His Holiness Sakya Trizin at the Centre July 2007
HEVAJRA and VAJRAYOGINI INITIATIONS
The Sakya Thubten Ling are highly honoured and privileged to host
His Holiness and entourage once again in Bournemouth.
Whilst here His Holiness will be bestowing Vajrayogini initiation.
Vajrayogini belongs to the highest Yoga Tantra (anuttarayoga Tantra )
symbolizing the female tantric aspect of the Buddha embodying the union
of bliss and emptiness. Her practice includes methods for transforming all
mundane daily experiences into higher spiritual paths.
As a prerequisite students will need to have received either Chakrasamvara or Hevajra initiation, so His Holiness will bestow Hevajra initiation beforehand.
Hevajra also belongs to the highest Yoga Tantra teaching the union of
skillful means and profound cognition. According to the Sakya tradition
Hevajra belongs to the sub-class of ‘non-dual’ tantra, the inseparability of
wordly existence (samsara) and enlightenment.
