Dakini Mountain is the international retreat center of Ngakpa International founded by Pema Khandro Rinpoche. Ngakpa International is dedicated to making in-depth Buddhist education accessible and available to anyone who wants to study.

This is offered through a combination of online and in-person classes, trainings, retreats, one-on-one mentoring,and holistic healing programs. Dakini Mountain is the main event location.
It is also a Buddhist Power Center of Vajrayogini, the Female Tantric Buddha.

Pema Khandro introduced the vision of Dakini Mountain as a power center of Vajrayogini, the female Tantric Buddha, saying, “Vajrayogini is the symbol of an alternate form of power that is under-represented in our time – the power of altruistic love. She is the ultimate symbol of gender inclusivity as a female Buddha who embodies innate wisdom and disrupts confusion through fiery insight. Vajrayogini is venerated in every sect of Tibetan Buddhism and appears in the legends of the great masters of Buddhism as a catalyst towards awakening.”

Dakini Mountain will house a Vajrayogini statue that has been made and consecrated in Boudha, Nepal. It will be installed and blessed during the Dakini Mountain grand opening celebration on May 31st, 2020.

This vision for Dakini Mountain will only happen with the effort, dedication and the support of many people. Will you be one of those people? Will you help make Dakini Mountain a reality now and in the years ahead?

Thanks to people like you who have already supported Dakini Mountain, it is becoming a reality! 

Escrow was closed on February 22 of this year, 2019. Hooray! It was a long-awaited, major accomplishment. Thank you so much for your support! Now more support is needed to usher in the second phase of infrastructure.

Dakini Mountain is a pristine, mountainous, 35 acre parcel that already came with a valuable foundation of infrastructure, including a beautiful lodge, pond and grassy meadow.

This bounty has already made it possible to have 3 retreats take place in 2019 – a great and auspicious beginning!  Now, more infrastructure, new buildings, and support is critically needed for Dakini Mountain to continue. 

Help Dakini Mountain and its values of Harmony, Healing, Compassion, Gender Equality, Diversity and Ecological Sustainability flourish!! 

Phase 2: Building a Power Center
The next phase of developing Dakini Mountain includes technology needed for powering large scale events (electrically speaking) as well as the installment of the spiritual and inspirational power of the Vajrayogini shrine. In order to be able to open this beautiful place to the public, this also includes key aspects of legal and permitting milestones and a guest cabin for event leaders further making this space available to host events and creating further sustainability of this project.

Phase 2 Goals

$354,700 Total, including the following:

$100,000 – Solar System Upgrade.  Dakini Mountain is completely off the grid.  Doubling the capacity of the current system is needed for hosting larger groups.

$15,000 – Fire Clearing.  Northern California is a very high fire risk zone.  Brush clearing must be extensive and maintained to protect all structures.

$40,000 – Government Use Permits.  Local government laws and ordinances require a comprehensive permitting process.

$36,600 – Annual Insurance, Property Tax, and Propane Fees.

$6000 – 2019 Lodge and Facilities Upgrades.

$79,600 – Guest Cabin for teachers to come lead events including Pema Khandro Rinpoche, guest Lamas, other teachers and guests.

$7,500 – Installation of Vajrayogini statue and shrine to celebrate the feminine in Buddhism and foster the ideals of gender equality, harmony and compassion.

$69,000 – Other infrastructure expenses for 2019-2020 classes and retreats including website development and hosting, online meeting costs, accounting, printing, and other insurance needs.
Will you help make this project possible?

About the Teachers

This course and its curriculum have been designed by Pema Khandro Rinpoche, Tibetan Buddhist teacher, and scholar. She is an American born Lama who specializes in the tradition of Tibet’s Buddhist Yogis and the Dzogchen teachings. Ordained in the Nyingma lineage, enthroned as a tulku, and trained as an academic, Pema Khandro’s teachings celebrate the dynamic coalescence of tradition and the modern context.  Pema Khandro is the founder of Ngakpa International, Dakini Mountain Retreat Center, the Yogic Medicine Institute, and three residential centers. For more information visit www.PemaKhandro.org

Pema Khandro first taught the course in 2001. She has developed an online version of the course in order to give support and deep training to friends and students around the world, who may not be able to travel to attend in person.

The course will also be led by two of her senior students, Aruna Rig’dzin and Satya Shiva. Aruna and Satya have studied closely with Pema Khandro since 2001. They have attended this training five times, attended all of Pema Khandro Rinpoche’s courses and they trained intensively under her supervision. 

About the Training

The training includes a study of the postures for meditation, breathing techniques, the five key meditation techniques from Zhine, (also known “Calm Abiding), common obstacles to meditation, remedies for obstacles of meditation and more. We will also review the most important Buddhist teachings to support meditation practice – looking to the wealth of Buddhist philosophy for new perspectives on what is mind, how to work with thoughts and emotions, what is the body-mind connection and how body and mind can be harnessed for awakening.
