Following the 2006 Guhyasamaja Retreat held at Jamyang Buddhist
Centre in London, we have put together a brief guide on how to hold
your own Guhyasamaja Retreat, based on guidance from H.H. Dalai
Lama. You can find it in the Teachings section of the
Initiates area.
The practice of Guhyasamaja is of particular significance to the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, and also to the Lineage of the Dalai Lamas. It's propagation and practice with correct intention is seen as instrumental to the continued flourishing of Buddhism, the Gelugpa school and the His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whose main aim is to be of as much benefit to as many sentient beings as possible.
This area contains the following:
Texts, images, and audio teachings to develop your understanding and practice. This will include audio downloads of the teachings from the past two years; various sadhana and links to textual resources elsewhere; mandala and deity images from Gyud Mey Tantra College and the Kalachakra Temple of the Namgyal Dratsang to help with visualization.
