As times become ever more impure,
Your power and blessings ever increase
And you care for us quickly, as swift as thought;
O Heruka Father and Mother, to you I prostrate.

Winter Retreats on Father Heruka and Mother Vajrayogini
The very essence of Buddha’s teachings are the instructions on the Highest Yoga Tantra practices of Heruka and Vajrayogini. These include special methods for preventing ordinary appearance and ordinary conception, special methods for preventing ordinary death, intermediate state and rebirth, and uncommon methods for transforming all daily experiences into higher spiritual paths.
With Gen-la kelsang Khyenrab and Gen Kelsang Losel
Retreat on Buddha Vajrayogini
The instructions on the practice of Vajrayogini contain concise and clearly presented meditations that are relatively easy to practise.
The mantra is short and easy to recite, and the visualizations of the mandala, the Deity, and the body mandala are simple compared with those of other Highest Yoga Tantra Deities.
Even practitioners with limited abilities and little wisdom can engage in these practices without great difficulty.
The practice of Vajrayogini quickly brings blessings, especially during this spiritually degenerate age.
