October 23, 10:00 – 12:30 Yamantaka Empowerment,
14:00 – 19:00 Yamantaka teachings

Yamantaka is the wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom embodying the wisdom and knowledge aspect of all buddhas of the ten directions and three times.
Through his enlightened activity, he conquers Yama, the Lord of Death, in overcoming ignorance and dualistic appearances. He is also known as a powerful dharma protector. The wrathful practice of Yamantaka offers a fast method to overcome and dispel obstacles, repel unfavorable circumstances, and protect oneself and others from falling under their sway. This practice also has a great power in bringing about peace in times when the minds of beings are pervaded by ignorance and aggression.


October 24, 16:00 – 18:00 Vajrakilaya Empowerment


October 25 - 28, Vajrakilaya Drubchen




Vajrakilaya (Skt. Vajrakīlaya; Tib. Dorje Phurba) or Vajrakumara (Skt. Vajrakumāra; Tib. Dorje Shönnu) — the wrathful heruka Vajrakilaya is the yidam deity who embodies the enlightened activity of all the buddhas and whose practice is famous for being the most powerful for removing obstacles, destroying the forces hostile to compassion and purifying the spiritual pollution so prevalent in this age.
Drubchen — literally “vast accomplishment,” is a form of intensive group practice that lasts several days 24 hours. So it is said that several days participating in a drupchen can yield the same results as years of solitary retreat.
