The annual Vajrayogini (Dorje Phagmo) Drupchö (extensive prayer ceremony) will be held September 8-12, 2022 at Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in Bylakuppe.

Ayang Rinpoche said about Vajrayogini: “Among all the wisdom dakinis, Vajrayogini is the highest. She represents the True Nature of Mind, Prajnaparamita, the mother of all the Buddhas of the three times and ten directions.” (Sydney, March 2018)

Vajrayogini is one of the main deities for self-visualization in Ngöndro (preliminary practices), Phowa and Guru Yoga meditation practiced by many lineages in Vajrayana Buddhism.  Achi Chökyi Drolma,  the main guardian deity of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, is an emanation of Vajrayogini.
