Vajra Vega Empowerment

A Rare Opportunity to Connect with the Wrathful Kalachakra, King of Tantra

Dzokden is honored to announce a very rare and precious opportunity to receive the Vajra Vega Jenang (empowerment) with Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche in Singapore.

Vajra Vega is the wrathful form of Shri Kalachakra, the King of Tantra, and revered as the highest of all Dharma protectors. As the protector aspect of Kalachakra, Vajra Vega embodies the fierce and compassionate power needed to cut through the root of ignorance and guard practitioners on the path.

Through this empowerment, students will establish a sacred connection with Vajra Vega and will be empowered to engage in the Short Vajra Vega Sadhana.

Vajra Vega: The Supreme Protector

The essence of Vajra Vega arises from non-conceptual primordial wisdom, which manifests when the winds enter the central channel, cutting the root ignorance of conceptual thought. This profound state forms the basis upon which the Six Vajra Yogas emerge, making Vajra Vega inseparable from the ultimate path of realization in the Kalachakra Tantra. When we establish a wheel of protection with Vajra Vega, we are symbolically stopping the arising of dualistic appearances, and abiding within the non-conceptual wisdom.

Prepare for Death with Vajra Vega

Receiving Vajra Vega Jenang is not only a blessing for this life but also a preparation for what comes beyond. To recognize Vajra Vega in the Bardo after death is to recognize our own deepest truth. This empowerment provides us with a lifeline of protection and wisdom, guiding us toward liberation and awakening. While we must do our best to create karmic propensities to realize our own sacred truth during this life, if we do not then in the Bardo state after death, we may be able to recognise Vajra Vega in the sea of wrathful Deities and be liberated. Normally when a person becomes frightened the whole world slows down in perception. You may be more likely to recognize a deity like Vajra Vega whom is fierce and terrifying then a loving one you feel reassured by.

The oral transmission and practices included in this event.
–  Short Vajra Vega Sadhana
–  Praises to Vajra Vega

The Vajra Vega Wheel of Protection Sadhana itself is not part of this event.

However, as this is one of the practices our group does monthly on protector day to generate the conditions for the golden age, we will be compiling a list of committed students who wish to practice more deeply in the future. Rinpoche has shared that if enough disciples demonstrate sincere dedication to the Short Sadhana and express their intent, he may offer the restricted Vajra Vega Wheel of Protection Sadhana again, potentially in 2027.

Vajra Master

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).
