Nagpa Dawa: Kalachakra Wheel Turning Day Tsok Celebration

Nagpa Dawa: Kalachakra Wheel Turning Day Tsok Celebration

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

On this incredibly auspicious full moon day hundreds of years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha in the form of the Yidam Deity appeared in Amravati to turn the wheel of Dharma. On this incredible day marking the month of Nagpa Dawa, at the request of Dharma King Suchandra from Shambhala, the Kalachakra Tantra was taught along with all other forms of tantra from the 4 faces of Kalachakra while the Buddha in the form of a monk simultaneously taught the Heart Sutra on Vulture Peak Mountain. While we do not have the full form of the Tantra that was taught that day, the abridged form of the Tantra that we have now is still the most extensive Tantra in the world. It has incredibly detailed and clear instructions explaining how to work with the external world, and the internal world to reveal the enlightened nature.

This day is very important for our world because it has been prophesied by Buddha Shakyamuni in the form of Kalachakra, that our world will transform into a Golden Age of Global Peace and harmony with the help of the Shambhala Dharma kings. On this day we will increase our connection to the 10th Level Bodhisattva Kings to help us on our Dharma path and remove obstacles so that we may reveal our own sacred truth and manifest a Golden Age on earth for the benefit of all beings. 

We will celebrate this year with teachings on Shambhala, along with prayers to Shambhala and obstacle removal with the power of Shambhala Dharma Kings.

The Kalachakra Tsok and various Prayers of Shambhala and the Kalki King Obstacle removing prayer will be recited. Please make sure to have access to the Unrestricted Prayers and text in the learning center.

Amitabha Empowerment and Puja with Khentrul Rinpoche

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.

Guru Puja for Lama Lobsang Trinle Parinirvana

Guru Puja for Lama Lobsang Trinle Parinirvana

This event is FREE and available both Online and In-person.

In Vajrayana Buddhism, the Guru is the Buddha, the Guru is the Dharma, and the Guru is the Sangha. The whole path is contained in the practice of devotion to the Guru, who, while ultimately our enlightened nature, is also a human being who reflects that nature to us. The most powerful Guru is your root guru, the one who points out the nature of reality to you and you transform your mind. 

The light that shows the way on our Kalachakra path is Khentrul Rinpoche. And the one who had the most profound impact on his mind, is his root Guru, Lama Lobsang Trinle. Lama Lobsang Trinley (Lama Lutrin) is one of the most respected Jonang Kalachakra masters of our time. He was well known for his incredible healing powers as he had healed himself from Leprosy and then those around him with his spontaneous medicine wisdom. While showing no signs of sickness, he stated he would pass away and then entered Thukdom, a meditative state at Saka Dawa time, the day that we celebrate the birth, enlightenment, and death of Shakyamuni Buddha.

Join us in the profound practice of the Jonang Guru Puja in honor of the pari-nirvana of Lama Lobsang Trinley. All practices done at this time are incredibly powerful as the merit is multiplied by 100 million times.

Learn about the Greatness of Lama Lutrin

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

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.
