Buddha Lady Finally Arrives Home!!
(By Tsem Rinpoche, May 26th, 2011)
For the longest time I wanted to invite a large Vajra Yogini statue into my personal residence. Decades ago I can only dream of such an event. But recently it really happened! I feel so fortunate.
I requested Paul and his wonderful team at Kechara Discovery and Kechara Saraswati Arts dept to arrange one for me. They did. That was just a few months back. They did such a professional job. These departments really can get the most beautiful images of various Buddhas for your centre, homes or office. I love their workmanship.
Tsem Ladrang people pre-ordered a shrine for Her weeks ahead. Paul and team had her ornaments, jewels, skirt and top intricately weaved with pearls (high quality imitation). It took months of skilled work to make Her beautiful skirt and top. So that the minute Vajra Yogini arrives, it can be offered up to her. We had so many mantras, sacred images and holy objects inserted into Her also according to tradition. You can see below the list.
I did something special. There is a very powerful ritual called Neljorma Ruchok or Vajra Yogini Ruchok. You can collect the hair, nails or teeth of deceased persons/animals and bless the items. After Ruchok blessing they can be inserted into a stupa, statue or tsatsa. The items can also be grounded to be mixed into Tsatsa images. Also the hair and nails of people/animals who are alive may go through the Ruchok process and same things done. In this case we inserted all the items into Vajra Yogini’s holy image. Many people offered up their hair and nails for Ruchok. The reason we consecrate the hair/nails of people and animals is to purify their heavy negative karma, then when it’s inserted into the Vajra Yogini, She will bless all the people/animals the items belonged to. It is a powerful blessing.
For those who are alive the Ruchok confers blessings for them to live long, purify karma, protected, blessed for peace, understand the dharma better and engage in practice to get results. To be on the path of dharma and to eventually obtain Vajra Yogini’s sacred practice. This helps to make a powerful connection to Vajra Yogini.
For those deceased, the items after Ruchok inserted into Vajra Yogini purify their karma to take a good rebirth in a dharma environment in the future so they can practice and advance.
When the holy statue of Vajra Yogini arrived finally, She is not treated as a statue but a special honored enlightened guest. So offerings are made to her of flowers, sindhura powder, incense, milk, yoghurt, light, khata, herbs to welcome Her in.
Then we inserted the special items. Sealed the items in and invited Her to the awaiting altar. When She arrived and while the mantra was being inserted I offered Vajra Yogini tsok to request Her to abide and remain in the holy image. The holy image of Vajra Yogini is a ‘shell’ to house the actual real Buddha Vajra Yogini. We do not pray to the statue, but the statue is good for our visualizations and awareness. The statue is to remind us of Her presence and holy form. Easier to visualize Her holy form.
After she has been erected on the altar. I wanted part of Her face painted in. I did not want the whole face painted as I like it antique style. Then oranaments applied to her crown and body, then skirt and all. Then it was done. She is permanently here in all Her powerful sacred dharma glory.
She is finally here!! We will make beautiful offerings to sacred Vajra Yogini daily wishing to gain the attainments of Her profound path that can confer enlightenment within 7 lifetimes. She will bless the environment and all those who see Her. All the people/animals blessed by Ruchok within Her body will be blessed daily. The people/animals whose nails and hair are within Her body are indeed fortunate.
A wonderful 12 minute condensed video has been made of the whole process. Please take a look below. You will learn and understand more. You can rejoice.
I thank Paul, Kechara Discovery, Kechara Saraswati Arts, Tsem Ladrang Depts for all their hard work, efforts and wonderful planning. I am very happy beyond words to have such a magnificent sacred image of Vajra Yogini in my residence. I am so incredibly fortunate to have audience with such a beautiful image daily. Thank you everyone.

