Each day is followed by an hour long practice of the Yeshe Tsogyal Sadhana for those authorized. Details are found AQUI*

Yeshe Tsogyal’s legacy looms large in Tibetan Buddhism, and her life story has inspired generations of practitioners under challenging circumstances. In youth, her family attempted to force her into marriage, but she escaped to become Tibet’s preeminent yogini. While practicing in solitude, she faced numerous hardships and persevered through austerities. Exemplifying devotion, she served as student, consort, adept, and tantric master, achieving realization on par with Padmasambhava, the eighth-century Indian master who helped establish Buddhism on the Tibetan plateau. Yeshe Tsogyal’s ongoing presence continues through ritual, visionary experience, pilgrimage, treasure revelations, and living emanations.

Através da prática, palestras e diálogos, this weekend explores what we can learn from Yeshe Tsogyal’s life to inspire our own practice and path. Following the trajectory of her life story, we will examine themes of devotion as a longing to awaken, consort practice in its profundity and pitfalls, taking adversity as path, and the dakini as a vibrant symbol of awakening.

*For those who received the lude (transmissão de leitura) for “The Brilliant Light of the Blessings of Great Bliss: A Guru Yoga based on Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal” from Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche in October 2023, we will practice the sadhana together at the end of each day.
