Kalachakra New Year & Wheel Turning Day: 24-Hour Global Prayer Celebration
Join us for a rare and powerful 24-hour continuous practice honoring the Kalachakra New Year—Kalachakra Wheel Turning Day, one of the most sacred and auspicious times in the Kalachakra tradition. This holy day commemorates the anniversary when Buddha Shakyamuni manifested as Kalachakra and taught the Kalachakra Tantra to the Bodhisattva King Suchandra, setting in motion the lineage that would flourish in Shambhala for the benefit of all beings.
A Day of 100 Million Times Merit
Celebrated during Ngakpa Dawa, this is an extraordinarily powerful karmic window. It is taught that all virtuous actions performed on this day are multiplied 100 million times.
For this reason, in the great Jonang monasteries, monks traditionally engage in two weeks of intensive Kalachakra practice, performing generation stage sadhanas and elaborate Kalachakra pujas to accumulate vast merit and wisdom. We invite you to join in this same spirit of deep practice and collective aspiration.
Special Session with Khentrul Rinpoche
Khentrul Rinpoche will join us live for a special one-hour session of prayers and teachings, offering blessings and guidance on this most auspicious occasion.
Immediately following Khentrul Rinpoche’s session, we will gather with for a special one-hour tribute session honoring His Holiness Jigme Dorje Rinpoche, who recently entered Parinirvana. This session will include prayers, devotional songs, recitation of his name mantra, and video reflections along with storiees celebrating his life and enlightened activity. In this way, we unite remembrance, devotion, and merit-making within the flow of this sacred day.
Join for Khentrul Rinpoche’s puja and participation:

Join Us for the White Dzambhala Puja to Create the Conditions for the Golden Age
The Golden Age of peace, abundance, and spiritual realization does not manifest through wishes alone—it arises through the power of our aspirations, merit, and enlightened activity.
White Dzambhala, the wealth deity manifestation of Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), embodies the compassionate activity of prosperity—supporting beings by creating the conditions needed for spiritual practice, stability, and the flourishing of Dharma in the world.
We warmly invite you to participate in this White Dzambhala Puja to help create the outer, inner, and secret causes for the flourishing of Dzokden Dharma and Khentrul Rinpoche’s global vision for a harmonious world rooted in Shambhala values.
This practice supports the material and spiritual wealth needed to actualize the Dzokden Kalachakra projects—temples, retreat centers, Dharma communities, and the conditions for lasting peace and awakening.
While worldly effort is necessary, Rinpoche continually emphasizes the importance of pujas and merit generation to magnetize the right resources and remove obstacles. Together, we will make offerings to Dzambhala to support the health, wealth, and success of all practitioners dedicated to the Dharma path.
This puja is also dedicated to the sponsors of the Golden Age Shrine at Dzokden Tashi Gadu in Sacramento, and to all those helping to manifest the causes of an enlightened society.
Important Note About Participation
This is a restricted practice, open only to those who have received the White Dzambhala empowerment.

Note: This is a restricted practice open to those who have received the Vajra Vega Wheel of Protection Practice from Khentrul Rinpoche.
Everyone needs protection at various levels to be successful on the spiritual path. Who is successful depends on one’s determination and the protector’s level of power.
Vajra Vega, the wrathful form of Shri Kalachakra and the King of the Wrathful Deities, is the protector aspect in Kalachakra. The essence of Vajravega is that he represents the non-conceptual primordial wisdom that arises when the winds enter the central channel. This is the method by which the root ignorance of conceptuality is cut. It is also the basis or container where the precious six vajra yogas arise. This is a powerful practice we can do for the Golden Age to arise and to clear away obstructing forces for our Dharma path. Vajra Vega is considered the King of Spiritual Protection, and his 60 retinues are incredibly powerful.
We need protection on all levels to be successful in our Golden age Aspiration and our Dharma path. We are making the time and effort to add this practice in. If anyone has the good fortune to have been given this practice, then we encourage you to join.

