Registration
is now open for His Eminence Ayang Rinpoche's Vajrasattva
Outer, Inner, Secret, and Innermost Secret Empowerment, Teachings and
Practice in Rochester, New York, September 22-25, 2011.
This teaching is a wisdom treasure of Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu, From
the Clear Depths of the Heart Sphere of Vajrasattva.
Traditionally not taught in public, it was given only to those who had
completed Ngondro (the preliminary practices) and maintained a strict
retreat. This Vajrasattva practice is extraordinarily rich and
beautiful, containing highly effective methods to heal ourselves and
others, purify negative karma, and enter into the clear light state.
Ayang Rinpoche has said, "On the
ultimate level, the body, speech, wisdom, qualities and activities of
the Buddhas of the three times are all included in one mandala in
Vajrasattva. The mandalas and mantras of all these Buddhas are also
included in Vajrasattva. The one hundred deities from the Tibetan
Book of the Dead are included in the Five Buddha Families,
and those Five Buddha Families are included in Vajrasattva.”
He describes this Vajrasattva practice as “a complete path
to enlightenment".
