The Tibetan Buddhist teachings of the Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo derive from two intact traditions: the Drikung Kaygu and the Nyingma lineages. Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo is the primary teacher, root guru, and enlightenment guide on this path. She is so empowered by the heads of both lineages: H.H Chetsang Rinpoche, of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, and H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche, of the Nyingma lineage.
Sunray offers regular programs and retreats open to all levels of students.
