The Vajra Yoga robe and black velvet hat are custom made for each order. They will be sent to Dzokden Kalapa for the First Vajra Yoga retreat starting on July 27, 2026.
----------
We are happy to announce that one of Rinpoche’s long-held aspirations has come to fruition: special tantric robes for Vajra Yoga students. Rinpoche personally designed the robe and hat. He asks that both be worn at all Dzokden events including sangha gatherings, empowerments, teachings, pujas, tsoks, and other special occasions.
The Dzokden Vajra Yoga robe and hat are only for students who have received (or will receive this summer) the First Vajra Yoga and above. When a student receives the Four Higher Empowerments, they are considered to be a senior ordained tantrika. However, Rinpoche prefers to wait until the student moves to the First Yoga before allowing them to wear the Dzokden Vajra Yoga robe.
Rinpoche asks that all students wear their robe and hat for the Vajra Yoga empowerment and retreat at Kalapa in July-September 2026. YOUR ORDER MUST BE PLACED BY FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2026 (see below) in order to have your robe made, shipped and available for the start of the retreats in July. No orders received after May 1 will be accepted. This deadline has been set by the manufacturer.
It is Rinpoche’s request that the tantric sangha presentation as a group be clearly improved. He has established clear guidelines regarding when and how to properly wear these sacred garments. You will receive these guidelines after your order is placed. Rinpoche expects his Vajra students to respect and follow these guidelines
