2025 Golden Age Bodhisattva Training
This event is available Online and in English only.
Are You Ready to Become Invincible?
It’s Time to Get Real About Being a Bodhisattva. Everyone focuses on the love and compassion part of the path.
Khentrul Rinpoche focuses on the courageous nature you need to cultivate.
Liking the idea of compassion isn’t enough. If you’re serious about becoming a Bodhisattva—a true warrior of love—you need to train. This path is not about escaping the world. It’s about turning toward its suffering with fearless clarity, patience, and action. That requires work, endurance, and transformation.
This course is a no-fluff immersion into the courageous Mahayana Bodhisattva path. You will be asked to practice, study, and show up—again and again. Because real peace isn’t passive. It’s earned. And it’s built on the capacity to face everything—especially your own karma—for the benefit of all beings.
What You’ll Work Towards Cultivating
-The unshakable courage to face challenge without collapse
-The mental and emotional resilience to transform adversity into compassion
-The skill to generate Bodhicitta and act from wisdom and altruism
-A living connection to the Bodhisattva Vows and the Shambhala Golden Age vision
-Deepened commitment through group practice, study, and meditative discipline
Topics Covered
-The Four Immeasurable Qualities (Love, Compassion, Joy, Equanimity)
-Aspiring & Engaged Bodhicitta, and Ultimate Bodhicitta
-The Six Perfections: From generosity to wisdom
-The Wheel of Sharp Weapons Sutra: Transforming karmic adversity
-Bodhisattva Vows (Bestowed by Khentrul Rinpoche)
-Shambhala Connection (Oral transmission offered)
-Practical training in Tonglen, Metta, and more
-The Five Paths & Ten Bhumis from the Mahayana Sutra tradition
-How to face the world with clarity instead of using the Dharma to escape it
How the Training Works

Khentrul RinpocheNon-Sectarian Master of KalachakraKhentrul 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).
