-Offer of the preparation Ritual Dances
Witness a traditional ceremony invoking local deities and offering goddesses to secure the sacred grounds—setting the stage for the Empowerment itself.
Why the Jonang Tradition Is So Extraordinary
The Jonang lineage has always stood apart for its living, experiential realization. From the earliest Mahasiddhas to the countless yogis hidden in the valleys of Jomanang, these masters embodied the completion-stage practices of the Six Vajra Yogas to cultivate direct perceptions of their Buddha-nature. It was this very potency of practice—and the abundance of yogins who reported clear, systematic, and spontaneous wisdom—that led Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen, after studying in many schools, to settle in Jomanang Valley and dedicate himself wholly to Kalachakra.
In our pre-teaching, Rinpoche will draw upon these remarkable examples—tales of hidden yogins who achieved profound realization through dedication and devotion—so that we, too, may be inspired to walk their footsteps and awaken the same innate clarity within ourselves.

Khentrul RinpocheMestre Kalachakra RimêKhentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö é o fundador e diretor espiritual da Dzokden. O Rinpoche é autor de vários livros como: Unveiling Your Sacred Truth, The Great Middle Way: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness, A Happier Life (em tradução para o português) e The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path (em tradução para o português). Khentrul Rinpoche passou os primeiros 20 anos de sua vida pastoreando iaques e cantando mantras nos platôs tibetanos. Inspirado pelos bodhisatvas, ele deixou sua família para estudar em uma variedade de monastérios sob a orientação de mais de vinte e cinco mestres em todas as tradições do Budismo Tibetano. Devido à sua abordagem não-sectária, ele recebeu o título de Mestre Rimê (não-sectário) e foi identificado como a reencarnação do famoso Mestre de Kalachakra Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. Embora seja central em seus ensinamentos o reconhecimento de que há grande valor na diversidade de todas as tradições espirituais encontradas nesse mundo, ele foca a tradição Jonang-Shambhala. Os ensinamentos de Kalachakra (“Roda do Tempo”) contêm métodos profundos para harmonizar nosso ambiente externo com o mundo interno de nosso corpo e mente, em última instância fazendo surgir a Era de Ouro de paz e harmonia (dzokden).