A sacred image of the rare form of Vajrayogini known as Ucheyma, the Buddha that shows us the path to eradicate the ego. For this and many other high-resolution images of the enlightened beings to download for free visit: https://bit.ly/2oxb4qU
Ucheyma (Severed Headed Vajrayogini) (Main figure)
(Top to bottom): H.H. the 7th Panchen Lama, Ucheyma (Severed Headed Vajrayogini), Vajra Varnani (green assistant), Vajra Vairocani (yellow assistant), Dorje Shugden and Citipati.
The central deity is known as Chinnamasta or Dorje Neljorma Ucheyma. Both Chinnamasta (Sanskrit) and Ucheyma (Tibetan) literally mean, ‘She Whose Head is Severed’. The meaning behind her form is to show practitioners that they need to completely remove the grasping and self-identification with the “I” or the ego. Generally, the identity of the self is strongly associated with our face more than any other part of our body. We usually recognise a person when we look at a person’s face. Hence, our self-identification or ego is strongly associated with our face. To show us that this self-identification needs to be overcome on the spiritual path to enlightenment, Vajrayogini uses her ritual chopper to decapitate herself. This is symbolic of her practice eradicating the ego.
The Severed Headed Vajrayogini, as she is also known, removes all afflictive mental constructs by removing the root cause – the identification of the self, the ego. We are either attached to or averse to people and circumstances because we have an ego to please, gratify and protect. But in the grander scheme of things, this self-identification with the ‘I’ is illusory and does not really exist. Therefore, Vajrayogini reveals this ultimate truth through the dramatic decapitation of her head and at the same time is still able to live and function. She is able to live due to her direct perception of emptiness and egolessness.
Contrary to what some people might think, the eradication of the self does not destroy individualism, our personality or make us into a mindless person. In fact, the eradication of the ego makes us become a vibrant and compassionate person, someone that has greater awareness of the suffering of others. In other words, we become much warmer, kinder, forgiving, tolerant, conscientious, generous, contemplative and we are become a joy to be with. The cutting of the ego or the ‘I’ brings us towards awakening our true self, the Buddha nature within.
The Severed Headed Vajrayogini has two dakini attendants. From the trunk of her neck, there are three severed blood vessels spurting three jets of blood that flow into the mouths of her own decapitated head that she carries in her left hand and into the mouths of her two attendants. Tsem Rinpoche explained that the three jets of blood represent that her practice purifies the three psychic poisons of ignorance, hatred and desire. In turn, this leads to the attainment of the three bodies of a Buddha – the emanation body, the enjoyment body and the truth body. In other words, the severance of the ego via her tantric path leads to the purification of all delusions and ultimately, the attainment of Buddhahood itself.
The 7th Panchen Lama, Palden Tenpai Nyima is featured floating above because of his compilation of sadhanas from the ancient Sadhanamala texts. This includes a particular sadhana or collection of prayers, visualisation and mantra focused on Ucheyma. Incidentally, Dorje Shugden in many of his previous lives was a lineage master of the Vajrayogini tantras as well. These previous lives include the likes of the Mahasiddha Naropa and Tsarchen Losel Gyatso. The Lord and Lady of the Charnel Ground, known as Citipati, are one of the main protectors of the Vajrayogini Tantra.
Last of all, the ascetic meditator engaging in his devotional practices towards Ucheyma in the cemetery represents the ideal environment for tantric practice because such environments invoke deep renunciation towards worldly affairs and attachments. All Buddhist traditions advocate meditating on the bones of the deceased because it reminds us of our mortality and hence, we develop revulsion towards the transient nature of worldly or ordinary existence.

Severed Headed Vajrayogini is surrounded by some of her other forms, including Naro Kacho, two forms of Maitri Kacho, Sukhasiddhi and Vajravarahi. These forms of Vajrayogini are more commonly practised compared to Severed Headed Vajrayogini and are prevalent in most Tibetan Buddhist lineages. Though they may look different, all forms are indivisible from her true nature and all her practices can lead practitioners to enlightenment. Naro Kacho arose from a vision beheld by the Mahasiddha Naropa, Maitri Kacho from a vision beheld by Maitripa, and Indra Kacho from a vision beheld by Indrabodhi. The Lord and Lady of the Charnel Ground, known as Citipati, are one of the main protectors of the Vajrayogini Tantra.
