Highest Yoga Tantra Commentary and Practice

Highest Yoga Tantra Commentary with Geshe Sonam Ngodrup

Participation in these Vajrayana teachings with Geshe Sonam Ngodrup requires a full (usually 2 or more days) empowerment into a deity practice of Highest Yoga Tantra such as Cakrasaṃvara, Vajrayoginī, Yamāntaka, Kālacakra, or Guhyasamāja; regardless of lineage.

While all students with a highest yoga tantra initiation are permitted to attend the commentaries on Six Session Guru Yoga, Heruka Cakrasaṃvara, and Vajrayoginī, it should be understood that only those with an initiation into Cakrasaṃvara (such as the Ghantapa Five Deity or Body Mandala, the Luipa 62 Deity, or the Khrsnacharya  lineages) are permitted to fully engage in these various sadhanas respectivly, to practice the self-generateation as Cakrasaṃvara. Similarly, only those with an initiation into the Naro Vajrayoginī, are permitted to engage in the sadhana and practice the self-generation as Vajrayoginī.

Although Geshe la will present the commentaries as a dharma friend wishing to aid students in understanding the teachings and does not require a vajra guru-disciple relationship, he does request that students maintain a deep and stable respect and faith for the profound Vajrayāna teachings, and prevent themselves from holding wrong views.

Please note: Whereas attending the commentaries is open to everyone with a full highest yoga tantra empowerment, and this also applies to the Six Session Guru Yoga practice session, the Heruka-Cakrasaṃvara and Vajrayoginī practice sessions are only for those who have received these specific empowerments respectively.
