Secret Dakini Treasure and Wensum
The “Secret Dakini Treasure” is especially recommended for those practicing wensum (Three Isolations) and the First Vajra Yoga. Following Khentrul Rinpoche’s wish, this concise sadhana should be practiced only by:
1 – Those who have received the Four Higher Empowerments with him or, if not, by:
2 – Any stable Dharma practitioner who has completed the ngöndro in any tradition and has the aspiration to receive such Empowerments and is making sincere efforts to do so. If you have completed ngöndro in another tradition, you still must familiarize yourself with the Jonang Lineage Supplications and Generation Stage practices and endeavor to receive the Seven Empowerments of a Growing Child as well as the Four Higher Empowerments. Your life should be wholly oriented towards the dharma. If you have not familiarized yourself with these, you should do so before joining this group.
In both cases, you should know very well the previous sadhanas “The Divine Ladder” and “Enlightening the Heart”.
What to Expect
-At the beginning of the session, the Zoom host should check whether new attendees meet the above qualifications.
-Session will begin with the “Secret Dakini Treasure” sadhana. At the appropriate time, the group will begin wensum for approximately XYZ minutes then finish the concluding sections of the sadhana.
-Wensum instructions will not be provided nor spoken aloud, and videos must remain off during the wensum section of the practice.
Extra note: This practice does not count towards ngöndro completion for those who have not received the Four Higher Empowerments.For an orientation regarding Rinpoche’s flexible approach to the ngöndro, one can refer to his book “Unveiling Your Sacred Truth Through the Kalachakra Path — Book 2”, Chapter 14.
