Vajra Yogini Empowerment and Commentary
Nine days at the Institut Vajra Yogini, a Buddhist centre in a nineteenth-century château in the countryside near Toulouse. Jhado Rinpoche confers the Vajra Yogini empowerment on the opening afternoon and then gives a commentary on the practice over the following week, in morning and afternoon sessions. He teaches in Tibetan with consecutive interpretation into English; French and Spanish translation is carried over FM radio, so bring a radio or a phone with earphones. The empowerment asks for a previous Maha Anuttara Yoga Tantra initiation, though it can also be attended as a blessing, and the commentary is open to those who have received the Vajra Yogini empowerment. Both carry lifelong commitments.