Join Us for the Monthly Black Dzambhala Puja to Remove Obstacles to Prosperity and Dharma Activity
True abundance flows not only from external effort but from the deep inner work of purifying karmic debt and obstacles. The Black Dzambhala, a wrathful manifestation of compassion, swiftly removes hindrances to wealth and spiritual progress, enabling the positive conditions needed for the flourishing of the Golden Age.
We invite you to participate in this monthly Black Dzambhala Puja to help clear the karmic and energetic blockages that limit the flow of resources—both material and spiritual—into your life and the broader Dzokden vision. This practice supports the manifestation of Khentrul Rinpoche’s global aspirations for peace, harmony, and spiritual awakening rooted in Shambhala values.
In alignment with Rinpoche’s guidance, this puja generates the merit necessary to magnetize support for the Dzokden Kalachakra projects around the world—temples, retreat centers, Dharma communities, and all the sacred infrastructure needed to usher in the Golden Age. By offering to Black Dzambhala, we not only request the removal of our own obstacles, but also those impeding the collective Dharma work of all sincere practitioners.
This is a restricted practice and open only to those who have received the Black Dzambhala empowerment.

This special practice of Green Dzambhala originates directly from the Kalachakra Tantra and serves as a complementary practice for those engaged in Kalachakra studies. The practice is specifically designed to align with the elemental systems and Buddha family schemas that form the foundation of the Kalachakra mandala and teachings.
To receive the complete blessings and effectiveness of this profound practice, practitioners must either receive or commit to receiving the full Kalachakra seven empowerments of the growing child. This prerequisite ensures proper spiritual preparation and lineage connection.
As with all Kalachakra teachings the practice can be divided in Outer, Inner and Ultimate.
Outer Aspect – The Four External Abundances
Externally, this practice facilitates connection with four fundamental abundances:
1- Dharma Abundance The most essential wealth is the Dharma itself, as it provides the gateway to liberation from the suffering of samsara. True wealth cannot be found within the cyclic existence of samsara.
2 – Material Wealth Once established on the authentic Dharma path of bodhicitta (awakened heart), practitioners learn to engage with material wealth as a skillful means to benefit others rather than for personal gain.
3 – Enjoyment of Desires The practice transforms our relationship with desires and sensory experiences, using them as stepping stones on the spiritual path to benefit self and others.
4 – Liberation The ultimate abundance—complete freedom from suffering—represents the final goal that encompasses and transcends all other forms of wealth.
Inner Aspect – Internal Dimensions and Benefits
The Ten-Deity Mandala System
This practice centers around a mandala of ten deities, each corresponding to specific aspects of inner reality. The practice works to stabilize and harmonize the ten vital winds (pranas) within the subtle body, thereby bestowing internal abundance.
Chulen
Internally, this is classified as a chulen practice—a category of Vajrayana Buddhist techniques focused on extracting subtle essences for spiritual nourishment and longevity.
For those with sufficient foundation and experience, this practice can bestow:
-Physical Abundance: Enhanced bodily health, vitality, and strength
–Mental Abundance: Greater mental clarity, emotional stability, and cognitive strength
Ultimate Aspect – Tantric Integration
The practice exemplifies the tantric principle of transformation, where ordinary experiences of wealth and enjoyment become vehicles for spiritual realization. Rather than rejecting material aspects of life, the practice teaches how to engage with them skillfully as means to liberation.
This sophisticated approach reflects the mature understanding that in advanced Buddhist practice, all experiences—including those typically considered worldly—can serve as supports for awakening when approached with proper view and intention.
Green Dzambhala practice represents a complete system that addresses both external circumstances and internal spiritual development. By working with the fundamental energies of abundance, practitioners develop a balanced relationship with wealth while progressing toward ultimate liberation. The practice’s integration with Kalachakra teachings ensures its effectiveness within a comprehensive spiritual framework.
*This is a restricted practice and open only to those who have received the Green Dzambhala empowerment.
