On March 6, 2021, headed by the vajra master Lama Karma Chödzin the entire monastic community of the Tantric College began a series of drubchö rituals by opening the mandala of Hevajra, Lord Marpa’s main yidam deity, which was followed by other sadhanas, such as Buddhakapala, Chakrasamvara, Gyalwa Gyatso, Vajravarahi, and Kalachakra. All these sadhanas were performed one after another over a period of more than one month, while some parts were done for all the rituals simultaneously. This year’s drubchö rituals based on tantras of Lord Marpa’s tradition were completed on April 15 with a ceremony of dismantling the mandalas and scattering the sand into a river.
