Purifying negativities through the practice of Vajrasattva
The Buddha taught many methods of purification for the purpose of realising the ground of our true nature. Vajrasattva is one of the most well known, applied and powerful methods used in Buddhism across lineages. Vajrasattva practice allows you to uncover the reality of your Buddha nature which is hidden as a result of our defilements created by attachment, aggression and delusion.
This 2 day course will guide participants through a range of topics and practical methods for the application of purification practice :
- The obscurations to the realisation of suchness and what needs to be purified
- Establishing the view and approach to the purification method
- The visualisation and stages of the practice
- The mantra and its meanings
- Purification approaches
In this 2 week course, Sat 5th April & Sat 12th April 10am-3pm – we will cover the essential aspects of Vajrasattva purification according to the Kalachakra path.
At the end of this course – you should have an understanding of the essential components of Vajrasattva and be able to practice on your own.
