CRSS 2024 Upcoming Event Dates Vajrakilaya Drüpcho with Venerable Abao Lama November 22nd - 26th Chöd Retreat with Venerable Ani Stanzin Chorol December 13th - 15th 
Vajrakilaya Drüpcho with Venerable Abao Lama November 22nd -26th, 2024 We rejoice to welcome Venerable Abao Lama back to CRSS to lead our yearly Vajrakilaya Drüpcho! Registration & Details Coming Soon! The wrathful heruka Vajrakilaya (Tib: Dorje Phurba) is a wrathful emanation of Vajrasattva known as the ‘Fiercely Compassionate One.’ Vajrakilaya is the yidam deity who embodies the Enlightened Activity of All the Buddhas and whose practice is famous for being the most powerful for removing obstacles, destroying the forces hostile to compassion and purifying the spiritual pollution so prevalent in this age. Vajrakilaya is one of the Eight Great Herukas of the Highest Yoga Tantra whose practices were passed to the Eight Great Vidyadharas, or lineage holders. The Vajrakilaya tantras were given to Guru Padmasambhava to hold. They were hidden as earth treasures to be revealed later by treasure revealers, including the widely-practiced lineage of Ratna Lingpa, which we will be practicing at Chicago Ratna Shri. The practice of Vajrakilaya is known for being a powerful means to removing inner and outer obstacles to peace, happiness and enlightenment, as well as destroying forces hostile to compassion. In Vajrakilaya, the Compassion of the Buddhas is expressed Wrathfully. He wields a pointed dagger, or phurba, to eradicate ignorance and dualistic thinking that prevents the dawning of realization.
