Initiation into the great Prajnaparamita Mandala with 59 deities

The golden mother Prajanaparamita embodies the entire teaching and wisdom of Buddha. The essence of the perfection of wisdom is an understanding that has directly realized emptiness and connected it with the kind and compassionate bodhicitta. In the second rotation of the wheel, Buddha Shakyamuni taught the teachings of Prajnaparamita and explained the highest Middle Way, the path of profound wisdom on Vulture Hill.

The entry into this large mandala of 59 deities can be taken as a blessing to get a unique connection with this practice. For Chod practitioners it is a massgelbliche experience which brings much support in practice – Rinpoche advises us to include the Prajnaparamita mantra into our daily practice.

We hope to be able to offer a visualization and mantra retreat for this practice in the future.
