Adult Education meditation courses
These regular courses extend over several weeks, and are intended to provide participants with an introduction to the Buddhist view, with the main emphasis on being able to try out a range of meditations, and having the opportunity to engage in lively discussion. Four or five of us participate as leaders, with each person taking it in turns to lead one evening, but with all of us participating in the discussion and questioning that follows. More details on times and bookings are through Adult Education. The funds raised from this course will be put towards the ongoing improvements at Dorje Ling.
Zasep Tulku Rinpoche 2011
Zasep Rinpoche is planning to lead two retreats back-back-to back at Dorje Ling in 2011: a Lam Rim retreat followed by a Vajrayogini retreat with Fire Puja. These dates are tentative. More information will come later.
The following is from Zasep Tulku Rinpoche concerning the prerequisites required for those who wish to attend the Vajrayogini retreat.
- As foundation and preparation for Vajryayogini initiation one has to take Heruka or Yamantaka initiation [Rinpoche will be offering a Heruka empowerment at Dorje Ling to allow those who do not already have the prerequisite empowerments to then participate in the Vajrayogini empowerment and retreat].
- Person has to take Bodhisattva vow and Tantric vows.
- Person has to take Zasep Rinpoche as one’s own Guru and Vajra master and keep Guru Yoga Samayas rest of his or her life.
- One can not take this initiation just as a blessing and lightly.
- There is retreat commitment to do 110,000 Mantra of Vajrayogini ending with fire puja.
