Vajrayogini [Tummo] Practice Empowerment and Retreat with Venerable Drupon Thinley Ningpo and special guest, Amchi Konchok Karma
Friday, April 27th – Sunday, April 29th, 2018
| Tummo is the foundation of the 6 Yogas of Naropa. It focuses on controlling the bodies’ energies and transforming them into bliss, often referred to as “inner heat.” The purpose of Tummo, a completion stage yoga practice, is to gain control over the subtle body winds, channels and drops, thus furthering one’s goal of achieving enlightenment. While previous dharma training helps, this retreat is open to everyone.
Drupon Thinley Ningpo will instruct us in the practice of Tummo (a completion stage practice) using Vajrayogini as a support. Vajrayogini is a female Buddha who embodies one’s innermost essence and is associated with the mother tantras of anuttarayoga tantra.
