Heruka Body Mandala Half-day Retreat*

Meditation on the Three Bringings

In this half-day retreat we will focus on the very heart of the Generation Stage of Heruka Body Mandala practice, the Three Bringings. The practice of the Three Bringings is both unbelievably profound and mesmerizingly beautiful. It is a wonderful creative and imaginative practice in which we learn to transform our current uncontrolled process of ordinary death, intermediate state and rebirth into the very means for attaining the state of enlightenment as Buddha Heruka. Gaining even just a little experience of this extraordinary practice will empower us in every aspect of our life, and give us an amazing sense of what’s possible for us to accomplish with this precious human life of ours.

Please note: The sadhana that will be used for the retreat is “New Essence of Vajrayana.” This prayer can be found in the back of the second edition of the book by the same name. It is available for download from Tharpa here.

*You must have received the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini to attend this retreat.
