Being Buddha Heruka*

A Half-day Retreat with Special Guest Kadam Lucy

For as long as we impute ourselves on, or identify with, a samsaric body and mind, thinking “this is me”, we have no choice but to inhabit all the sufferings thrown up by a meaty body and a deluded mind. However, through practicing Heruka Tantra based on wisdom and compassion, we learn to identify ourselves — far more accurately — with our pure essential nature and highest potential. This radically transforms the narrative of our lives, quickly leading us not to the usual sickness, aging, and death but to the bliss of enlightenment. Join us for this half-day retreat with special guest teacher, Kadam Lucy. During this two-session retreat, Kadam Lucy will guide us in training in the divine pride and clear appearance of being Buddha Heruka, and give instruction on the practices of Guru yoga and training in the union of the two truths.
