Vajrayogini Druppa: Meaning, Sign and Symbol Vajrayogini

In-person at KCCL and also online

From August 31 to September 4

Description: This druppa will consist of five full practice days and is a great opportunity to further familiarize or deepen yourself with the entire practice, including the abhisheka and feast sections, which will be recited every day. The last day will feature a grand feast.

The theme of this year’s druppa is Meaning, Sign and Symbol Vajrayogini, a classification based on Thongwa Tönden, Karmapa VI (1416–1453), the composer of our Vajrayogini sadhana, and also as discussed by Pawo Tsug-lak Trengwa (1504–1566) in his famous Lhatri commentary and as explained by Thrangu Rinpoche and Khenpo Karthar. Each day we will have a brief presentation of these topics at around 11.30 AM.

Daily schedule:
