Amitabha Empowerment and Puja with Khentrul Rinpoche

This is a paid event and available both Online and In-person.

Amitabha is the most well-known Buddha after Buddha Shakyamuni himself. Some Chinese traditions only focus on Amitabha, and many Tibetans also focus on him because, in the Amitabha sutra, it is said he has taken many vows to help sentient beings easily be reborn in his Pureland of Sukhavati, the Land of Bliss.

Amitabha Pureland is one of the well-known easiest pure lands to get to, although perhaps harder to reach than the Bodhisattva realm of Shambhala. Through this empowerment, one can connect with and work to cultivate unwavering faith and devotion to Amitabha. If one is reborn in his pure land, the path to Buddhahood is natural.

Two of Khentrul Rinpoche’s Lamas, including his root Guru Lama Lobsang Trinlé emphasized Amitabha a lot, especially for non-monastic householder practitioners. Even though Lama Lobsang Trinlé was a Kalachakra master, he spent his whole life practicing and extensively teaching Amitabha to everyone. He eventually bestowed not only his hat but also his precious practice text of Amitabha to Khentrul Rinpoche. It had become warn out because he had used it for so many years. Lama Lutrin instructed Khentrul Rinpoche to teach this practice to Amitabha to many people in the future.

Up until now, Khentrul Rinpoche has focused on sharing his passion for Shambhala and the Golden Age, so he has not had a chance to emphasize Amitaha enough. But now he sees that it is the right time to start emphasizing and sharing these teachings to fulfill his responsibility to his precious teacher.

Many of the people with great faith and devotion feel at peace upon death, They often see Amitabha before they die and feel at peace and secure after they have become dedicated to this practice. A Jonang Lama and a Khandro said that Khentrul Rinpoche’s own mother went to Sukhavati so the practice is very powerful. Khentrul Rinpoche received this empowerment and practice many times from Nyingma Lama, Zhigli Khenpo Tenzin Zangpo and Lama Lobsang Trinley. 

Rinpoche will give the empowerment and a practice with it.

Poetic Songs and Blessings for Taranatha’s Parinirvana: Oral Transmission of Zhentong Nyingpo

This event is FREE and available Online only.

In honor of Jetsun Taranatha’s Parinrivana, Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow the oral transmission of the Zhentong Nyingpo. In a previous year he gave a commentary on the text which you can find in Learn.dzokden.org.

Jetsun Taranatha was a renowned Tibetan Buddhist scholar, teacher, and master of the Jonang school. He is considered one of the most important figures in the development of Tibetan Buddhism in the 16th and 17th centuries and is best known for his profound contributions to the teachings of emptiness (shunyata) and the nature of mind based on Dolpopa’s Zhentong emptiness. He was a master who had familiarity with all traditions and could write from their doctrinal point of view perfectly. If he wrote a commentary on a Jonang text it reflected no hint of the Nyngma and vice versa.

While a prolific tantric master who wrote many commentaries, empowerments and Sadhanas, he was also known for his poetry. Khentrul Rinpoche will share some of his Dharma poetry in honor of this day.

Serpent Year Prosperity: White Dzambhala Empowerment and Naga Offering Puja

This event is available both In-person and Online.

To say goodbye to the year of the Dragon and welcome in the year of the snake, Khentrul Rinpoche has agreed to bestow the White Dzambhala empowerment and sadhana for Lunar new year. This allows us to work with the power of both the dragon and snake. After we create the conditions for good virtue, wealth and abundance with White Dzambhala, we will offer to the Nagas to help manifest the wealth and abundance in the year of the Serpent. Both of these offerings help to bring material prosperity but even more importantly they help to bring the true wealth of the Dharma.

While in general, the Wealth Yaksha Dzambhala is connected with generosity and Ratnasambhava, each form or color of the deity has a slightly different focus. White Dzambhala is seen as a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Chenrezig. He can eradicate poverty through cleansing negative karma and karmic obstacles while advancing our Bodhicitta aspiration. White Dzambhala brings us the knowledge of ethical discipline and purity. When there is mental clarity, ethics, and wisdom, financial resources can be put to their most effective use. To have financial stability we need purity in our understanding and view of financial resources. We have been working over the years as a community to cultivate a connection with all aspects of Dzambhala and in doing so, refine our ability to magnetize the true wealth, the Dharma to create a Golden Age. 

Statues Blessed for Prosperity, Wealth and Abundance

Khentrul Rinpoche will also consecrate and bless Naga Statues and various forms of Dzambhala statues both for offering practices and practitioners home shrines. Those who wish to bring home the conditions for prosperity can pre-order one on Amritasecrets.com If you make the offering and pre-order a Naga statue, please do not keep it in your home shrine near a Garuda. Make sure it is kept away from Garuda.

