*This highest yoga tantra (HYT) initiation will be open only to successful registrants meeting the prerequisites.
This initiation is meant for serious practitioners who have a stable grounding in the learning and practice of the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Lam Rim).
Lama Zopa Rinpoche has emphasized before that "of all practices, the main one is meditation on the lam-rim in order to gain lam-rim realizations. Tantric practice is secondary."
Receiving this initiation entails taking the Bodhisattva vows, Tantric vows, and tantric commitments, as well as taking H.E Ganden Tri Rinpoche as your tantric guru.
