This section of Sakya Pandita’s text shows us how to practice Vajrayana Buddhism correctly and how to avoid common misunderstandings and errors.

2:30pm - 4:30pm Lords of the Three Families (Chenrezik, Manjushri & Vajrapani)

This initiation of The Lords of the Three Families (Rigsum Gonpo) is the permission initiation which allows one to meditate on the three principal bodhisattvas: Manjushri, the deity of wisdom, Chenrezik, the deity of compassion, and Vajrapani, the deity of power.

*Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the initiation.
