Shambala, Kalachakra and the Multicolored Garuda Jenang
This is a paid event and will be available both In-person and Online.
Dzokden and Tibet House US presents a special teaching on Shambhala and Kalachakra that includes a blessing jenang of the multi-coloured Garuda, the Kalachakra Mandala Protector. Khentrul Rinpoche has agreed to bestow this empowerment to his students for the first time at the request of Robert Thurman.
The sublime realm of Shambhala is directly connected to the transformation of our world into a Golden Age of Peace and harmony. This transformation is possible due to the efforts of Bodhisattva practitioners of the Kalachakra Tantra. In order to live a long and healthy life to transform the world, we need protection on our Dharma path from various forms of harms such as obstacles, illness, ignorance etc. There are several Dharma protectors specifically related to the Kalachakra, such as Vajra Vega who forms a spherical protection wheel and the 21st Tara Marichi who protects the realm of Shambhala. The multi-colored Garuda of transcendental wisdom is the extremely powerful protector of the Kalachakra Mandala, representing our body. Multicolored Garuda is victorious over the nagas, which can manifest in any form or harmful condition and interfere in our practice of tantra. It is said that this protector is effective against cancer, aids and spirit harm.
Khentrul Rinpoche will give teachings on the Realm of Shambhala and Kalachakra in relation to Dharma protectors and our spiritual path.

Khentrul RinpocheJonang Kalachakra & Rimé Master
Khentrul 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).
