Vajrakilaya Retreat
Vajrakilaya Retreat and Dakini Dance with Drubpon Tsering Rinpoche
Vajrakilaya, Dorje Phurba, is the embodiment of the enlightened activity of all Buddhas. He is the wrathful expression of wisdom and compassion, overcoming all internal and external obstacles, purifying mental poisons and spiritual defilements.
The sharp, penetrating energy of the Phurba symbolizes his powerful deeds to protect all sentient beings. With this retreat, we will eliminate the negative forces before the Tibetan New Year (the Year of the Fire Horse) which begins on February 18, 2026.
The Vajrakilaya empowerment is a prerequisite for participation on site, online, and in individual sessions.
