Shambhala Online, Advanced Studies: Yeshe Tsogyal Sadhana: Transmission and Guided Practice

 Important information: This session is included in the course Yeshe Tsogyal: Illuminating the Path of Awakening, but can also be taken on its own–only if you are a vajrayana practitioner with experience with other sadhana practices. 

Anyone with a strong Mahayana foundation and inspiration to connect to Yeshe Tsogyal can attend the lung, as long as they register for and participate in the “Yeshe Tsogyal: Illuminating the Path of Awakening” course to receive the relevant background knowledge and context.

Join us to practice a special sadhana (liturgy) invoking Yeshe Tsogyal, the foremost Tibetan yogini and female master who played a founding role for Buddhism in Tibet. This is a special offering for Vajrayana students to receive the lung, or reading transmission, for the practice, “The Brilliant Light of the Blessings of Great Bliss: A Guru Yoga based on Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal” by Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

The lung, or reading transmission, for the practice will be given by Sean Price, translator for Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche. This will be followed by a practice session guided by Holly Gayley. We will go through the practice section by section with brief explanations of the visualization, terminology, and phases of the sadhana.

A “lung” is the oral transmission of a practice from an authorized person. Essentially, the practice text is read out to people who wish to receive it and this empowers them to engage in the practice. Lungs have been a traditional way of passing on practices in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for hundreds of years.

Once you receive the lung, you will be authorized to practice the text going forward. We will screen share the liturgy for practice together in English. Participants will later receive the materials to be able to do the practice on their own.
