Vajrapañjara Tantra (Skt. ḍākinī-vajra-pañjara-tantra; Tib. do rje gur) or Indestructible Tent Tantra is an explanatory tantra of the Hevajra Tantra cycle. Khenpo Chödrak Tenphel Rinpoche has been teaching the Vajrapañjara Tantra to a gathering of resident and visiting scholar-practitioners at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling’s monastic college. We are extremely fortunate that he has accepted our invitation to give teachings over two consecutive days at Rangjung Yeshe Institute on this highly influential tantra.

Khenpo Chödrak Tenphel Rinpoche was born in the Kham province of East Tibet in 1950. He began his studies at age 9 at Rumtek monastery in Sikkim, at the feet of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje. From age 26-31, after having completed his training in linguistics, dialectics, philosophy and epistemology, Khenpo Rinpoche studied the Buddhist tantras. He directed the Nalanda Institute of Higher Studies of Rumtek Monastery as well as the Karmapa International Buddhist Institute (KIBI) in Delhi. Khenpo Rinpoche figures today among the main teachers of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Thaye Dorjee.
The talk will be in Tibetan with English translation. He spoke with students at RYI on 1st and 2nd Feb, 2020.
