Secret Hayagriwa Empowerment and Practice (English – Italian) -29 March 2014

This practice is in the lineage of Amitabha Buddha, the guru of Avalokiteshvara and is also a hidden tresure text from Guru Padmasambhava. Most of the Most Secret Hayagriva transmissions were brought from India to Tibet by the great master Nyingmapa master Vairochana Lotsawa.The founder of Sera Je, Kunkhyen Lodro Rinchen Senge had an especially strong connection to this practice from his own father , a Nyingmapa lama. Kunkhyen Lodro Rinchen Senge was looking for a place to build a monastery and came upon a cemetery with a thorn bush in it. He saw a red raven fly to that thorn bush and disappear into it. A vision of the entire mandala and deity of Hayagriva then appeared to him where the bush stood. Taking heed of these auspicious signs, he proceeded to build the first temple of Sera Je Monastery on that very site. The bush is preserved as a relic within the Hayagriva statue at Sera Je in Tibet till today. After this Lama Tsongkhapa gave his blessing for this lineage of Hayagriva to be adopted as the principal protector of the monastery, and Sera Je has maintained a strong relationship with Hayagriva ever since.
