“Unlike other mandala such as Hevajra or Kalachakra, the Chakrasamvara mandala is still fully manifested and active in the twenty-four holy places in India. For this reason, Chakrasamvara and his consort, Vajrayogini, are considered one of the most effective deities of our time.”

As part of his short visit to America this July, our Head Lama H.E. Khöndung Avikrita Vajra Rinpoche will visit Sakya Monastery in Seattle to bestow a precious day of empowerments and teachings called Dharma for Life and Death. This will introduce us to a rare practice for enhancing our life in Dharma called Chagdongma, and support Sakya Monastery’s regular Shitro practice dedicated to those who have passed away. Rinpoche will also be offering a Refuge Ceremony before the empowerments.
