About the Teaching
The Long Sadhana of Cittamani Tara is one of the most profound and complete practices of Arya Tara, bringing together the essential stages of the Vajrayana path within a single meditation. Rich in symbolism and meaning, it offers a powerful method for developing compassion, wisdom, and the swift accomplishment of both temporary and ultimate aims.
In this four-session series, Rinpoche will explore Pabongka Rinpoche’s renowned commentary on the practice, unpacking the meaning behind each stage of the sadhana—from refuge and bodhicitta in the generation stage practice through meditation, mantra recitation, and dedication. These teachings illuminate not only what to do during the practice, but why each element is included, allowing the meditation to become increasingly clear, alive and transformative.
Whether you are new to the long sadhana or have been practicing it for many years, these teachings will deepen your understanding, strengthen your confidence in the practice, and enrich your connection with Arya Tara’s swift, compassionate activity.
