Anlässlich Khentrul Rinpoches 60. Geburtstages, eines besonderen Jahres, welches die Vollendung aller Sternzeichen und Elemente in einem Tierkreiszyklus mit sich bringt, wird Rinpoche Belehrungen über Geburtstage geben und wie wir an sie herangehen. Dies ist einer der wichtigsten Geburtstage in unserem Tierkreiszyklus, denn an diesem Tag kehren wir zu dem Zeichen und Element zurück, in dem wir geboren wurden. Oft assoziieren die Menschen diese Rückkehr zum Geburtszeichen als ein Jahr der Hindernisse. Um das zu verhindern, haben wir bereits
1) Khentrul Rinpoche Opfergaben für ein langes Leben dargebracht
2) Medizin-Buddha und Marichi Mantra angesammelt
3) ein Medizinbuddha-Mandala gebaut und 9 Statuen (7 Medizinbuddhas und 2 Taras) für den Garten anfertigen lassen, die rechtzeitig zu seinem Geburtstag eintreffen werden
Normalerweise werden Menschen an ihrem Geburtstag selbstbezogen. Rinpoche wird Belehrungen darüber geben, wie wir diesen Tag stattdessen aus einer buddhistischen Sicht betrachten können. Zudem wird er allen einen Wohlstands- und Langlebenssegen erteilen.
Zur Feier von Rinpoches 60. Geburtstag wird die Gemeinschaft Langlebensgebete für ihn rezitieren und Opfergaben der verschiedenen Sanghas darbringen.
Oft wird das Ende dieses Zyklus als ein Jahr der Hindernisse für die Person gesehen. Um das zu verhindern, rezitiert unsere Gemeinschaft Mantras.
Join us for a transformative empowerment. During this extraordinary week-long retreat, participants will connect with the essence of Shakyamuni Buddha through the study and practice of the 1000 Buddha empowerment (wang), puja, and sadhana. This is a rare opportunity, as it marks the first time Khentrul Rinpoche has offered this empowerment in such an auspicious location.
The Thousand Buddha Empowerment is rooted in the Nyingma Lineage, tracing back to King Songtsen Gampo, an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. Khentrul Rinpoche received this empowerment as a young child and recently renewed it through a personal transmission from H.E. Kathok Rigzin Chenpo. The main deity of this empowerment is Avalokiteshvara, representing the compassion, names, and mantras of 2200 Buddhas.
Connecting to the power of each of the 1000 Buddhas enhances your spiritual practice by linking you to all the Buddhas of this fortunate eon. Through this connection, we work towards realizing a Golden Age of Peace and Harmony.
Rinpoche has requested monks in different traditions bestow oral transmissions but as we are in India and everything is unreliable here please note the sessions that say “Potential” on the schedule

HOW THE ONLINE EMPOWERMENT WILL WORK
1) Register each attendee that will be receiving the empowerment. Choose your preferred language. You will receive a confirmation email. After that, you will be added to our online learning center at learn.dzokden.org.
2) Before the empowerment, you will receive information on some simple supplies you should get to help make the experience as authentic as possible. If you are not able to get them all don’t worry. They are symbolic and you can still receive the empowerment. More important you must understand what is happening. Just attending empowerment does not mean you receive it. You must know what is going on. To ensure everyone will receive empowerment, Rinpoche will kindly make his instruction booklet available to you as an eBook so you can follow along so you know exactly what is happening. You are not allowed to share this program book with anyone else or give them access to the empowerment. This is private for your personal use. Rinpoche typically gives the eBook out the night before but if this is a technical problem for you (you can’t read an eBook and be on zoom at the same time) please indicate on the registration form so we can work to accommodate you.
3) You will receive access to zoom for each of the sessions. While Khentrul Rinpoche wants the attendees there for every session, we have indicated the absolute required sessions so as not to have to a lot of emails about special circumstances. That said, he would prefer you are there for all of them
OFFERING DANA TO RINPOCHE
It’s customary at the end of empowerment for students to make an offering of Dana to the guru. As this is an online event, you can make the offering of Dana to Rinpoche here.

ABOUT
In celebration of the anniversary of when the Buddha Shakyamuni taught the Kalachakra in the form of the Deity at Amaravati Stupa in India, we will have teachings and recite Dolpopa’s prayers on Kalachakra.
In our modern times, many people prefer to be spiritual but not religious. Part of this is the desire to connect with the essence of our true nature that is beyond the limitations of any religion. This is exactly what the Kalachakra tantra teaches. Rinpoche will give teachings about why the Kalachakra tantra is a Rimé practice that is inclusive of all the world’s spiritual traditions. Even in the realm of Shambhala when the great Bodhisattvas realized the teachings of the Kalachakra tantra, they did so from backgrounds based on various wisdom traditions. Understanding the true deeper nature of the Kalachakra can help move us out of the limited thinking of lineage or religion and closer to our own sacred truth.

ABOUT
On the most auspicious day of Saka Dawa, Khentrul Rinpoche’s Root Guru entered Parinirvana. As a global community, we will do an online Guru Puja for Lama Lutrin in Zoom.
This is an incredible opportunity to honor the lineage masters. All meritorious activities done on this day are multiplied by 100,000 million times. Saka Dawa is a celebration of the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and Maha parinirvana. Guru Puja is a most profound practice and we can think of all the masters up through Lama Lobsang Trinley and Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche that have made these teachings available to us know. The Guru Puja practice encompasses all of the Dharma path to enlightenment. It contains the complete, ground, path and result. It is the highest of the Guru Yoga practices and so we are very fortunate to have a chance to practice it.
May this offering create the conditions for the Jonang Dharma to Flourish throughout all space and time.
