* Expnation of Vajradhatu Mandala by Dharmapala Thangka Centre

Recognized both by Tibetan Buddhists and by other spiritual practitioners and scholars as a preeminent teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, he was a major, albeit controversial, figure in the dissemination of Tibetan Buddhism to the West, founding Vajradhatu and Naropa University and establishing the Shambhala Training method.

Upon the death of Chögyam Trungpa, the leadership of Vajradhatu was first carried on by his American disciple, appointed regent and Dharma heir, Ösel Tendzin ( Thomas Rich ), and then by Trungpa's eldest son and Shambhala heir, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

Ties with Vajradhatu were further weakened with the physical relocation of Vajradhatu's main center to Halifax, and then by Trungpa's death in 1987.

Eventually, the Vajradhatu organization was renamed Shambhala International by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

Following Trungpa's death, senior Kagyu lineage holder Tai Situ Rinpoche recommended that he himself take over leadership of Vajradhatu in conjunction with Trungpa's half brother Damchu Tenphel Rinpoche, who resided in Tibet.

Trungpa entered the USA in 1970, established the Vajradhatu organization in 1973, and then in 1974, established Naropa Institute under the Nalanda Foundation.

Varela became a Tibetan Buddhist in the 1970s, initially studying, together with Keun-Tshen Goba, with the meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, founder of Vajradhatu and Shambhala Training, and later with Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, a Nepalese meditation master of higher tantras.

"< ref > Interview for Vajradhatu Sun, 1985 < sup ></ sup ></ ref > Bruce Newman, a long-time student of Tulku Urgyen's son, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, describes the possible responses of the student to the pointing out instruction:

Vajradhatu was the name of the umbrella organization of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, one of the first Tibetan Buddhist lamas to visit and teach in the West.

In 1972 Trungpa identified Thomas F. Rich ( an American with Buddhist name Ösel Tendzin ) as his dharma heir, and in a formal ceremony on August 22, 1976, Trungpa appointed Rich as Dorje Gyaltsap, Vajra Regent, and Director of the First Class of Vajradhatu.

During this period, he conducted thirteen Vajradhatu Seminaries, three-month residential programs at which he presented a vast body of Buddhist teachings in an atmosphere of intensive meditation practice.

In 1973, Trungpa established Vajradhatu, encompassing all his North American institutions, headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.

After the year 2000, with the merging of the secular teachings of Shambhala and the Buddhist teachings of Vajradhatu into Shambhala Buddhism, completion of Shambhala Vajrayana Seminary ( which itself requires taking Buddhist refuge and bodhisattva vows, as well as Buddhist vajrayana samaya vows ) became a condition for receiving the highest Shambhala teachings, such as those of Werma and the Scorpion Seal Retreat.

When Vajradhatu was incorporated in Colorado in 1973, it consolidated Tail of the Tiger, Rocky Mountain Dharma Center, a retreat facility in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado ; and Karma Dzong, an urban meditation center in Boulder, Colorado.