Last of all, Dorje Shugden is a protector with special affinity with Vajrayogini practitioners because he arose from an incarnation lineage that includes Naropa and Tsarchen Losel Gyatso who practised and proliferated her Tantra.

Vajrayogini (Main figure)
(Top to bottom): Naropa, Vajradharma, Hero Vajradharma, Naro Kacho, Maitri Kacho (Flying Vajrayogini), Dorje Shugden and Vajravarahi.
Vajrayogini is a female tantric Buddha and she has many forms that are derived from various lineages. She mainly embodies the fully enlightened female (shakti) aspect of a Buddha. She belongs to the Mother Tantra classification, which refers to her practice concentrating on the wisdom aspect of the path to Buddhahood. She is also the principal dakini, the compassionate female guides and nurturers of tantric meditation who lead practitioners to enlightenment. In the thangka, the main figure in the middle is Naro Kechari as she arose from the pure vision of the Mahasiddha Naropa.
In Anuttara (Highest) Yoga Tantra, principal dakinis normally appear in union with a male consort and this can be seen in the cases of deities such as Guhyasamaja, Hevajra, and Kalachakra. In the case of Vajrayogini, she is the principal female Buddha of the Chakrasamvara Tantra and therefore, she is normally in union with Heruka Chakrasamvara. Furthermore, Vajrayogini is also considered a Vajradakini, who are yidams or meditational deities in their own right. Their practices have evolved from the main practices of their consorts, simplifying the otherwise complicated original practice by reducing it to a single-deity meditation without sacrificing the main benefits and features of the original. Hence, Vajradakini practices such as Vajrayogini and Nairatmya are derived from the original Chakrasamvara Tantra and Hevajra Tantra respectively.
In essence, Vajrayogini is known as “Sarvabuddha-dakini” or the Dakini Who is the Essence of all Buddhas. Her mantra is known as the King of All Mantras as it has the most powerful ability to bless us with spiritual attainments even without any visualisation or meditation. There are 11 Yogas in the generation stage of her practice and a few which have the power of transforming ordinary actions like sleeping, waking and ordinary daily tasks into a collection of merits. Ultimately, her Tantra offers salvation for ordinary practitioners at death with her special promise of guiding practitioners towards Kechara, or the Paradise of the Dakinis, in which we can continue deep practices to become a Buddha without fear, obstacles and interruptions.
Within Vajrayogini practice, soliciting the blessings of the lama and the lineage master are of paramount importance in order for our practice to bear results. Hence, the lama is visualised as the red Vajradharma with arms crossed at the heart, holding the vajra and bell. The lineage masters are visualised as Hero Vajradharma, holding a damaru and skullcup while cradling a khatvanga. Aside from the main Naro Kechari form, Vajrayogini also appears in the form of Maitri Kechari, who is known as Flying Vajrayogini, and arose from the vision of Maitripa. Another common form is known as Indra Kechari, or Vajravarahi, who arose from the vision of Indrabodhi.
Last of all, Dorje Shugden is a Dharma protector with a special affinity with Vajrayogini practitioners. This is because he himself arose from an incarnation lineage that includes the likes of Naropa, the progenitor of Naro Kechari practice, and Tsarchen Losel Gyatso who had practised and proliferated her Tantra and is listed as one the lineage masters invoked upon every day by Vajrayogini practitioners.

