Program Instructor

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).

Yeshe Wangmo (Chloe Bregman)

Dzokden

=Yeshe Wangmo is the co-founder and CEO of Dzokden and a devoted practitioner of the Jonang Kalachakra lineage. She has dedicated her life fully to preserving, practicing, and supporting the transmission of these rare and precious teachings. Since 2015, she has studied closely with Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche, serving as a senior student, assistant instructor, and ritual coordinator. Since 2017, she has organized and assisted with Kalachakra Empowerments and major international teachings, arranging the majority of Rinpoche’s rituals and supporting the flourishing of the lineage worldwide. Yeshe Wangmo has received nearly every empowerment, transmission, and major teaching Rinpoche has offered, including the Second Vajra Yoga Transmission. She is an authorized teacher of the Jonang Kalachakra Ngondro and guides students with integrity, clarity, and deep reverence for the lineage. Her training reflects a genuine Rime spirit. In addition to her primary grounding in the Jonang tradition, she has received teachings and empowerments in the Gelug, Nyingma, Sakya, and Kagyu lineages. She has also trained in the Burmese Mahasi Sayadaw meditation tradition under Kenneth Folk, cultivating a strong foundation in insight practice. Earlier in her life, she undertook extensive study in yoga and contemplative disciplines, completing over 650 hours of yoga teacher training and teaching within the Kalachakra Tantra tradition. She also trained in meditation under John Yates (Culadasa). She currently resides at Tashi Gadu House in the United States, where she continues to serve the vision of a Golden Age rooted in authentic Dharma. With deep gratitude to her teachers — especially Segyu Chopel Rinpoche and Khentrul Rinpoche — she remains committed to ensuring these teachings endure and benefit future generations.
