Khentrul Rinpoche has agreed to bestow Karma Lingpa’s Zhitro Hearing Liberation empowerment and perform a Purification Puja at the request of the Chinese language group during the time of The Double Ninth Festival. The Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday observed in the Lunar calendar on the ninth day of the ninth month. Chinese people pay their respects to their ancestors. This is the second time a year that Chinese people have visited the graves of their ancestors.
This “hearing liberation” teaching cycle is part of the highest yoga tantra. Khentrul Rinpoche has a deep connection with this practice and has often received this empowerment. This cycle involves many liberation prayers and forms of practice. Due to its extensive preparation requirements, it is rarely performed publicly. However, it is highly beneficial for life, death, bardo, and rebirth processes and is especially good for repaying parents and ancestors. The Nyedren Purification and Liberation Puja helps sentient beings who have passed and are wandering in the bardo or any of the other six realms to liberate them to Samtrabhadrahood. This ceremony is effective for beings who have died, no matter how long ago. Through the prayer and the ritual performed, the consciousness of the deceased merges with the inseparable wisdom of the hundred deities. To conclude the ritual, we will burn all of the name tablets of the living and deceased. Despite the need for Khentrul Rinpoche’s extensive preparation, he has prepared this for us out of his compassion. Do not miss this important opportunity to participate now; you never know when death will come or when you can help your loved ones again.
ABOUT ZHITRO Zhitro, meaning “peaceful and wrathful,” denotes the assembly of forty-two peaceful and fifty-eight wrathful deities and was buried by Guru Padmasambhava in the eighth century. The teaching was revealed as terma in the 14th Century by the terton Karma Lingpa. These Buddhas are alternatively referred to as the bardo deities. The term ‘bardo’ signifies an ‘intermediate state,’ one of six such states, with the reference here being to the bardo of dying – the transitional phase between death and rebirth. During this phase, the one hundred Zhitro deities manifest themselves to the deceased to facilitate their liberation from the bardo. At some stages in the Bardo state, people need peaceful Deities; in other stages, people need wrathful ones to benefit their journey of awakening.
The teachings of Zhitro, as imparted by Guru Padmasambhava, establish a direct conduit for practitioners to engage with the bardo deities through dedicated practice and supplication. This empowerment is a blessing in our lives and prepares us for liberation in the bardo following our death. As per the Bardo Thodrol, a seminal text on the bardo in Vajrayana Buddhism (widely known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead), bardo deities present themselves to the deceased over a period of forty-nine days while the deceased is in the bardo. Initially, the peaceful deities appear, and if the deceased fails to recognize and attain liberation through these peaceful deities, the wrathful deities subsequently manifest. If the deceased cannot connect with the deities during this forty-nine-day period, their consciousness is drawn back into rebirth within one of the six realms.

SPONSOR THE PUJA
Many people enjoy watching various Pujas online performed by Lamas believing they are receiving a huge benefit. It is also common in the West for people to ask a lama to pray for them without making any offering or having a personal connection. While, as one of all sentient beings, you are connected to the results of the Puja made for the benefit of all sentient beings, the karmic connection is incredibly weak, and therefore so is the result. Normally during certain times in one’s life when a Puja or prayers are required to clear various karmic debts, obstacles, or karmically-based illness, it is customary to make financial offerings to the Lama for prayers and Pujas. This creates a stronger Karmic connection to the Puja, which creates a stronger karmic result.

Khentrul Rinpoché ha accedido a conceder el empoderamiento Jenang de Dzambhala Blanco. En general, el Yaksha Dzambhala de la Riqueza se conecta con la generosidad y con Ratnasambhava, teniendo cada variación de forma y color un enfoque ligeramente diferente. Puede erradicar la pobreza a través de la limpieza del karma negativo y los obstáculos kármicos al tiempo que eleva nuestra Bodhicittā aspiracional. El Dzambhala Blanco nos trae conocimiento de la disciplina ética y pureza. Cuando hay claridad mental, ética y sabiduría, los recursos financieros pueden tener un uso efectivo. Para tener la estabilidad financiera, es necesario purificar el entendimiento y punto de vista hacia los recursos financieros. Hemos trabajado a través de los años como comunidad para cultivar la conexión con todos los aspectos de Dzambhala, y al hacerlo, refinar nuestra habilidad para magnetizar nuestra verdadera riqueza, el Dharma para crear la Era Dorada.
Ésta sesión incluye ambos, el empoderamiento y la práctica del Dzambhala Blanco.

