Vajryogini is a female Buddha who embodies oneís innermost essence and is associated with the mother tantras of anutaratantra yoga. According to Tsongkapa, her practice includes methods for preventing ordinary death, awareness in the intermediate state or bardo and rebirth by transforming these into paths, including the transformation of mundane daily activities into the enlightened state of mind.


Please Note:

Achi Chokyi Drolma, the protector of the Drikung Kagyu lineage is an emanation of Vajrayogini. This empowerment is intended to support the Achi retreat with Drupon Rinpoche the following weekend of 5/21 – 5/23. However, attendance of the empowerment is not required for the Retreat. Vajrayogini is the consort of Chakrasamvara, the principle deity of the Drikung Kagyu lineage.

Coming in July & August 2010: H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche will be giving the Chakrasamvara empowerment at our sister center, the Garchen Buddhist Institute in Chino Valley, Arizona.
