This past Saturday, we culminated our Vajrakilaya practice and the Suppression of Negatives. The evening’s events were marked with many auspicious signs like a a rising storm that abated during our practice, the appearance of rainbow over Rinpoche, and a cloud shaped like the Vajra Dagger over the newly consecrated Suppression Stupa.
