7 Great Medicine Buddha Empowerment (Jenang)
Harness the Healing Power of the Medicine Buddha to Transform Your Life and the Lives of Others
Unlock the profound healing potential of the Medicine Buddha to bring relief to yourself, loved ones, and all beings suffering from illness, mental obstacles, and challenges in life. This unique empowerment offers a powerful path to overcome physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering, while cultivating compassion and wisdom.
The Empowerment & Teachings
The 7 Great Medicine Buddha Empowerment (Jenang) is a live, transformative experience that allows you to connect directly with the Medicine Buddha, known as the supreme healer. Through this empowerment, you can receive blessings and healing energy that help clear obstacles and bring positive change to your life and the world around you.
The Medicine Buddha is revered as the ultimate doctor, offering healing through the sacred teachings of Dharma. He imparted healing wisdom to ancient sages and doctors, including Ayurveda and Tibetan Medicine, all drawn from his Sudarshana Medicine City of healing plants. By channeling the power of love and compassion, you can offer healing to yourself, others, and the root cause of suffering—our ignorance.
This profound empowerment is based on a text by the Buddha from Dolpo, the great Jonang Master Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen, guiding us toward the liberation of body, speech, and mind.
Practice Sadhana Book
To support your practice, we’ll provide a practice sadhana book, making it easier for you to integrate the teachings of the 7 Great Medicine Buddhas into your daily life. Khentrul Rinpoche has designed a simple yet powerful practice that helps clear obstacles and creates the right conditions for spiritual growth. It’s an accessible method that anyone can easily incorporate into their routine.
Empowerment Guide Book
Online registrants will receive an exclusive eBook, offering step-by-step guidance to ensure you fully engage with the empowerment. This guide is for your personal use only and is not to be shared with others.

Karma, Health and Happiness
Take Control of Your Life: The Power of Cause and Effect
Life often feels unpredictable, shaped by circumstances beyond our control. But what if you had more power than you think? In Tibetan wisdom, every experience—good or bad—has a cause. This isn’t about fate or punishment but about understanding the patterns that shape your health, happiness, and future.
Your past choices and actions influence your life today, just as what you do now will shape your future. By learning how to recognize and shift these patterns, you can take control of your wellbeing, make better decisions, and create a more fulfilling life. You may not be able to avoid aging or challenges, but you can change how you experience them.
Discover how to break free from negative cycles, improve your health, and build real happiness—for the benefit of yourself and our world.

Khentrul Rinpoche has kindly agreed to bestow the Namgyalma Empowerment to support all practitioners wishing to make the most of their precious human birth. In order to do that, we need to live a long and healthy life to practice Dharma as much as we can.
Uṣṇīṣavijayā (Victorious Crown Goddess) is a powerful Buddha of longevity, also known as Tsugtor Namgyelma in Tibetan. She is one of the Three Long-Life Deities, alongside Amitayus and White Tara, revered across all major Tibetan Buddhist lineages. Wearing an image of Vairocana in her crown, Uṣṇīṣavijayā embodies the essence of Buddha Amitayus and is a vital source of longevity and healing.
BENEFITS OF THE PRACTICE
The practice of Namgyalma, the mantra of Uṣṇīṣavijayā, offers profound benefits: it clears life obstacles, purifies negative karma, and protects against rebirth in lower realms. Particularly beneficial for those suffering from illness or cancer, this practice can also help extend life by purifying obscurations, especially in times of crisis.
As Guru Shakyamuni Buddha taught, reciting the Namgyalma mantra—along with clean conduct and the eight precepts—can dramatically extend life, heal, and purify negative karma.
The efficacy of this practice depends on how deeply one engages with the deity. The more you practice, the greater the blessings and benefits. The Uṣṇīṣavijayā dharani is highly valued in all of the major Tibetan Buddhist schools for its ability to remove life obstacles and purify negative karma.
WHO CAN ATTEND
There are no formal prerequisites. Previous Buddhist study and practice are very helpful but not required. Like all vajrayana practices you are taking refuge, bodhisattva vows and forming samaya with the master.

Dolpopa’s Monlam Commentary — Online Teaching with Shar Khentrul Rinpoché
In English with live translations TBA. There are no prerequisites for attending!
It is with great joy we announce that Rinpoché has accepted our teaching request for a commentary on Dolpopa’s “Aspiration Prayer for the Two Stages of the Vajra Path”. This profound, inspiring, energetic prayer, was spontaneously conceived by Dolpopa as he conversed with his students. Encompassing Dolpopa’s compassionate energy, this prayer is an object of inspiration and devotion for those aspiring to enter and progress on the profound path of the Six Vajra Yogas of Kālachakra. It encapsulates all main aspects of the path, focusing on Bodhicitta and devotion to the Lama and the Yidam, while also referencing various aspects of Dharma teachings particularly relevant for practitioners to remember.
Rinpoché’s root Lama, the precious Lama Lobsang Trinley also wrote a commentary on this aspiration prayer, and we are delighted that Rinpoché will share his insights regarding his writings as well. The translation of Dolpopa’s prayer is available online at our Learning Center in the “Unrestricted Prayers and Texts” section and as a hard copy in our printed practice book “The Profound Path of Vajra Yoga.”
The commentary will be divided into three sessions. You can do later registration and join even if you were not able to attend the first session or the first two sessions.
Rinpoché will bestow it directly from his vajra throne at Dzokden Kalapa in Austria (where he will then guide his students in person in the retreats of the Completion Stage of the Six Vajra Yogas of Kālachakra).

Path Structure and How to Prepare: Am I ready for the Completion Stage practices?
In English with live translations TBA
The Jonang Tradition is the only spiritual tradition that holds an unbroken lineage stream of the complete authentic teachings and pith instructions of the Kālachakra Completion Stage of the Six Vajra Yogas. Rinpoché received the Jonang lineage from his main Root Lama, the great master Ngawang Lobsang Trinley (1917-1999).
After repeated requests from individuals and groups over the last decades, Shar Khentrul Rinpoché has finally accepted to teach all Six Vajra Yogas of Kālachakra for the first time in the West. The Kālachakra Six Vajra Yogas are the most sublime definitive teachings of the Buddha. This is the first time in the world that these practices have been made available in group retreats to non-monastics outside of Tibet, marking an incredible milestone in the history of Buddhism.
Rinpoché will take residence once a year in Dzokden Kalapa in Austria to teach all Vajra Yogas over the coming years. Moreover, Rinpoché has made an effort to clarify the conditions for participation in a way that goes back to the essence and allows practitioners with family and work commitments to fulfill the requirements. Such coming together of conditions is incredibly auspicious, so we want to make this great opportunity known to the global community. This is a precious and incredibly rare opportunity and we are delighted and grateful to be able to offer it.
In the first part of this public talk, the Kālachakra Master Shar Khentrul Rinpoché will concisely explain the process of preparing for the Completion Stage of Kālachakra, the Four Higher Empowerments, and the structure of the Six Vajra Yogas according to Kālachakra (note: this system is not the same as the Six Dharmas of Nāropa or Niguma, which are often mistakenly translated as Six Yogas).
In the second part of the talk, Rafa Lobsang Dorje — coordinator of the Six Vajra Yogas Program — will share practical information about the preparation steps, the application submission process, and the schedule for this and the coming years, followed by the chance to have your questions answered. In this way, you will know how to do a “self-check” to determine whether you are ready to apply soon, or need to spend a longer time preparing.
