HHST Yamantaka initiation 2018
Hi all.
Was wondering if anyone had any specifics about the upcoming Yamantaka initiation in Boston this April.
What sort of commitments does HHST typically give? And sort of related to another recent thread; how reconcilable
is receiving this initiation from HHST if one is a Gelug FPMT practitioner? My Lama's suggestion is to seek this initiation
when my mind is ready. I imagine this may be a discussion I need to have with him directly, but I strongly believe that he would not object.
Big Love,
Shaun

Hi- Can anyone advise on what form of Yamantaka this is?
I have reached out to the hosting center to ask, but haven’t heard back.
Thanks!

13 deity? Solitary? Mal Luk?
I know Sakyas maintain many lineages of VajraBhairava......

It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.

Is this at a private house? It looks like one takes the Fichtburg line to Littleton. Can one then get a cab from there to the venue?
Thanks!

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."

It is not a private house, it is a motel. It is very difficult to get their by public transportation, but yes, one could get an cab or an uber.
Re: HHST Yamantaka initiation 2018
Can anyone say more about this ceremony and it's origins? I've heard of something like this before. If we have to purify our own negativities in this life, how is it possible for a master to help the deceased?Vajrayogini Changchog Ceremony to purify the negativities of the deceased to achieve higher rebirth and liberation.

These rites are all based on the Sarvadurgatipariśodana tantra. They involve giving the deceased a kind of abhiśekha.Punya wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 9:43 pmCan anyone say more about this ceremony and it's origins? I've heard of something like this before.

Re: HHST Yamantaka initiation 2018
Thanks Malcolm. Do you know if the deceased person has to be recently deceased ie within the 49 days, and is it possible to request their inclusion without attending the ceremony?

Curious. Wouldn't the vast majority have moved on to a new life and therefore no longer be "deceased".
