About KuruKulla

“If you recite sixty million mantras with a mala made of red sandalwood. You will become the wheel-turning King of the six realms and tame all sentient beings.” – Kurukulla Tantra

Kurukulla, the powerful Dakini and emanation of Red Tara, is the "cause of wisdom" and the embodiment of enlightened feminine energy. Her unique ability to magnetize wisdom, wealth, health, and success makes her a revered figure across traditions. This semi-wrathful goddess is known for her transformative power to subdue negative forces while attracting blessings. Kurukulla’s vibrant red energy symbolizes her dynamic force, capable of drawing positive resources and dispelling obstacles. Invoke her to enhance spiritual growth, protect against misfortune, and manifest abundance. Through her practices—ranging from divination and amulets to controlling negative forces—Kurukulla empowers you to magnetize your desires, overcome challenges, and attract prosperity. Her practice sadhanas are associated with developing many mundane siddhis such as the power to restore site, the power swift feet, power of Invisibility, the power of rejuvenation, the power to levitate, the power to move freely through the earth and the power to have command over the spirits of the underworld. May KuruKulla, help us magnetize all the desired conditions for the flourishing of the Golden Age in our world, the flourishing of Kalachakra and the enlightenment of all sentient beings.

Khentrul Rinpoche

Jonang Kalachakra and Rimé Master

Khentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and spiritual director of Dzokden. Rinpoche is the author of Unveiling Your Sacred Truth, The Great Middle Way: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness, A Happier Life, and The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path. Rinpoche spent the first 20 years of his life herding yak and chanting mantras on the plateaus of Tibet. Inspired by the bodhisattvas, he left his family to study in a variety of monasteries under the guidance of over twenty-five masters in all the Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Due to his non-sectarian approach, he earned himself the title of Rimé (unbiased) Master and was identified as the reincarnation of the famous Kalachakra Master Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. While at the core of his teachings is the recognition that there is great value in the diversity of all spiritual traditions found in this world; he focuses on the Jonang-Shambhala tradition. Kalachakra (wheel of time) teachings contain profound methods to harmonize our external environment with the inner world of body and mind, ultimately bringing about the golden age of peace and harmony (dzokden).
