The Supreme Path to Enlightenment
Week 1 – Teachings on Kadam Lamrim-The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment
with Gen-la Kelsang Sangden
The Lamrim instructions form the main body of Buddha’s teachings. By integrating these instructions into our daily life, we can learn how to control our mind and always keep a good motivation in our heart. This will make all our daily actions pure and meaningful and, as we experience increasingly more peaceful states of mind, we will discover the supreme happiness of enlightenment. This week will also be a perfect preparation for receiving Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments.
Week 2 – Heruka Body Mandala & Vajrayogini Empowerments
with Gen-la Kelsang Jampa
Highest Yoga Tantra is a special method for attaining enlightenment in this one short life. The very essence of Highest Yoga Tantra can be found in the practices of Heruka and Vajrayogini.
Gen-la Kelsang Jampa will grant the Heruka and Vajrayogini empowerments that bestow upon us the special blessings of these Buddhas. He will then give clear and practical teachings on how to enter and make progress on this blissful, quick path to enlightenment – the ultimate goal of our human life.
