A 7-day Drupchö (extensive prayer ceremony) for Dorje Phagmo, or Vajravarahi, a form of Vajrayogini, is being held through August 30, 2018 at Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in Bylakuppe. Vajrayogini is one of the main deities for self-visualization in Ngöndro (preliminary practices) and other generation stage meditations practiced by all the lineages in Vajrayana Buddhism.
The main guardian deity of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, Achi Chökyi Drolma, is an emanation of Vajrayogini.
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 3 times and 10 directions.” (Sydney, March 2018)
