Dakini Subtle Body Sadhana

Enlightenment arises from within the body,
Or it does not arise at all.
Unless the body is realized as a perfect vessel for liberation,
Freedom from conditioned existence remains only an imaginary dream.

These classes offer a unique and evolutionary home study experience, leading to genuine transformation.

Body as a blissful temple

Here in this body are the sacred rivers:
here are the sun and the moon 
as well as all the pilgrimage places… 
I have not entered another temple 
as blissful as my own body.

Body as refuge, mind as the teacher

Don't look for another source of refuge..
The body itself is a sacred mandala.
Don’t look elsewhere for the deity,
The mind itself, unborn and un-perishing,
Is the ultimate Buddha and the teacher.