The Dākiṇī with the Essence of all Buddhas, Vajrayoginī
Her practice includes methods to end the otherwise repetitive states of Bardo and rebirth, by transforming the process into a journey, which may lead to full enlightenment. In preparation for which, Vajrayoginī further offers the omnipresent ability to reconstruct the nature of the most, mundane everyday experiences, such that they may reveal higher destinations, via the spiritual paths she may choose to reveal. [1] Vajrayoginī being defined as, “The Dākiṇī who is the Essence of all Buddhas”, [2] is amplified by scholar Miranda Shaw when she implied that this deity is no less than, the supreme nature of the very Tantric pantheon. No male Buddha, including her divine consort, Heruka-Cakrasaṃvara, further advances her in metaphysical implications. [3]
Vajrayoginī’s sādhanā originates from India circa 10/12th C, [4] when summoned as Heruka-Cakrasaṃvara’s Yab-Yum consort [5], with later forms including Vajrayoginī as “Solitary Hero”, she may be visualized with the deep red complexion of a 16-year-old female, whose stance is nude amidst a blazing fire of pristine awareness and most exalted wisdom. Her head is adorned with a crown of five skulls and upon her forehead, the third eye of wisdom is set vertically (represented here by an auspicious jewel). She drapes a necklace of fifty dried human skulls and is depicted with her traditional vajra-handled knife in her right hand; with a blood filled kapala in her left, she drinks with upturned head while looking above, toward the pure realm of Khechara. This seemingly gruesome gesture is actually symbolic of her clear light in great joy, known as “mahasukha” (the great bliss), [6] [7] thus the blood she drinks may be offered to us all as if a fine wine.
Resting on the left shoulder is a Katvanga staff as she stands tall with her two feet, trampling the bodies of red Kalaratri and black Bhairava (with heads bending backward), representing the embodiment of illusion and ego-awareness. The composition, all of which rests above a sun disc and multicolored lotus pedestal, she is rendered here after a thankga of Naropa Tradition (passed down from a special teaching of the Indian Mahasiddha Naropa). Vajrayoginī herself may be classified as the personification of “Wisdom” or “Mother” and her practice originates with the Chakrasamvara Cycle of Tantras, which is one of the five principal tantric practices of the Sakya School, although found in one form or another, she is included in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. [8]
Vajrayoginī also appears in versions from the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, with one popular system having the practitioner visualize themselves as Vajrayoginī, as such, their guru taking the form of Milarepa. [9] Thus depicted above the central deity here we see Milarepa on our right, with his great Guru Marpa left (whose guru was Naropa himself, and other great Indian masters). [10]
Vajrayoginī is a simplified, single most form of the female Buddha, who is otherwise a collection of alternate forms. From her sādhanās she is visualized in English terms as “Vajra Sow”, “Wrathful Lady”, “Fierce Black One”, and other such similar manifestations of female energy found in numerous iconographic renderings and traditions. Each feature of Vajrayoginī’s visualization conveys important spiritual concept. For example, her three eyes indicate her ability to see all (past, present and future); her red-colored body symbolizes the blazing of her ”inner fire”, and the curved knife she wields, demonstrates the power to sever the delusions and obstacles of her followers and of all living beings.

The current form of Naro Kacho Vajra Yogini appeared to the Indian Mahasiddha Naropa after he meditated intensely on her practice inside a cave. He beheld her glorious form in a vision. This unique form became known as Naropa’s Vajra Yogini or Naro Kacho, as it had never existed before. Later, in Tibet, His Holiness Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche also had visions of Vajra Yogini. His vision differed slightly from the vision of her that Naropa beheld. In the original Naro Kacho form, Vajra Yogini looks towards her pure land named Kechara. However in Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche’s vision, she looked straight at him, symbolic of the deity empowering him to bestow her practice to many people in order to benefit them. The practice of Vajra Yogini belongs to the Highest Yoga Tantra classification that leads to tremendous inner transformation and can even grant enlightenment within just one lifetime.

