Throughout time and space, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have been called to initiate the hearts and minds of their students. Come great ones and with your vajra thunderbolt of wisdom and your hinderance demolishing phurba to once and for all dispel the samsaric seeds of unknowing. Lord of Death, with your spear and trident pierce the veil of ignorance to free us from the path of karmic repetition.

Wrathful Vajrakilaya is the yidam deity who embodies the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas. Vajrakilaya is a wrathful manifestation of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of Purification. This practice focuses on removing intense inner and outer obstacles to peace, happiness, and enlightenment within oneself, the environment and the world at large.

The samaya (sacred promise to your teacher) for taking this empowerment is to never to lose your love for others and ideally do a daily practice of Vajrakilaya or at mininmum recite the Vajrakilaya mantra daily.

This is a wonderful opportunity to practice in this amazingly powerful mandala, for the benefit of all beings.

This is a reminder that H.E. Garchen Rinpoche is instructing everyone to take the Vajrakilaya empowerment online before September 23, the start of Drupchen.  If you have not been able to start, please make sure to take the empowerment before proceeding.