Special Note for Drolmi Kazug Practioners

If you are a practitioner of the Drolmi Kazug Puja we will also put the Naga practice in your learning center. This is excerpted from the puja and not available for everyone due to restrictions but is available to the practitioners of Drolmi Kazug. Also for those who want to add to your shrine setup, you may consider a Naga statue as we offer to the Nagas every Drolmi Kazug. 

How to Prepare?

There are no prerequisites for these teachings.  

Prayers of Prosperity for Your Friends and Family

If you would like to make an offering of generosity below in the ticket section  to create the conditions for abundance in your life for yourself and your loved ones,  you can do so at the check out.  Add  up to 5 names for you, your friends and family to be added to the dedication at the end of the puja.

Recourir aux Manifestations Magiques de Guru Rinpoché

Cet événement est accessible en personne et en ligne

Invité par le roi Trisong Detsen, Guru Rinpoché a apporté les enseignements du Bouddha Śhākyamuni au Tibet. Celui que l’on appelle communément « Guru Rinpoché », ce qui signifie le « précieux maître », fait disparaître toutes les négativités, délivrant les êtres de leurs difficultés et de leurs perturbations.

Guru Rinpoché est venu sur cette terre sous l’apparence d’un être humain. Dans le but de dissoudre notre attachement aux conceptions dualistes et de détruire nos fixations mentales, il se manifesta sous des formes extraordinaires. Les Huit Émanations de Guru Rinpoché incarnent ses activités les plus bénéfiques et démontrent la flexibilité et la nature illusoire des apparences.

Qui est Guru Rinpoché ?

Nous avons une chance inimaginable d’avoir entendu parler de Guru Rinpoché (Padmasaṃbhava), le maître spirituel qui a fait du Tibet un pays bouddhiste et dont on peut penser qu’il est celui dont le Bouddha historique, Śhākyamuni, a prédit qu’il serait sa dernière réincarnation. Voici plus d’un millénaire, Guru Rinpoché a fait de nombreuses prophéties, qui se sont répandues dans des textes disséminés dans de nombreuses lignées qui les ont préservés au Tibet. Celles-ci ont été compilées ces dernières années, dans un ouvrage intitulé Un encouragement pour détourner les obstacles des temps obscurs durant l’année du chien de fer [An Encouragement to Avert the Hindrances of Dark Times in the Year of the Iron Dog – Source : The Saving Each Other Together (SEOT) Project].

Les vœux de refuge

Tant que vous n’avez pas pris refuge, vous n’avez pas encore fait de votre pratique spirituelle le sens de votre vie. En prenant les vœux de refuge, vous reconnaissez que, vous-même, vous avez la nature de bouddha et que vous pouvez la dévoiler. Dans ce but, il vous faut vous appuyer sur un guide, le Bouddha, sur des instructions sur la manière dont vous pourrez révéler votre nature, le Dharma, et sur des compagnons de voyage qui vous aideront à avancer dans la bonne direction, la Sangha. Prendre refuge change vos priorités de vie et plante les fondations solides de votre progression vers votre nature de bouddha. C’est la première étape qui fait de vous une ou un bouddhiste engagé(e) sur la voie. Bien que vous puissiez prendre refuge dans votre cœur, ce qui est la forme la plus importante, vous pouvez également prendre refuge auprès d’un maître bouddhiste. Vous vous tournez ainsi vers une voie spirituelle authentique qui peut être bénéfique non seulement à vous-même, mais également aux autres. Khentrul Rinpoché offrira à ceux qui le désirent la possibilité de prendre ces vœux. Puisque ce moment est celui où vous vous reconnaissez comme membre de la famille des bouddhas, vous sera donné un nouveau nom, un nom de refuge, dont le sens profond est fondé sur les qualités de la vérité absolue que, par vos efforts, vous cultiverez et révélerez en vous-même. Vous pourrez recevoir ce nom en participant à la cérémonie en personne, ou en faire la demande en ligne. 

Les vœux de bodhisattva

Pour ceux qui désirent connaître la vérité de leur nature, mais désirent également que tous les autres connaissent la vérité de leur nature, existent les vœux de bodhisattva. Cette cérémonie vous permet de vous engager à aider tous les êtres des dix directions et des trois temps à connaître leur propre vérité sacrée, ou de confirmer cet engagement. C’est l’engagement d’aider les autres à atteindre l’éveil, quoi qu’il en coûte et pour aussi longtemps que nécessaire, peu importe quand cela arrivera. C’est un engagement à être présent pour leur bien. La prise des vœux de bodhisattva est une étape dans le développement d’un cœur d’amour et de compassion ainsi que de l’esprit et de l’énergie du guerrier au courage indomptable, que rien ne peut arrêter dans ses efforts pour aider les autres à contempler leur propre vérité.

Les vœux de bodhisattva ne peuvent être pris qu’après avoir reçu les vœux de refuge. En prenant ces vœux, vous passez d’une voie conduisant à votre libération personnelle à une voie visant à l’éveil universel, en vous engageant à faire de l’amour et de la compassion votre chemin spirituel.