Vajra Yogini has many different forms and in each of these forms, the positioning of her sacred body, the various implements she holds and the expressions on her face have profound meaning into various aspects of enlightenment. The implements she holds, the expressions on her face, and her body symbolise specific aspects of enlightenment that suit people during a particular time and place according to their karma. So, therefore, Vajra Yogini’s pose, forms and emanations change over time in order to suit different karmically-connected practitioners. It will keep changing because enlightenment is fluid, compassionate and skilful. To gaze upon Vajra Yogini is to look at a complete ‘roadmap’ to enlightenment as every aspect of her body is a manifestation of enlightenment. Therefore to have her form, picture, painting or statue is very blessed. We should make offerings to her daily diligently.
After the great Mahasiddha Naropa had served his guru the Mahasiddha Tilopa for 12 years, Tilopa conferred the Vajra Varahi (another form of Vajra Yogini) initiation with full instructions unto Naropa. Then, Naropa diligently meditated on Vajra Varahi and had a vision of her, and when she appeared to him directly, she appeared in the form of Vajra Yogini. Normally, when he engaged in the Vajra Yogini (Vajravarahi) practice, she was in the form of facing him directly, holding a skull cup and a curved flaying knife in front of her heart. One leg was up and one leg was down as in a dancing pose. That was the form of Vajra Yogini that he had meditated on to gain the highest attainments.
After he had meditated on Vajra Varahi and gained visions of her, she appeared to him in a different form, with her face looking up at Kechara Paradise instead of facing him directly. Her left hand holding the skullcup was thrust in the air and her right hand holding the curved flaying knife, also known as a cemetery knife was facing down at sentient beings or samsara to help beings cut their bonds to suffering. Her left leg was bent, and her right extended while standing in a pose of looking towards Kechara Paradise like she is about to take off there. This form signifies she will take you there and out of suffering. That form of Vajra Yogini became special and that was called Naro Kacho or the Vajra Yogini of Naropa. This Naropa’s Vajra Yogini was initiated to the Nepalese Pamtingpa brothers and they meditated diligently and this tradition of Naropa’s Vajra Yogini just became prevalent and took off from there. Naropa started initiating his other disciples as well into this special form of Vajra Yogini and she became known as Naropa’s Vajra Yogini till this day and it is considered a highly blessed lineage. That is the lineage we have now and most prevalent.
She is looking up because this Naropa’s Vajra Yogini is indicating she will lead her practitioners to her Kechara Paradise within one lifetime if you are diligent in her practice. Realizing enlightenment is harder for people in today’s world and needs more time during Kaliyuga degenerate period, she leads you to her paradise where you can practice undisturbed to Buddha-hood.
In this brilliant artwork, what you see is the Mahasiddha Naropa having a direct vision of Vajra Yogini. It’s the first time she has appeared to Naropa in this form. This form is associated with Naropa. Prior to Naropa, this form of Vajra Yogini did not exist. She in this vision is initiating him into this form (Naro Kacho) of herself indicating this form will be most efficacious now according to our karmic period. In the background, you will see a cave with a light in it because when Naropa used to meditate in that cave, it is said that from his body would emit a light and people could see it from afar. You can also see animals surrounding Vajra Yogini, they can feel her compassion and her great blessings and they are at peace around her.
Vajra Yogini brings peace, love, compassion, wisdom and freedom to everyone who practices her incredibly powerful tantra. Therefore, this artwork is a very beautiful representation of the time when Naropa had a vision of Vajra Yogini in this form for the first time and it is now known as Naropa’s Vajra Yogini. This artwork was offered to me as a gift from a very talented artist. I deeply appreciate this piece of visual spirituality very much.

I love this Vajrayogini and I believe this is the exact replica of the one in Kechara House. I believe this would be the biggest Vajrayogini statue in South East Asia if not the world. It is extremely sacred and I hope to be able to have a statue like that in my home…. Maybe not as big but something around 5-6 feet would be nice. I do hope that the existence of the Supreme Lady Vajrayogini would create the direct cause for her Tantra to proliferate here in Malaysia. May many practitioners gain her initiation, engage in her retreats, gain attainments and ultimately be led to her pure realm of Kechara Paradise.

