"Vajrasatva (Sanskrit: वज्रसत्त्, Tibetan: རྡོ་རྗེ་སེམས་དཔའ། Dorje Sempa, short form is རྡོར་སེམས། Dorsem, Монгол: Доржсэмбэ)[1] is a bodhisattva in the Mahayana, Mantrayana/Vajrayana Buddhist traditions. In the Japanese Vajrayana school of Buddhism, Shingon, Vajrasatva is the esoteric aspect of the bodhisattva Samantabhadra and is commonly associated with the student practitioner who through the master's teachings, attains an ever-enriching subtle and rarefied grounding in their esoteric practice. In Tibetan Buddhism Vajrasatva is associated with the sambhogakāya and purification practice."

The Event
The Institut Vajra Yogini website says, "Yangsi Rinpoche is currently Director of Maitripa College, a Buddhist university affiliated with the FPMT, in Portland, USA. For nearly 20 years, he has given us the great joy of coming to teach at the Institute every summer.
"Because of restrictions on flights from the United States, there is little chance that Rinpoche will be able to attend the Institute this year. For his part, he hopes to return as soon as possible, but for the moment we are obliged to adapt the usual programme in order to maintain this important practice time of the summer.
"In consultation with Rinpoche and Geshe Tenzin Loden, we have decided to continue the retreat."

"Yangsi Rinpoche (President) was recognized as the reincarnation of Geshe Ngawang Gendun, a renowned scholar and practitioner from Western Tibet, at the age of six. Rinpoche trained in the traditional monastic system for over 25 years, and practiced as a monk until the age of 35.
"In 1995 he graduated with the highest degree of Geshe Lharampa from Sera Je Monastery in South India. He then completed his studies at Gyume Tantric College, and, in 1998, having the particular wish to benefit Western students of the Buddhadharma, Rinpoche came to the West to teach and travel extensively throughout America and Europe.
"Rinpoche served as a resident teacher at Deer Park Buddhist Center (Madison, Wisconsin) for five years, and is currently the Spiritual Director of Ganden Shedrup Ling Buddhist Center (San Juan, Puerto Rico), Dharma Friendship Foundation (Seattle, Washington), and Tara Buddhist Center (Nashville, Tennessee).
"He founded Maitripa College in 2005 in Portland, Oregon. Rinpoche is the author of Practicing the Path: A Commentary on the Lamrim Chenmo, published in 2003 by Wisdom Publications."
The Institut Vajra Yogini website says, "Geshe Tenzin Loden, the new resident teacher at the Institute, was born in Bylakuppe, in southern India in 1961. He entered Sera Je Monastery at the age of nine and continued his studies until he obtained the title of Geshe in 1994. He then spent six years in strict retreat.
"From 2003 to 2006, he occupied the post of chant master (omze), still in Sera Je, which he left at the end of 2007, at the request of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, to succeed Geshe Tenzin Dorje."
