Vajrasattva Purification Practice
Purifying negativities through the practice of Vajrasattva
This is open to all people interested in purification processes and forms part 1 of a 3 part program for senior reiki practitioners stepping into the subtle aspects of their being.

Vajrasattva is one of the most well known, applied and powerful methods used in Buddhism across lineages. Vajrasattva practice allows you to uncover the reality of your Buddha nature which is hidden as a result of our defilements created by attachment, aggression and delusion.
This 2 day course will guide participants through a range of topics and practical methods for the application of purification practice :
* The obscurations to the realisation of suchness and what needs to be purified
* Establishing the view and approach to the purification method
* The visualisation and stages of the practice
