This course is open only to ordained monks and nuns. It is not available to Ngakpa or those with other forms of ordination.

Vinaya is the foundation of monastic life and practice. In this course, Khentrul Rinpoche will lead discussions addressing questions about the Vinaya and exploring the non-contradictory perspective of the Vinaya across the three vehicles. While there is no required reading for the course, Khentrul Rinpoche has previously recommended Perfect Conduct by Dudjom Rinpoche for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Vinaya.
If you are considering ordination and are interested in this course, please first apply for ordination through the Monastics page and speak with Marco, who oversees our monastics program.

Khentrul RinpocheKhentrul 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).