So beneficial to have a big vajrayogini statue.
Wow I have had the blessings of actually meeting this Vajrayogini statue but had not known the amount of hard work and effort into preparing the arrival of this Vajrayogini statue. I had always thought it was one of the most beautiful statue of Vajrayogini I had ever seen and actually use this statue of Vajrayogini to visualise when I do my daily sadhana. I want to thank Rinpoche for allowing me to visit Rinpoche’s home so that I could receive the blessings from Vajrayogini. Hehe giving the offerings to the hard workers at the end of the arrival of Vajrayogini did not suprise me at all. Thank you Rinpochr for always being compassionate. I really enjoyed reading this post. I hope Rinpoche is feeling better.
Vajra Yogini looks so magnificent and beautiful! I feel so blessed just by looking at this most powerful Lady in the universe being invited to Rinpoche’s residence in the video.Thank you Rinpoche for bringing Her here and may all of us will have the merits to enter into Her sacred practice.
Kechara House and its members are ever-ready and pleased to welcome the home-coming of the stunning Bliss Queen Vajrayogini, whereby Kh and its members will always be blessed by her presence! Vajrayogini,s practiceis most suitablefor today’s degenerate age, with the Bliss Queen manifesting at the most suitable time for Kechara and its enthusiastic members. This said highest yoga tantra’s practice is to change people’s strong mundane’sdesirous attachments to the ultimate desire to gain “Enlightenment”. Like Rinpoche said, “We are fortunate to even gaze upon her most sacred form… May everyone be able to enter into thepractice of this sacred Path one day soon.”

Isn’t it wonderful that the lovely Vajrayogini, the great Maha Yogini, supreme Buddha lady for these degenerate times, now reside in both Tsem Ladrang and Kechara House gompa? Such great effort was put into the setting up of her altar and in preparing to welcome her and setting up the statue!Great teamwork indeed!
May her blessings continue to shower on all who come into her presence and may they reach out far and wide.
Wow i wish i can have one in my house too
Stunning and powerful statue of Vajrayogini! Everytime i see a vajrayogini statue or images, it chills me yet i felt warmth in myself. Was really really fortunate to have my hair and nails in the statue. Thank you so much for letting us be in Rinpoche’s mandala.
Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing.We are glad to be able to witness such an auspicious event within our life time.We are also very grateful that our dear Rinpoche was so compassionate to give my family members a chance to have their hair and nails to be inserted in the holy body of the holy Varja Yogini during the consecration process.
May our dearest Guru be blessed with long live to spread the holy Dharma.
Thank you Rinpoche for your kindness in order to have Ruchok’s of hair and nails to be inserted into the holy Vajra Yogini statue which is very important to Rinpoche. May all the sentient beings be bless from Rinpoche’s kindness and Vajra Yogini.
第一次在GOMPA遇见金刚瑜伽母,很惊喜,佛像既然有这样美丽,特别和摩登。过后才知道至高无上的神圣金刚瑜伽母佛也是仁波切的喜爱之一。最近也发觉蛮多佛友很喜欢临请金刚瑜伽母佛像结缘,让今世留下印记。目前我喜欢金刚瑜伽母但又没有那种冲动,总觉得还没有准备好结缘,应该时间还未到,还要继续加倍修佛。还是随缘吧!
感恩仁波切把金刚瑜伽母带来马来西亚让我们可以修佛和结缘。
Thank you Rinpoche’sharing.we are really fortunate to have Rinpoche to perform the special Varjayogini
Ritual to get Varjayogini’s blessing Rinpoche always think of how to take care the sentient being, the students, their families, relatives, friends , animals…etc..Rinpoche always think of how to help us to clear our obstacles and our sprituality path progress…Thank you Rinpoche’s pure kindness!!
