“In Buddhist history there have been numerous great masters who by arduous effort, establish contagious enlightenment centers, thereby benefiting countless sentient beings.” -- Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche

Pema Sangzin Khandro

Pema Sangzin Khandro, is the founder of Vajra Dakini Nunnery. Pema Sangzin Khandro, also known as Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo, is an extraordinary spiritual teacher of three wisdom paths – the AniYunwiwa (Cherokee), Drikung Kagyu and Nyingma (Tibetan Buddhist).

“The commitment to benefit all beings still rings out in Sarnath and Lumbini…. We are most fortunate in connecting to a long line of beings committed to attaining Buddhahood and eliminating the suffering of all beings.” -- Pema Sangzin Khandro
Khenmo Drolma

Khenmo Drolma is the first Western Abbess/Abbott, as well as the first fully ordained nun, in the Drikung Kagyu lineage. She has studied with Pema Sangzin Khandro for over 20 years, and received monastic and shedra training at Gampo Abbey.

“I have appointed Khenmo Drolma as Abbot due to her unique qualifications to lead this innovative community.” -- HH Chetsang Rinpoche

“I appoint Khenmo Drolma as Abbess of Vajra Dakini Nunnery………………” -- Pema Sangzin Khandro

“Our world and all that is alive responds to prayer like a tuning fork. The nuns of Vajra Dakini will maintain prayers for peace and harmony among all beings. Monastics are ordinary people who dedicate their lives to exploring how to embody compassion through mindful community life.” -- Khenmo Drolma