La Puja de los Mil Buddhas tiene su raíz en el linaje Nyingma, y se puede rastrear hasta el Rey Songtsen Gampo, una emanación de Avalokiteshvara. Conectar con el poder de cada uno de los 1000 Buddhas fortalece su práctica espiritual al conectarte con los Buddhas de ésta era afortunada. A través de esta conexión, podemos trabajar para hacer realidad la Era Dorada de Paz y Armonía.
Conectar y aprender de las aspiraciones de los Buddhas hace que nosotras también tomemos acción al aprender y practicar los estadíos que revelarán nuestra propia naturaleza iluminada. El primer paso para cambiar el mundo a un lugar más armonioso y pacífico es cambiar nosotros mismos. Es con cada uno de los karmas que generamos, cada causa y condición, que plantamos las semillas del cambio en nosotros, y así, a través de nuestra transformación, el mundo que nos rodea. Conectar con los 1000 Buddhas y compartir sus nombres, crea condiciones poderosas a todo el que los escucha para poder renacer en un reino superior y entrar en contacto con el Dharma.
Acompáñanos en Toronto o en línea para recitar los nombres con Khentrul Rinpoche.

Open to All Students who wish to Practice Deity Yoga
This year Khentrul Rinpoche did not offer the Kalachakra Empowerment Wang online. Due to the request of many students who wish to prepare to be eligible for the Vajra Yoga Kalachakra completion stage practice, Rinpoche has kindly agreed to bestow the Innate Kalachakra Jenang.
In this weekend retreat, Rinpoche will introduce the Innate Kalachakra Deity to students who are completely new to the practice and offer more extensive information on the Kalachakra mandala for those continuing to deepen their practice. While the Jonang lineage emphasizes the completion stage practice and does not focus on the extensive generation stage practices, they do have them.
This teaching cycle will gradually introduce you to the Kalachakra mandala and the more extensive Sadhanas for the Sahaja Kalachakra.
By receiving the Innate Kalachakra Jenang Empowerment, you will have Khentrul Rinpoche’s blessing and permission to engage in the preliminary practices of the Highest Yoga Tantra, Kalachakra, including self-visualization as the Deity. This concise empowerment helps us connect with the essence of the Kalachakra deity.
Innate Kalachakra (Sahaja Kalachakra) is the main deity practice emphasized by the Jonang Lineage and the gateway to the completion stage. This lineage emphasizes the completion stage practice of the profound 6 Vajra yogas. As such, they choose to keep this deity practice simple and accessible in order to guide people towards their non-conceptual state as swiftly as possible.
This indestructible Vajra yoga Path can lead practitioners to achieve enlightenment in a single lifetime or to attain a rebirth in the Bodhisattva pure realm of Shambhala. Just connecting with this empowerment plants the seed for your future enlightenment whether you choose to activate them in this life or the next.
Included: -Overview of the Kalachakra Mandala -Meaning of the Mandala -Deities in the Mandala -Extensive Innate Kalachakra Sadhana

Dolpopa is one of the greatest masters of Vajrayana Buddhism. Often referred to by all lineages as the Buddha from Dolpo or the second Buddha, he was the expounder of the Dzokden Dharma, the completion Dharma, that is our namesake. In celebration of this great master, Khentrul Rinpoche will teach various forms of tantra along with prayers of auspiciousness related to the great Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen. Join us online or in person at the Rime Institute.

It is said that teaching the Buddhadharma that the sons are more skilled than the fathers and that even the Buddha got better with practice. The early teachings say very little about the realized experience, and the Buddha remained silent on many points. The subsequent Perfection of Wisdom teachings says a little more but shy from saying too much about nonconceptual wisdom for fear of polluting it. Later in life, the Buddha was ready to talk about such things, and students were ready to hear them. After a thousand years, tantric masters learned the trick of making such insights about the fruition of the heart of the path. Here, you can read how Dolpopa presents these final teachings in all their glory, without invalidating any of those that came before.
One of the most important texts in all of Jonang Dharma is Dolpopa Sherab Gylatsen Mountain Dharma, commonly known as the Mountain Doctrine. Rime Lodrö (Ives Waldo) translated the book from Tibetan to English to ensure that the Zhentong view was properly translated.
