Previous White Khechari drupchös were hosted by Kunzang Chöling of Phoenix in Arizona, but due to COVID-19 circumstances this year, the 2021retreat will be live-streamed on KPL’s YouTube channel.
This drupchö will be slightly different from previous live-streamed events. Because the event is intended to be a retreat, participants must register in order to view the Friday night teaching and the weekend’s puja sessions.
In addition, there will be a Q&A afternoon session via Zoom on Sunday, January 10. Q&A Google forms for submittal of questions and Zoom links will be emailed to all who have registered in advance of the retreat.
Who Is White Khechari?
The White Khechari (White Vajrayogini) terma cycle was the first of the earth termas discovered by the treasure text revealer Terchen Barway Dorje (1st Bardor Rinpoche, 1836-1918). This particular sadhana is the intermediate form of the principal practice of White Khechari herself. Since this White Khechari cycle is a recent discovery and so is intended for modern times, its blessings are inconceivable. It is still fresh and warm with the blessings of the dakinis and the lineage.
What Is a Drupchö?
Drupchö is a multi-day intensive deity practice that involves making vast offerings and mantra accumulations in order to accomplish the essence of the deity.
For those unfamiliar with this practice, you are welcome to attend and follow along. If you are interested in learning about the practice, the sadhana, audio recordings and transcript of the commentary are available at the KPL Bookstore’s website. The links are provided below.
