This series will introduce students to the ancient wisdom lineage of Yeshe Tsogyal, a historic Tibetan woman who achieved Buddhahood and to meditation. The unique teachings of Yeshe Tsogyal are available to us through Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo. She is recognized as an emmantaion of Yeshe Tsogyal/Vajrayogini/Prajnaparmita and she is in direct connection with her wisdom mind.The first day of each weekend will be taught by Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo. The second day will present relevant introductory Buddhist meditation practices taught by Abbess Khenmo Drolma. It is designed for new students and experienced practitioners. You can register for the complete series of three weekends, one weekend or any individual day.

She had a deep longing and commitment to sincerely benefit others, completing a long and arduous training to do so. Tibetan Buddhism emphasizes the role of an experienced teacher or guide. She recorded Guru Padmasambhava's teaching for future generations and left her own practices for us as well.
