There are different Pure Lands associated with different Buddhas. Pure Dakini Land (Skt: kechara) is similar to the Pure Lands of Tushita and Sukhavati, except that Heruka and Vajrayogini's Pure Land is the only one in which beings can receive teachings on Highest Yoga Tantra and put them into practice. Those who are very old and infirm reaching her Pure Land will no longer experience the sufferings of old age and sickness. All signs of their old age will disappear and they will be transformed into sixteen-year-olds of great beauty and vitality, enjoying an endless life span. All the enjoyments they desire will appear spontaneously. They will never be reborn in samsara again, unless they choose to for compassionate reasons. Everyone who reaches this Pure Land will receive teachings on Highest Yoga Tantra directly from Heruka and Vajrayogini and thereby attain enlightenment quickly.

Vajrayogini's mandala is unique because it does not follow the usual madla palace construction. Its two crossed triangles are each bordered by a yellow edge and the two protruding wings at each side contain small white bliss whirls. This geometric structure is placed in the middle of a circle of swirling vine like patterns surrounded by a ring of lotus petals (Skt: padmavali). In an outer circle around that is the light coloured circle of the eight great charnel grounds. Surrounding that is the small blue circle with alternating gold vajras and gold lines (Skt.: vajravali). The outermost circle is composed of the five colored flames (Skt.: jvalavali) of the fires of pristine awareness.
