THE VAJRA DANCE OF SPACE OF THE UNBORN 12 A
We warmly invite you to join our Online course with Prima Mai on
the Khalong Dorje Kar of the Unborn (12 A).
​
This Vajra Dance is a symbolic dance of total integration beyond beginning or end. It is a dance of recognition of our pure nature and true potential. It can be practiced anywhere and does not require the support of a mandala. Throught movement of the body, chanting the A with the voice, and resting the mind in the state of contemplation, the three main aspects of our existence are harmonized, allowing a state of serenity and deep relaxation to arise.
​
The Dance of the Vajra arose from the profound meditation of the Dzogchen master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. From 1989 onwards, the Master received the terma “The Vajra Dance Liberating the Six Classes of Beings into the Six Pure Dimensions”.
​
“Vajra” is a Sanskrit word meaning "diamond". In the Dzogchen teaching, the vajra symbolizes our essential nature, which is pure, clear and immutable like a diamond. Through the practice of the Dance of the Vajra, one can discover this true nature by remaining in the state of contemplation, and learn to maintain and stabilize this recognition not only in seated meditation, but also while in movement. In this way it can become an integral part of daily life.
​​
Since 1991, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu taught four different Vajra Dances. While all four dances harmonize the three main aspects of our being – body, energy (or voice) and mind – each dance has its own specific characteristics.
​​
The Vajra Dances are inseparably linked to the transmission of the Dzogchen Teaching. ​Requirements: having received teachings from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu or Namkhai Yeshi.