The Auspicious moment of Rinpoche inviting Vajrayogini home, this is the statue Rinpoche invited home to Petaling Jaya and now in KFR. It’s really excited to see this auspicious and excited event
Having A Vajrayogini statue is a all time dream of Tsem Rinpoche, just the name of the Buddhist association that Rinpoche created, you’ll know how much Rinpoche’s love towards her. Kechara is the name of the organization and Kechara Paradise is the name of the first department Rinpoche created. Kechara means Vajrayogini’s heaven. This 8 foot Vajrayogini statue is just simply amazing, with her standing right in the room and you’ll always be protected.
Dear Rinpoche, thanks for sharing the video for us that make us feel we are also taking part in the process of inviting Our Sacred and Stunning Queen : Vajra Yogini to Rinpoche Mandala.
May we can done all the preliminary practice hence gain more Merits to get closer to Vajra Yogini practice and her Kechara Paradise…

Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us about beautiful vajrayogini statue.
Wow, this is such a beautiful statue Rinpoche. And with so many blessings. And i was actually surprised about the number of people who actually put their nails and hair into the statue, amazing.
This is fantastic and wonderful, that all sentience beings was blessed by this Vajrayogini statue all the times 🙂 When I looks on this video and the pictures of Vajrayogini, it is feeling so blessed, comfortable and my mind feel so peaceful.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this meaningful nice post.

Vajrayogini is truly very powerful, not to say about her prayers, of course they are too very powerful. We are very lucky to able to have our hair or nail put into the holy Stupa , I would like to thank Rinpoche for the kindness that has been given to us throughout all these years.
感谢仁波切把金刚瑜伽母带来马来西亚,让我们可以与这位证悟者接下这个缘。
Vajra Yogini is a very powerful being. Her practice brings enlightenment within mere lifetimes. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to see even an image of her and I rejoice for her arrival at the Ladrang.
Wow. Such a beautiful VajraYogini statue. We are so fortunate and bless to be able to see such holy statue. A big Thank You to Paul and his whole dedicated team in inviting VajraYogini back. Hence we have the opportunity to offer up our hair/nail to be inserted together with other holy items. Thank You Rinpoche for sharing.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us these beautiful statue. How fortunate for us to have a powerful Buddha Vajaryogini here in Malaysia I think is better than a wish granting jewel because this Buddha can lead us to enlightenment , she can release us from all the suffering in samsara . Thank you Rinpoche for giving us the best.
wow, that is such a beautiful statue and i hope Rinpoche is happy with her for a very long time. thank you to all the people that helped and got the statue to Rinpoche. thank you Rinpoche for sharing this

Wow,I couldn’t believe I am watching the whole process and the wonderful people who made the facinating and beautiful beadwork of her dress. It must have taken incredible eyesight for such fine work. Thank you very much. I feel so blessed already watching the video and having a glimpse of such a powerful being though in a picture. I hope to be able to pay my respect in person to her. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu to Rinpoche and each and everyone for giving us this opportunity to see this. Thank you.
Dear Kathy, Yes you can visit Her. We have the exact same image in Kechara House main prayer hall. Please go see and pay respects. It would be excellent for you. http://www.kechara.com TR
The first time i heard about Vajrayogini was in ’95 / ’96 when one of Rincpohe’s student built a chapel for VY in her home. I was honoured to be able to make the traditional torma offerings for the first time to the Queen though the i didn’t get the colour right! It was supposed to be red, Rinpoche joked that VY can have different ‘flavour’. And this knowledge had stucked with me till this today.
I’m really honoured to be involved with the preparation in inviting our magnificent 8′ VY this time round. We are not inviting a statue into Rinpoche’s residence but a holy being.
Paul and his team in KD and KSA did a wonderful job in making this statue. All her iconography is so immaculate. Everyone played a part from the preparation of the mould to the rolling of mantras to the preparing potpourri to the burning of thumb drives with images and mantras etc, creating the causes to be closed to VY.
