By integrating these instructions into our daily life, we can learn how to control our mind and always keep a good motivation in our heart. This will make all our daily actions pure and meaningful and, as we experience increasingly more peaceful states of mind, we will discover the supreme happiness of enlightenment. This week will also be a perfect preparation for receiving Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments.<\/p>\n\t<h3><strong>**WEEK 2 Heruka Body Mandala &amp; Vajrayogini Empowerments with<br \/>\nGen-la Kelsang Jampa<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>July 31 &#8211; Aug 8<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t<p>Highest Yoga Tantra is a special method for attaining enlightenment in this one short life. The very essence of Highest Yoga Tantra can be found in the practices of Heruka and Vajrayogini.<\/p>\n<p>Gen-la Kelsang Jampa will grant the Heruka and Vajrayogini empowerments that bestow upon us the special blessings of these Buddhas. He will then give clear and practical teachings on how to enter and make progress on this blissful, quick path to enlightenment &#8211; the ultimate goal of our human life.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kadampafestivals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Genla-Jampa-2-crop.jpeg\" alt=\"Gen-la Kelsang Jampa General Spiritual Director\" height=\"856\" width=\"856\" title=\"Genla-Jampa-2-crop\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t<figcaption>Gen-la Kelsang Jampa General Spiritual Director<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kadampafestivals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Gen-Sangden.jpg\" alt=\"Gen-la Kelsang Sangden, Deputy Spiritual Director\" title=\"Gen Sangden\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t<figcaption>Gen-la Kelsang Sangden, Deputy Spiritual Director<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<p><strong>*Week 1<\/strong> begins in the evening of Friday 24 July and finishes in the evening of Wednesday 29 July.<\/p>\n<p><strong>**Week 2<\/strong> begins in the morning of Friday 31 July, with the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments beginning that afternoon.
