Vajrayogini Druppa
July 10 to 18, 2012
Gampo Abbey and Söpa Chöling invite you to celebrate with us our tradition of performing a Vajrayogini Druppa.
This druppa (practice intensive) format was introduced in 1987 by Thrangu Rinpoche's three-year retreat master Lama Sherab Tendar. It involves the construction of a sand mandala, four sessions of daily practice, and the dismantling of the sand mandala.
Everyone who has received the Vajrayogini abhisheka is invited and in particular all Söpa Chöling alumni (three-year retreat graduates).
