Hayes  \nThe transformation that occurs when the afflictive emotions are subdued with sharp discriminating awareness is the arising of the wrathful deities…The wrathful deities are infuriated with compassion. They are not angry. They are like a mother taming a mischievous child…Their compassion is even more intense than the compassion of peaceful deities.\n– H. E. Garchen Rinpoche \nSchedule:\nFriday February 14 : Vajrasattva Empowerment\n‌7:00 – 9pm‌ \nVajrasattva is the Buddha of Purification. He embodies the wisdom of the five Dhyani buddhas and our own kind gurus. Vajrakilaya is his wrathful emanation. The practice of Vajrasattva and 100\,000 recitations of his 100-syllable mantra is one of our four foundation practices.  The 100 syllables of his mantra encompass the heart syllables of the 100 Peaceful & Wrathful Deities and the practice of Vajrasattva enables the realization of our full spiritual potential by purifying our negative karma.   \nVajrasattva is radiant white in color. His right hand holds a dorje (or vajra) at his heart which symbolizes his skillful means and compassion. His left holds a bell at his hip signifying wisdom. Together\, they symbolize the union of wisdom and compassion. \n‌Sa‌tur‌day February 15 \n‌9:3‌0am – 12‌pm‌  Khenpo Samdup teaches and guides us through this morning’s Vajrakilaya practice. \n‌12‌pm – 1:‌30p‌m‌    Lunch is provided for all! \n‌1:‌30 – 4:30pm‌ \n‌Su‌nd‌ay February 16 \n9:30am – 1‌2pm    Khenpo Samdup and An-shu Stephen K.

SUMMARY:Understand Your Own True Nature: Vajrayogini
DESCRIPTION:Understand Your Own True Nature: Vajrayogini\nThe practice of Vajrayogini is a profound\, powerful means to achieve a deeper understanding of the true nature of phenomena. Her unique appearance\, ornaments and implements symbolize various aspects of achieving the wisdom mind\, including cutting through afflictive emotions and discursive thoughts as we gain insight into our ultimate nature.   \nVajrayogini represents the wisdom nature of mind and she appears in many forms\, including Achi Chokyi Drolma\, our tradition’s protectress. Her practice is taught to be a quick method of attaining enlightenment for the benefit of others. Achi Chokyi Drolma is the protectoress of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and grandmother of its founder\, Lord Jigten Sumgon. Her birth was prophesized in the Chakrasamvara tantra which stated\, “The head of the Karma Dakinis will come to the area of Tidro cave in Drikung. This will be a Nirmanakaya manifestation of Vajrayogini.” She vowed to protect the teachings of the Buddha and swiftly accomplishes the removal of obstacles for practitioners.  \nKhenpo Samdup Rinpoche will be offering teachings and practice instructions for this popular tantric practice that is one of the principal practices to be completed during 3-year retreats. \nSchedule \nFriday\, March 29\, 7:00 – 9:00pm\nAchi Chokyi Drolma Empowerment\nSaturday\, March 30\, 10:00-noon  Lunch 12:00-1:30*\, 1:30-4:30pm\nVajrayogini Teachings & Practice\nSunday\, March 31\, 10:00-noon  Lunch 12:00-1:30*\, 1:30-4:30pm\nVajrayogini Teachings & Practice\n*Lunch is included and will be served in the lower level.
