Yearly Tarot reading for H.H. The Dalai Lama

I was originally a traditionally initiated Vajramaster in the Ganden tradition of the Gelug lineage of Je Tsongkapa. I also received Vajramaster initiation in the Nyingma tradition, and finally received Vajramaster initiation from the Sakya tradition and added LamDre and Hevajra studies.
I supervise the Kalachakra Ashrams in Austin, Pasadena, Portland, and Seattle where we have private instruction in and practice of LamRim, LamDre, Meditation, and the Highest Yoga Tantra practices of Vajrayogini, Hevajra, Chakrasamvara, Vajrakilaya, Kalachakra and Six Yogas of Kalachakra,
and The Six yogas of Naropa.

I carry Green Tara, White Tara, and Cintamani Tara Lineages of the Atisha line thru both Gelug and Sakya tradition teachers. The Tara Tantra is a Lower Tantra class scripture. You can read the first or last chapter of the Tara Tantra by consulting the index for the TARA Tantra.

The Hevajra Tantra is a Highest Yoga Tantra class scripture which most consider a Mother Tantra. It comes from the Virupa lineage carried through the Sakya tradition of the Khon family.
You can read the first chapter of the Hevajra Tantra by consulting the index for the HEVAJRA Tantra.

You can read why we must practice Highest Yoga Tantra to achieve complete Enlightenment, in Arya Nagarjuna's commentary Paths and Grounds of Guhyasamaja Tantra. This teaching is from my Gelug masters. I do not give Guhyasamaja empowerments, but I have added study materials for The Guhyasamaja Tantra (which is considered a Father Tantra) since they support the other practices.

Read an overview of the Vajrayana path inVajrayana overview. also from the Gelug tradition.

You can also read Nagarjuna's list of 21 States which make up the State of a Buddha. Nagarjuna was an Indian Tantric Buddhist and predated the four traditions commonly known today.

The Blue Annals contain historical information about Buddhist Lineages.
