Hi, I’m Lama Dechen Yeshe Wangmo, the founder of Jnanasukha Foundation, dedicated to preserving and sharing The Profound Path of the Dakini Heart Essence (zab lam mkha’ gro thugs thig) cycle of the Dudjom New Treasures (Dudjom Tersar). In 1992, Repkong Lama Tharchin Tsedrup Rinpoche enthroned me as a lama and lineage holder of this profound Vajrayana lineage.

Shortly afterward, Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche told me—casually as we were driving—that everything I would ever need was in The Dakini Heart Essence cycle. His words became the foundation of my life and the inspiration for establishing Jnanasukha a decade later.

With forty-seven years of Vajrayana study and practice, I value embodied learning and authentic connection for myself and those connected to me. Since 2009, I’ve led many pilgrimages to Tibet to deepen our ancestral ties in the Dharma and experience living Vajrayana cultures.

Born in Montreal, Canada, in 1949, I lived on the Big Island of Hawai‘i for thirty-four years and now make my home in Reno, Nevada.
