Vajrayana Buddhism is practiced by those of us who have formally entered the Buddhist path and have a solid foundation in Mahayana principles. Under the guidance of a qualified teacher, and after receiving transmissions and empowerments, we engage in Vajrayana practices such as visualization and mantra recitation. Lerab Ling upholds a rich lineage of Vajrayana practice and hosts lineage masters who grant transmissions and empowerments. Dzogchen, the heart-essence of spiritual paths, offers the clearest way for us to realize the true nature of our mind.
