Open to All Students who wish to Practice Deity Yoga

This year Khentrul Rinpoche did not offer the Kalachakra Empowerment Wang online. Due to the request of many students who wish to prepare to be eligible for the Vajra Yoga Kalachakra completion stage practice, Rinpoche has kindly agreed to bestow the Innate Kalachakra Jenang. 

In this weekend retreat, Rinpoche will introduce the practice to students who are completely new to the practice and offer more extensive information on the Kalachakra mandala taught by his teaching assistants.  While the Jonang lineage emphasizes the completion stage practice and does not focus on the extensive generation stage practices, they do have them.

This teaching cycle will gradually introduce you to the Kalachakra mandala and the more extensive Sadhanas for the Sahaja Kalachakra.

  • Who is this course for?

    This course is for those who need to practice the uncommon preliminary of Innate Kalachakra for their ngondro, deepen their practice, or focus on the generation stage.

  • What will you learn?

    You will be introduced to the unique features of the Kalachakra mandala of enlightened deities and how they can be used to connect with your innate buddha-nature.

  • How will this benefit you?

    By bringing your mind closer to your buddha-nature, you establish a suitable ground for entering into the practice of the vajra yogas and ultimately achieving buddhahood.

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).
