The Hybrid “Dharmastorm” of the Vajrayogini Druppa, Chakrasamvara Feast and Shamatha-Vipashyana Mahamudra Retreat Spreads Delight in Halifax and Beyond

Old and new Vajrayogini practitioners conducted a very “rich” and well-attended seven day hybrid Vajrayogini Druppa—including inspiring talks by the Dorje Loppön Lodro Dorje and Gelong Lodrö Sangpo, as well the traditional construction of a sandmandala and training sessions in making a sindura mandala and tormas, as well as damaru play, etc. Auspiciously, Khenpo Tenkyong also arrived at KCCL at the time of dismantling the Vajrayogini sandmandala. The next day, Khenpo led a beautiful ceremony at Horseshoe island Park where we returned in a procession the sand from the Vajrayogini mandala to the Ocean (see photos).

This was followed the next day by a hybrid Chakrasamvara feast during which Khenpo Tenkyong gave an address, and then by a two day hybrid Shamatha and Vipashyana Mahamudra retreat, which again was delightful and well attended.

Khenpo then departed toward Cape Breton while making stop-overs at Dorje Denma Ling and Gampo Abbey, before giving the next days public talks in Baddeck and Sydney (see photos).

Overall, well done!
