SUMMARY:Mahayana Precepts
DESCRIPTION:The practice of taking and keeping the eight Mahayana precepts is a special practice of moral discipline that is performed with compassion for all living beings. The essence of the practice is to take eight precepts — promising to abstain for 24 hours from eight actions: (1) killing\, (2) stealing\, (3) sexual activity\, (4) lying\, (5) taking intoxicants\, (6) eating after lunch\, (7) sitting on high or luxurious thrones or seats\, and (8) wearing ornaments\, perfume\, singing and dancing and so forth – and to keep them purely for this period of time. This practice is performed monthly at Kadampa Buddhist Centers worldwide on the 15th of each month.

SUMMARY:Dakini Yoga (HYT)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers and meditations that contain the essence of the self-generation practice of Vajrayogini – the female enlightened Deity of Highest Yoga Tantra who is the manifestation of the wisdom of all Buddhas. It is also a six-session yoga – a simple but powerful daily practice for maintaining all Tantric commitments for those who have received a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment – that has been specially arranged for those who have received the empowerment of Vajrayogini. Also included are lists of the Bodhisattva and Tantric vows and commitments\, and an explanation on how the practice of Dakini Yoga fulfils these commitments. \nThose attending should have received Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment or have the intention to do so in the near future.
