Vajra Armor is a rarely-taught practice said to cure all 404 types of disease and is highly recommended for those experiencing health challenges. Tibetan physicians have long regarded it as a powerful healing method. In addition to its physical benefits, Vajra Armor offers a complete path of liberation by balancing the outer and inner elements.
Tulku Thadral Rinpoche will give the oral transmission for the Vajra Armor mantra and practice, offer in-depth teachings, and lead group practice over the three-day retreat. This is a rare opportunity to receive these profound teachings directly from an authentic lineage master.
“Guru Rinpoche predicted that during these degenerate times, beings’ merit would decrease every day and the elements would become more and more imbalanced. We can see this with so many floods, droughts, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and extreme heat waves. New diseases are appearing that doctors have never seen and cannot treat easily. People’s conduct is becoming rougher every day and negative spirits and energies are gaining strength.
However, out of their great compassion, the buddhas have given us real tools to transform this negativity and protect us. Of all these methods, Vajra Armor is one of the most powerful protection practices for our health and to remove unwanted circumstances of all kinds.
There are many different Vajra Armor sadhanas, some with elaborate rituals. I will be presenting a very concise sadhana with a deity form root mantra that has the same power and is very practical for our busy lives.”
— Lama Sonam Rinpoche
In-person participants will have an opportunity for a personal interview with Tulku Thadral Rinpoche.
