Khentrul Rinpoche has kindly agreed to bestow the Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment to support all practitioners wishing to do purification practice, and in particular those working with the Kalachakra Ngondro. You can practice any Vajrasattva purification practice after receiving this empowerment although this specific form is semi-wrathful and connected to the Kalachakra preliminaries.
BENEFITS OF THE PRACTICE
“Vajrasattva practice allows you to uncover the reality of your Buddha-nature, which is currently hidden as a result of defilements created by attachment, aggression and delusion. Our current situation is like a dirty piece of glass. This practice provides you with a powerful method to wash away the dirt while being confident that underneath there is crystal clear glass which is completely pure and unstained. Through the practice of Vajrasattva, this confidence will steadily grow as you come closer and closer to discovering the innate purity of your most profound nature.” (Khentrul Rinpoche)
Chakra Purifying Guided Meditation
In the vajrasattva practice we are both cleansing our view and our karmas. This guided mantra practice will help you cleanse your subtle body which is a sacred spiritual mandala. This is not an instant cleansing of all your chakras. This is not a new age practice. This is an introduction to a practice that disciples can spend months or years doing.
KALACHAKRA CONNECTION
This practice is done in the Jonang Kalachakra Ngondro for purification. If you are studying and practicing this Ngondro, this is highly recommended.
WHO CAN ATTEND
There are no formal prerequisites. Previous Buddhist study and practice are very helpful but not required. Like all vajrayana practices you are taking refuge, bodhisattva vows and forming Samaya with the master.

Khentrul RinpocheNon-Sectarian Master of KalachakraKhentrul 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).