May i never be parted with VY in all my lives. May more homes be blessed with the presence of VY sacred image.
The video really brought the whole experience alive – thank you Seng Piow for diligently following the process and recording every step of the way. How special and fortunate we are to have Vajrayogini here with us – as she always has been!
Actually, it is not that Rinpoche needs large statues – all these statues that are invited into the organisation and especially into Rinpoche’s private residence are entirely for the benefit of people in and around the Dharma organisation. For every day that offerings and prayers are made to this altar, the merits go back towards the organisation. Rinpoche has explained this to us many times. Imagine, how kind the teacher is that he would do this all for the sake of people being able to collect merit and goodness, and for the sake of their spiritual development.
Do watch the video and see her come alive … and know that there are also many opportunities for each one of us to also invite Vajrayogini home through the amazing statues and images made available by the outlets, KD and KSA.
The Vajrayoigini statue itself is very holy but more because it has entered Rinpoche’s place which is similar to entering the mandala of the Buddha.
Whereas, our own mandala ie home represents our own aspiration. Majority of our aspirations are having relationship, getting married, money, kids, and etc. We should reflect at our own results as it tells us very much on our attachments which will bring us nowhere at the end of our life.
May I never be parted from my guru in this life and all future life
Dear Rinpoche,Vajrayogini = Vajravarahi?.
We are very blessed and fortunate to have Her in Kechara due to the kindness of our Guru, H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche.
May we all be able to enter into Her practice soon.
Thank you, Rinpoche!
Like this…. no… I LOVE this. Vajra Yogini is absolutely beautiful. What an amazing blessing for you all who are filling space in her holy body!! May many many blessings abound throughout the world, and all the realms. I rejoice in all the hard work Rinpoche and Kechara puts in… huuuge thanx
She is so divine! Such a supreme holy being! It is wonderful that we all have a chance to meet her and understand her existence and teachings. Without Rinpoche, none of this is possible. I was told it was regarded as a very sacred practice and even in some holy places they have to hide her image.
I am extremely honored and lucky to be able & be a part to “serve” the supreme lady Vajrayogini and thankful that Rinpoche had given me the chance to do so. Now so so many people are blessed.
Thankyou dear Rinpoche!
VY is magnificent statuette, towering and resplendent with beads and ornaments.
We are so lucky to have her holy presence here in Malaysia thanks to the foresight and hard work of H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, Spiritual Guide to Kechara House Buddhist Association.
Thanks to Rinpoche for your kind offer and introducing us to the Great Lady Vajrayogini.And also thanks to the team that make this whole event possible.
How fortunate for us to have Buddha Vajrayogini, the most powerful Tantric yidam of our time to reside here in Malaysia, and that her lineage and tradition is alive.
May we all have the good fortune to be protected by her always, and to receive her practice of the swift path to enlightenment.
Thank you Rinpoche for inviting her here, and also kudos to the team for their hard work. Also, thank you Seng Piow for this video!!!
This is so incredible. I’m extremely grateful to His Eminence, Beng Kooi and Sharon Saw and everyone else who helped in assisting me to get Chilepupper’s remains and photo to Ladrang and that they have been included in Sacred Vajrayogi. What a wonderful thing, I’m in tears (of joy) Chilepupper was such a good boy and such a loving intelligent dog, I know this is going to benefit him and all the other beloved pets as well as the people and the earth included. This has made my entire year! Thank you so much for sharing this. I brought Chile’s remains first to India, expecting to come to Malaysia directly from India but had to return to the states and then travel back to Malaysia to deliver them to Beng. Chile made 2 round-the-world trips in order to have this opportunity!!
Vajra Yogini is the most powerful being in the universe according to our karma at this degenerate age. Her practice can and will bestow supreme attainments within 7 short lifetimes. We are fortunate to even gaze upon Her most sacred form, hear Her sacred name and understand slightly Her sacred purpose. May everyone enter into the practice of this sacred path one day soon. TR
