vajrasatta buddhaA meditation practice of purification.

The whole teaching could be summed up as letting go of the unwholesome and cultivating the wholesome in body, speech and mind throughout our life.

We have accumulated countless moments of unmindfulness, moments where intentionally or unintentionally we have caused suffering to another living being either through our speech, our view or our action. Therefore we need a strong method, a skilful means to remove and purify our deeds.

Vajrasatta is the main practice in the tantric tradition for purification.

With the study the one hundred syllable mantra and the chanting of the mantra we come to a state of union with the Diamond Being and realise our true nature, pure from the beginning.

Students can attend for just the first three days or for the entire five days.

All costs include accommodation and course fee. Participants need to bring food to share and dana for the teacher
