Letting go 2021 and establishing 2022 fresh with the blessings of the Buddha Vajrasattva
The retreat is optimized for European and USA timezones.
The Empowerment is at good time globally.
Khentrul Rinpoche has kindly agreed to bestow the Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment (Jenang / Permission Blessing) to support all practitioners wishing to do purification practice, and in particular those working with the Ngondro. Rafa Lobsang Dorje from Suchandra Institute will guide the participants through the Kalachakra Preliminaries with focus on the Vajrasattva Practice. This event was requested by practitioners of the Americas and the schedule is friendly for the Americas and for Europe as well.
In the practice sessions we will use the powerful visualization of Vajrasattva in union with his consort Vajratopa, as well as the Vajrasattva Heruka Mantra. The participants will be exposed to various traditional ways of practising and to deepen their understanding about the different meanings involved. We will be practicing with the main sadhana of the Kalachakra Path, “The Divine Ladder” by Jestun Taranatha, as well as with Khentrul Rinpoche’s own sadhana “Enlightening the Heart”.
BENEFITS OF THE PRACTICE
“Vajrasattva practice allows you to uncover the reality of your Buddha-nature, which is currently hidden as a result of defilements created by attachment, aggression and delusion. Our current situation is like a dirty piece of glass. This practice provides you with a powerful method to wash away the dirt while being confident that underneath there is crystal clear glass which is completely pure and unstained. Through the practice of Vajrasattva, this confidence will steadily grow as you come closer and closer to discovering the innate purity of your most profound nature.” (Khentrul Rinpoche)
This practice is done in the Jonang Kalachakra Ngondro for purification. If you are study and practicing this Ngondro, this retreat is highly recommended.
Who can Attend
There are no formal prerequisites. Previous Buddhist study and practice are very helpful but not required. If you can attend the Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment with Khentrul Rinpoche, you create more chances for success in the practice as this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the teacher.

Cette année nous avons terminé le Stupa de l’Unité afin d’aider à créer les conditions pour une Sangha globale et universelle et pour que toutes les communautés du Dharma puissent être dans la paix et l’harmonie. Malgré le fait que ce Stupa soit une belle étape ce n’est pas suffisant.
Nous devons engager des actions nous même pour parachever cette unité.
Toutes les communautés autour du monde font face à des défis pour trouver l’appréciation, le respect, l’amour et l’harmonie entre les personnes qui les constituent. Partout dans le monde des personnes se froissent les unes les autres et se trouvent des fautes et des limitations. Les communautés du Dharma ne sont pas différentes mais l’effet de ce défi n’est pas le même. Rinpoche va aider à nous guider pour que nous trouvions des manières de travailler à travers nos obstacles avec les autres.Il y a une puissance dans l’unité.
Elle nous donne le pouvoir de travailler rapidement et harmonieusement ensemble tout autour du monde pour amener l’Age d’Or de Paix et d’Harmonie.

By request of many different students, Rinpoche will kindly lead a discussion and debate around the Love, Sex and Relationships. This is an area of much confusion among both practitioners and potential practitioners. Rinpoche is very kind to answer questions for us so that people can learn to work with all aspects of their life as the path. Commonly asked questions include, can I fall in love with a Dharma community member? Do I need to get divorced from my partner who doesn’t practice Vajrayana? Do I need to abandon my home and all my family to do this practice? If I take an initiation does it mean I can never have sex again? If I taken an initiation does that mean I have to have sex? Because of new-age tantra there is much fear, confusion and excitement around what an initiation can mean.Please bring your questions and your best points to this interactive event so that Rinpoche can work to cover them all.

About the Puja All are welcome there is no need to RSVP. We will be celebrating the completion of Khentrul Rinpoche’s new smoke offering burner at the Tibetan Buddhist Rime Institute in Australia. We plan to be able to use this to make Jintek, Sang and Sur offerings. We will make the first offerings to all the Local Deities and spirits to purify Karma and create conditions for the Golden Age to Flourish. Sang is a cleansing and purifying practice that clears away obstructions to practice and in the mindstream of the practitioners. This practice we make offerings to all sentient beings and the 3 jewels. Online Zoom Attendance or Facebook

Un des précieux aspects de la lignée Jonang est la cohérence de la vue à travers les enseignements des Soutras et les Tantras.
Rinpoche va offrir une transmission de pouvoir très spéciale sur la pratique du Chöd, la transmission Ouvrir la Porte des Cieux de Jetsun Taranatha. Pour préparer à cet enseignement il va offrir un petit éclaircissement sur la pratique basée sur les Soutras et comment la vue s’aligne avec l’autre vacuité.
