Awaken through Suffering on the Sutrayana Path with Khentrul Rinpoche
While the Buddha taught that life is suffering, he also taught that there is a way to become free from suffering. In this evening’s talk, Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche will teach powerful mind-training techniques from the Sutrayana path of Buddhism to help us learn to cope with life and transform it. While we can’t prevent life’s challenges, we can become skillful in dealing with them.
Suffering can appear in our lives in so many forms, such as the easy-to-do identify suffering of illness, job loss, divorce, or other adverse life circumstances. Or suffering can be subtle and sneaky in the form of passing radiantly joyful emotions that are so wonderful we wish they would never leave. Even the best ice cream will melt in the hot sun if not eaten.
While our feelings and emotions can change momentarily, it does not mean we must be thrown into turmoil by sadness, jealousy, anger, hatred, or frustration. Nor does that mean we must reject our emotions and experiences, hide them, or shame them away. The Buddha taught many precise antidotes that can be learned and used for each emotion to help us work through them as they arise. When this happens we can better achieve all of our life priorities in work, family, or spiritual realization.
These sutra antidotes can help practitioners at all levels. Even a tantric student wishing to work directly with emotion’s energy may find themselves in a moment when reducing the emotion’s intensity is necessary before transforming it.

Khentrul RinpocheKhentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö est le fondateur et le directeur spirituel de Dzokden. Rinpoche est l’auteur de Dévoiller votre vérité sacrée, la grande voie du millieu: Clarifier la vue Jonang de l’autre-vacuité, Une vie plus heureuse, et Le trésor caché de la voie profonde.
Rinpoche à passé les vingt premières années de sa vie à élever des Yacks et chanter des mantras sur les hauts plateaux du Tibet. Inspiré par les bodhisattvas, il quitte sa famille afin d’étudier dans divers monastères sous la guidance de plus de vingt-cinq maîtres de toutes les écoles du Bouddhisme Tibétain. Grace à cette approche non-sectaire il a obtenu le titre de maître Rimé (sans parti pris) et a été identifié comme la réincarnation du fameux maître Kalachakra Ngawang Chödzin Gyaltso. Alors que dans le cœur de son enseignement il reconnaît la grande valeur de la diversité de toutes les traditions spirituelles que l’on trouve dans ce monde, il se concentre essentiellement sur la tradition Jonang-Kalachakra. L’enseignement de Kalachakra (La roue du temps) contient la méthode profonde pour harmoniser l’environnement externe avec le monde interne du corps et de l’esprit, ultimement afin d’engendrer un âge d’or de paix et d’harmonie (Dzokden).
