Welcome to the Third Excellence ~ Module 1
Before continuing our training in the third vehicle, the pinnacle of all vehicles, there is a short self-assessment quiz and a personal interview that are prerequisites to starting the Vajrayana practices.
The Vajrayana takes the result as the path; it is the vehicle where an abundance of skillful means allow us to get rid of our obscurations very quickly and gather the accumulations with little effort. For the first half of this module, we will be introduced to the colorful world of tantra with its rituals, visualizations, recitations, and deity practice.
There are six vehicles within the secret Vajra vehicle, and here we train in the first two, namely the Kriya and Upa tantras, as we learn step-by-step about the Outer Tara sadhana, The Maṇḍala Ritual Called The Essence of the Two Accumulations. This sadhana places its focus on the widely practiced prayer called the Twenty-One Praises to Tara. Once the daily contemplations have been concluded, one can move on to practicing the outer Tara sadhana 108 times.
We wish you abundant blessings and a transformative practice experience.
