Das ist ein FREIES Event und ist Online und In-Person verfügbar.
Zum Ende des Jahres wird uns Khentrul Rinpoche durch einen Gedankenprozess führen, um zu verstehen, welche Art von Dharma wir praktizieren, aus welchem Grund und wie sich das in unseren Lebensprioritäten widerspiegelt. Wenn Sie die meisten Menschen fragen, werden sie sagen, dass sie Dharma praktizieren, um allen fühlenden Wesen zu nützen oder um aus Samsara herauszukommen. Vielleicht sagen sie, dass sie Achtsamkeit und Meditation praktizieren, um ihr Leben besser zu meistern und ihre Ängste zu reduzieren. Es gibt viele Gründe, warum sich Menschen für die Dharma-Praxis entscheiden. Diese Gründe können auf Weisheit und Mitgefühl beruhen oder auf samsarischen Motivationen. Rinpoche wird uns in einer Selbstreflexion zum Jahresende anleiten, damit wir tiefer in unseren eigenen Geist eindringen und unsere blinden Flecken in unseren Absichten aufdecken können. Indem wir unsere wahren Absichten in Bezug auf unsere Praxis entdecken, können wir im neuen Jahr die Möglichkeit schaffen, wirklich in eine tiefere Ebene der Praxis überzugehen und den Pfad achtsam und mit unterscheidendem Gewahrsein zu beschreiten.

Welcome to the Vajrapani Empowerment and Retreat
VAJRAPANI: Tame Your Demons
Tap into the power of all the Buddhas to tame your internal and external obstacles to realization. Vajrapani, the embodiment of the power of all the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times, is a fearless Bodhisattva of the tenth level and the guardian of the Buddhist tantras.
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow an extraordinary empowerment of Vajrapani known as the Demon Destroyer, and the practice that Lama Lutrin may have used in the retreat where he cured himself of Leprosy. This empowerment and retreat will help practitioners embrace their fierce power within to tame the obstacles on their path.
KHENTRUL RINPOCHE PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH VAJRAPANI
“For me Vajrapani is personally special because my root lama, Lama Lobsang Trinley, was considered as the actual Vajrapani. When he practiced it, he could completely heal his leprosy during a long solitary retreat. At the end of his retreat, he achieved the same realization of the great Indian mahasiddhas.
My root Lama’s teachings on Vajrapani were incredibly special. As many high Lamas came to our monastery in order to receive the Vajrapani empowerment from him, I could receive it many times. All these Lamas who came had no doubt about his realization. They said that he himself was the actual Vaprapani, as they were witnessing my Lama taming incredibly powerful demons who wish to bring harm to our regions.”
This practice has a very special connection to our lineage through both Lama Lutrin and the Shambhala Dharma King Suchandra. Suchandra who was an emanation of Vajrapani, requested the Buddha in the form of Deity of Kalachakra, transmit the Kalachakra Tantra Teachings. Suchandra went on to establish these Kalachakra teachings in Shambhala where they flourished and came to us.
TANTRA EMOTIONS AND VAJRAPANI
In this retreat, Rinpoche will also explore further working with Vajrapani in your life as you work to engage on an authentic tantric path, harnessing, directing, and transforming the power of anger and other emotions on the path.

Join Kalachakra Master Khentrul Rinpoche at Tibet House US (or online) for an inspiring evening. During the evening, Khentrul Rinpoche, a Jonang Kalachakra master, who focuses on the teachings from the pure land of Shambhala, will plant blessings in our mindstream of White Manjushri and Chenrezig that we can activate through our own practice and reflection on the texts.
White Manjushri helps us cultivate wisdom, specifically through gentle methods that help us teach others through our speech. Chenrezig is the Tibetan name for Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion.
To overcome the darkness in our world and manifest the Golden Age on Earth, we must cultivate both wisdom and compassion with the altruistic mind set on enlightenment. Wisdom and compassion are like the two wings of a bird: in order to fly, we must exercise both wings in equal measure. We need to recognize that deep work must be done on ourselves, and we should do our best and work diligently to transform our own minds. The more our minds are rooted in deep wisdom and compassion with altruistic intention, the less we contribute to suffering in the world and the better-equipped we will be to help others. We can not get discouraged and overwhelmed by the temporary negative conditions in our world. We can start our path to manifest the golden age right here. We can become the peace we want to see in our world.

At the request of the Hungarian group, Khentrul Rinpoche will speak on the divine female wisdom and how to use it on the tantric path. He will bestow the Wang (full empowerment) of the Goddess Red Saraswati who is the consort of Manjusrhi and the female embodiment of wisdom. The empowerment comes from the Jonang tradition, based on Jetsun Taranatha. Most of the tantras that are popular in other traditions come from him because Taranatha is the treasury of the tantra.
His teaching will be on using feminine wisdom on the path of desire to work with our emotions. We do not have to abandon the challenges of our modern world. In fact, we can learn to face them directly and transform them into our path to liberation.
About Red Sarasvati
Both Buddhists and non-Buddhists worship her equally. In the vedic tradition, Brahma created the world, and for a long time after, they didn’t have any sounds or sentient beings. Many gods came to him and said, “you made the world, but there are no beings and no sounds.” Then Brahma spilled water from his vase, and there became this incredible sound, this sound is known as the goddess Sarasvati. So that is why she is known as Brahma’s daughter. This is, in general, a story based on Hindu teachings, but the Tibetans have many, many different versions of her. Some of her forms are white with two arms. This form is a tantric 4-armed version and is powerful and magnetizing in nature.
Saraswati is a wisdom deity but a female version, just like Manjushri. Many great practitioners consider her to be Manjushri’s secret consort. There are so many other lamas worshipping, especially scholars worshipping her instead of Manjushri.

Tap into the power of all the Buddhas to open your heart to liberate all sentient beings. The infinite ultimate Bodhicitta needed to realize enlightenment and liberate beings as limitless as space, may be simple to understand but difficult to cultivate. In our world, it can be hard enough to develop worldly compassion and sympathy for friends and family; never mind those with opposing political views or who you perceived to have wronged you. To develop the heart of enlightenment big enough to genuinely care for the whole world selflessly like the great bodhisattvas of Shambhala takes a huge, continuous effort. Peace is possible for the world, but we need strong motivation and huge strength and dedication to create a Golden Age of Peace.
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow the Bodhisattva vow and a prayer on Shambhala to help connect us with the power of love and the warrior nature that never gives up like all the Shambhala Kalki Kings such as Pundarika an emanation of Chenrezig. Through this unique connection, we can with sustained effort, open our hearts to truly cultivate the capacity of unconditional love and compassion to create a Golden Age of time on earth. Khentrul Rinpoche will guide us in teaching how the Shambhala Kings are the ultimate compassionate warriors that we can become as well.
INCLUDED IN THIS EVENT
-Bodhisattva vow and booklet,
-Shambhala Prayer Oral transmission
-A preliminary teaching and practice session with a Q&A session.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
There are no prerequisites. It is suitable for all levels of practitioners. Previous Buddhist study and practice are helpful but not mandatory. If you wish for the enlightenment of all sentient beings, want people to know what unconditional love is, and are willing to work for the rest of your lives for this vision, then this vow is for you.
