The Drukpa Lineage or Lineage of the Dragons has the legacy of guiding countless beings on the path of Dharma and ultimate enlightenment for more than 800 years.
Yet with the passage of time, several important teachings and traditions of the lineage, such as the Yogini tradition within the Drukpa Lineage have been lost. The teachings of the three mad yogis: i.e. Tsangnyon Heruka (1452–1507), Druknyon Kunga Legpa (also known as Drukpa Kunleg, 1455–1529) and Unyon Kunga Sangpo (1458–1532) are almost disappearing. Many Drukpa followers neither know much about the Three Divine Madmen nor about other enlightened masters of the Drukpa Lineage such as Gyalwa Yangonpa (1213–1258) and Gyalwa Lorepa (1187–1250), even many of the monks and nuns do not know their biographies. His Holiness said in one of the commitee meetings that “We, the holders and followers of the glorious Drukpa Lineage, have the great responsibility of preserving and ensuring that this spiritually rich lineage continues to flourish, internally by upholding the sacred practices and externally through Live to Love activities.”
The various enlightened masters and various monastic bodies seldom had the opportunity to work together to promote the lineage due to lack of proper communication among the different masters and various monasteries and nunneries.
Generally, every ADC will be organized by and taking place at a different monastery within the Drukpa Lineage. The First ADC (6th-15th April 2009), took place in Kathmandu, Nepal, on Druk Amitabha Mountain, near the holy Swayambhunath Stupa. In view of the facilities and the availability of different resources on Druk Amitabha Mountain, the Second ADC (6th-15th April 2010) will also be taking place in Druk Amitabha Mountain, this time, in the fully completed Naro Assembly Hall, equipped with state d'art audio and light system and better equipments.
