Martsang Dechen Nyru class

The Martsang Dechen Nyru translates as ‘essential teachings on the swift path to great bliss’. Its nectar blessings and teachings form the quintessential meditational practice stages, that follow on from having developed a solid foundation from hearing, studying and contemplating the Martsang Lam Rim.

The practices are a bridge between Sutra and Vajrayana practice and so introduce the concept of deity practice and the importance of relying on the master, both of which are necessary requirements to study and practice the Martsang Mahamudra.
