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 Heruka Cakrasaṃvara, Vajrayoginī, Vajra Bhairava; it should be understood that only those who have received an initiation to a specific diety are permitted to actually practice the self-generation of that specific deity. Six Session Guru Yoga can (and traditionally should) be practiced by anyone who as recieved any hightest yoga tantra practice in the Gelug lineage.
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.
Practice Series with Paula Chichester
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 empowerment in the Gelugpa lineage, respectively.
