginning of a series of classes designed to help you understand Tantric meditation and increase your motivation to practice Tantra, the quick path to enlightenment.
Whether you’re thinking about receiving Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments for the first time or have already received them but have an inconsistent practice, this is the course for you! Sometimes people don’t connect to a practice because they just didn’t understand it or misunderstand it. This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience.
Arya Tara is a female Buddha who is the manifestation of the wind element of all the Buddhas. Because of this, if we rely upon Tara with strong faith she is swift like the wind in protecting us from all fears and dangers, granting us her blessings and fulfilling all our wishes. We particularly need her help in these difficult times.
The purpose of doing ‘powa’, or transference of consciousness, is to lead countless deceased beings to the Pure Land of a Buddha.
Heart Jewel Prayers to Je Tsongkhapa and Dorje Shugden are the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism and many Kadampas do these prayers as part of their daily practice. Therefore we are offering the prayers here for you to use at your convenience (just click play on the video below).
When asked recently how we can best help the world at this time, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche advised us to pray to Tara.
Traditionally in the Kadampa tradition, we chant “Liberation from Sorrow” (Green Tara Prayers) on the 8th of each month.
We are offering these prayers for you to watch on the 8th or any time you want to pray for your welfare or the welfare of others.
