Join us for a special evening with Shar Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö, a renowned Tibetan Buddhist master and scholar of the Kalachakra Tantra, at the historic St. Paul’s Chapel. In this sacred and contemplative space—just steps away from Ground Zero and on the cusp of the September 11th anniversary—Rinpoche will guide participants through an evening of teaching, meditation, and interfaith reflection.
Rinpoche will offer a brief teaching on the Kalachakra vision of the Golden Age—a time of harmony, wisdom, and compassion—and explore how we might embody and cultivate this vision in the complexities of today’s world. Through dialogue and inner practice, this gathering welcomes people of all spiritual backgrounds to uncover shared values and deepen a collective aspiration for peace and transformation.
No prior experience with meditation or Buddhism is required. All are welcome—come with an open heart and a spirit of inquiry.

Khentrul RinpocheKhentrul 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).
