Vajrayogini Short Close Retreat of Actions & Generation Stage Retreat (self-guided)

January 5 - 31, 2026 (whole month or individual weeks)

Tara International Kadampa Retreat Centre is hosting this Highest Yoga Tantra retreat in a secluded meditation room within Ashe Hall, for qualified practitioners.

On a short close retreat of actions of Vajrayogini we recite the three-OM mantra one hundred thousand times. After completing this, we can purify all mistakes by performing the burning offering (fire puja). Once we have completed a close retreat of actions and a fire puja we are qualified to perform self-initiation (using Feast of Great Bliss sadhana). With this practice, we can renew and strengthen our Tantric vows and commitments and purify our negativities, including our Tantric downfalls. It is important to practise this regularly to maintain our vows and commitments.
