The practice of Buddha Vajrasattva is a powerful meditation technique of the Indo-Tibetan tradition, used primarily for purifying negative compulsions (negative karma), but sometimes also employed as a method for uniting our mind with its deepest potential (the practice of guru yoga) or manifesting pure vision.
In this 3-day online retreat with Buddhist translator Michael Lobsang Tenpa, we will explore Vajrasattva’s purification practice from the ground up, gradually building our confidence with regards to this profound method.
Starting with a general explanation of visualisation techniques in Buddhism, Tenpa will guide us through the symbolism, logic and benefits of Vajrasattva meditation, through different ways of chanting (or reciting) Vajrasattva’s mantras and praises, and through certain additional techniques that can be used to make the purification process more powerful and joyful.
