Mahayoga, which focuses on the Development Stage of Meditation Practice in Vajrayana Buddhism,
engages the visualization of meditation deities and mandalas, mantras, mudras, music, feast offerings
and other ceremonies. These profound and dynamic techniques enable the practitioner to swiftly attain
realization of the ultimate nature of being, and create enormous benefit for all sentient beings. |

|
In order to truly understand the teachings of Mahayoga, and engage in its meditation practices in an authentic
and effective way, it is most beneficial to prepare by reflecting on the basic truths taught by the Buddha:
human birth as the basis for awakening, impermanence, karma-the natural law of cause and effect, and the
unsatisfactory condition of confused existence. Our preparation then continues with taking refuge in the
Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and generating the pure intention and ability to benefit all
living beings. We also purify our mind stream so that we are free of obstacles to life and meditation practice;
cultivate 'merit', the true font of worldly and spiritual prosperity; and realize the ultimate guru - the actual,
awakened nature of our own mind. |

As Lopon Sang-ngag Yeshe wishes to give these teachings in an in-depth manner, it is expected that they will
continue for some time. Although it is most beneficial to attend every class, please join when you can and attend as often as possible. |
|
|
Given for the first time in Victoria, these teachings are called 'The Preliminary Practices of the Guru Ocean of Gems'.
Texts will be provided by Yeshe Khorlo Centre. |
