Three Reasons for Confidence: Tāranātha’s Story of Guru Rinpoche
This event is available both Online and In-person.
Join us on the sacred occasion of Tāranātha’s Parinirvana as Khentrul Rinpoche shares teachings from Tāranātha’s masterpiece Three Reasons for Confidence—his luminous life story of Guru Padmasambhava according to the Indian tradition.
Tāranātha is revered not only as a great Kālachakra master, but as a truly rimé (non-sectarian) master. With extraordinary clarity, he could accurately recount events, places, and lineages that he had never encountered in this life, describing the activities of Guru Rinpoche and other masters with the precision of an eyewitness. His writings harmonize sources from India and Tibet, presenting multiple lineages—Nyingma, Sarma, and others—without bias, each carefully traced back to its authentic origin.
Through Khentrul Rinpoche’s commentary, we will explore how this incredible mastery of history, lineage, and vision becomes a mirror for our own confidence in the Dharma: confidence in the tantras, confidence in the authentic guru, and confidence in our own awakened potential.
All are welcome to connect with Tāranātha’s vast wisdom and Guru Rinpoche’s boundless activity on this powerful day.
We will be referring to this text translated by Lotsawa House.

Khentrul RinpocheMaestro Jonang KalachakraKhentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö è il fondatore e direttore spirituale di Dzokden. Rinpoche è l’autore di Unveiling Your Sacred Truth, The Great Middle Way: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness, A Happier Life e The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path.
Rinpoche trascorse i primi 20 anni della sua vita allevando yak e cantando mantra sugli altopiani del Tibet. Ispirato dai bodhisattva, lasciò la sua famiglia per studiare in una varietà di monasteri sotto la guida di oltre venticinque maestri di tutte le tradizionibuddiste tibetane. Grazie al suo approccio non settario, si guadagnò il titolo di MaestroRimé (imparziale) e fu identificato come la reincarnazione del famoso Maestro Kalachakra Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. Pur avendo sviluppato un profondo rispetto per tutte le autentiche tradizioni spirituali, per il suo percorso personale, ha scelto di concentrarsi sulla tradizione Jonang/Shambala. Gli insegnamenti del Kalachakra (ruota del tempo) contengono metodi profondi per armonizzare il nostro ambiente esterno con il mondo interiore del corpo e della mente, portando infine alla realizzazione dell’Età dell’Oro della pace e dell’armonia (Dzokden).
