International Kadampa Fall Festival 2024

Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini and Commentary, with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong

Normally, as times become spiritually more degenerate it takes longer for practitioners to receive the blessings of Tantric Deities. For the Tantric Deities of Heruka and Vajrayogini, the opposite is the case! Due to our special connection with them, we can receive their blessings and special care more quickly, and through this more easily attain spiritual realizations and enlightenment.

At this year’s Fall Festival, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, the General Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition, will grant the empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini and introduce their essential practices. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity!
