Join Lamas Rigdzin and Yeshe for a profound afternoon of practice focused on Buddha Akshobhya, the Lord of the Vajra family. Known for his extraordinary vow to never bear the slightest malice toward any being, Akshobhya practice is a powerful method for cutting through the momentum of negative karma—even extreme nonvirtues such as hatred and violence.

This practice offers more than personal liberation; it is a supreme method for benefiting the deceased. By relying on Akshobhya, we can dedicate merit to help those who died in difficult circumstances, assuring their release from lower states of existence.
