Namkha Gyatso Rinpoche will bestow the profound Khandro Thugtik: ‘The Dakini Heart Essence’ Long Life Empowerment. This is an extraordinary opportunity to receive blessings from a sacred Vajrayana lineage.
Empowerments serve as a transformative gateway, offering not only the blessings but the strength and clarity to fully engage with and accomplish the practice. This sacred initiation activates the innate pure nature of our minds, opening the path for liberation within this very lifetime. The Khandro Thugtik is a rare and precious teaching known as the “Heart Essence of the Dakini,” encapsulating all essential instructions in a single heart-drop of wisdom. The blessings of the Khandro Thugtik has the power to harmonise and strengthen our vital life force, potentially extending our lifespan and allowing us to benefit others for many more years.
This Long Life Empowerment comes from the Khandro Thugtik cycle—a mind-treasure revealed by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, directly received from Yeshe Tsogyal, the enlightened consort of Guru Rinpoche. As the embodiment of primordial wisdom and enlightened qualities, Yeshe Tsogyal holds the essence of Vajrayana teachings. Guru Rinpoche himself proclaimed, “Yeshe Tsogyal is the perfect vessel to carry the heart of the Vajrayana path.”
Through this empowerment, we are given the rare chance to follow the footsteps of Yeshe Tsogyal, unlocking the potential to achieve the same realisation she embodies.
Besides the empowerment, Namkha Gyatso Rinpoche also agreed to offer the oral transmission (Lung) and Pith Instructions on the (daily) practice of Kurukulla. Kurukulla belongs to the Lotus family and is the deity of magnetising activity. This practice allows us to align ourselves with the deep wisdom and transformative power of the dakini, nurturing our spiritual development while enhancing our ability to bring benefit to all beings. This teaching was requested to Rinpoche many times in the past, only now he has agreed.
