San Francisco, CA USA: APRIL 16 – 6:00 AMIn celebration of Khentrul Rinpoche’s 60th birthday, a special year that brings the completion of all the signs and elements in a zodiac cycle, Rinpoche will give a teaching on birthdays and how to approach them. This is one of the most important birthdays in our zodiac cycle because it is when we revisit the sign and element from when we were born. Often times people associate this revisit to the natal sign as an obstacle year. In order to help prevent that we have already
1) made a long-life offering to Khentrul Rinpoche
2) Medicine Buddha and Marichi Mantra Accumulation
3) Built a Medicine Buddha Mandala and had 9 statues (7 Medicine Buddhas and 2 Taras) made for the Garden which will arrive in time for his birthday
Normally people become self-focused on their birthday. Rinpoche will give a teaching on how we can instead approach this day from a Buddhist perspective. In addition to this, he will bestow prosperity and long-life blessing on everyone.
In honor of Rinpoche’s 60th birthday, the community will recite long-life prayers to him and make offerings prepared by the different sanghas.
Often the end of this cycle is considered to be an obstacle year for the person. In order to prevent that our community has been reciting mantras.

ABOUT
In celebration of the anniversary of when the Buddha Shakyamuni taught the Kalachakra in the form of the Deity at Amaravati Stupa in India, we will have teachings and recite Dolpopa’s prayers on Kalachakra.
In our modern times, many people prefer to be spiritual but not religious. Part of this is the desire to connect with the essence of our true nature that is beyond the limitations of any religion. This is exactly what the Kalachakra tantra teaches. Rinpoche will give teachings about why the Kalachakra tantra is a Rimé practice that is inclusive of all the world’s spiritual traditions. Even in the realm of Shambhala when the great Bodhisattvas realized the teachings of the Kalachakra tantra, they did so from backgrounds based on various wisdom traditions. Understanding the true deeper nature of the Kalachakra can help move us out of the limited thinking of lineage or religion and closer to our own sacred truth.
