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.

Weekend Retreat: Cultivating Wisdom
Retreat at a Glance:
– Red Saraswati Empowerment
– White Manjushri Empowerment
– Oral transmission of the practice texts
-Teaching on the Wisdom Chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva
To become fully realized Buddhas, we must accumulate both Merit and Wisdom. This retreat focuses on connecting with the teachings of Wisdom, which arises not just from knowledge but through awareness. By cultivating wisdom and compassion with an altruistic mindset, we can overcome the darkness in our world and help manifest the Golden Age on Earth.
Wisdom and compassion are like two wings of a bird—both are needed to soar. Through deep personal transformation and dedicated practice, we reduce suffering and become better equipped to help others. Despite the challenges in the world, we can start our path today and embody the peace we wish to see
Khentrul Rinpoche’s connection with Manjushri
Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche is name means Manjushri and was bestowed on him at ordination. The name was his preceptor root guru’s name and it is believed the person receiving this name embodies the qualities of that guru.
White Manjushri – Gentle Methods in Wisdom and Sweet Speech
White Manjushri helps us cultivate wisdom, specifically through gentle methods that help us teach others through our speech.
Red Sarasvati – Intuitive Female Wisdom
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow the Wang (full empowerment) of the Goddess Red Saraswati who is the consort of Manjushri and the female embodiment of wisdom. The empowerment comes from the Jonang tradition, based on Jetsun Taranatha.
Both Buddhists and non-Buddhists worship her equally. In the vedic tradition, Brahma created the world, and for a long time after, they didn’t have any sounds or sentient beings. Many gods came to him and said, “you made the world, but there are no beings and no sounds.” Then Brahma spilled water from his vase, and there became this incredible sound, this sound is known as the goddess Sarasvati. So that is why she is known as Brahma’s daughter. While the story varies across cultures, the Tibetan tradition features multiple forms of Sarasvati, including a powerful, four-armed tantric version. She is especially worshipped by scholars and spiritual practitioners for her transformative, magnetizing power.
Way of the Bodhisattva – Wisdom Chapter Teaching
PREPARATION TEACHING FOR 2026 YEAR LONG ADVANCED COURSE
In 2026 Khentrul Ripoche will be giving teachings on the 20 Sutras of the Definitive Meaning of Dharma, this is the ultimate wisdom teachings. To help prepare disciples for this, he will bestow the White Manjushri and Red Saraswati Empowerments along with preparatory teachings on Shantideva’s Way of the Bodhisattva Wisdom chapter. The teachings on the Sutras of Definitive Meaning were from high level Bodhisattvas and are deeper even than the wisdom teachings of Shantideva. For this reason it’s encouraged to take this teaching and empowerment in preparation.

Khentrul Rinpoche ha accettato di conferire l’iniziazione di Dzambhala Verde. Rinpoche ha accettato di conferire tutte le cinque forme di Dzambhala e questa è la quarta forma che conferirà. Una volta terminato il conferimento di tutte e 5 le forme di Dzambhala, in futuro offrirà ai suoi studenti una pratica che includa tutte le forme.
Il legame con il Kalachakra e con il karma
Questa particolare forma di Dzambhala Verde è intimamente legata al lignaggio del Kalachakra e agli insegnamenti ad esso associati. Dzambhala Verde, come Tara Verde, incarna l’azione dinamica e compassionevole, aiutandoci a generare karma positivo, meriti e prosperità a beneficio di tutti gli esseri. È particolarmente collegato con la famiglia del karma dell’attività e lavora in armonia con la sua consorte Vasudhara Dakini.
Ricchezza e pratica del Dharma: un nobile scopo
Nel Dharma, la ricchezza non è finalizzata al lusso o al guadagno personale. Lo scopo della ricchezza è sostenere le azioni nobili: la generosità, la condivisione del Dharma e l’aiuto a tutti gli esseri senzienti. Coltivando la generosità, ci colleghiamo alla famiglia del karma verde e attiviamo l’energia compassionevole di Dzambhala Verde e della Dakini della Saggezza. Attraverso questa pratica, richiamiamo un flusso di karma positivo e di prosperità, arricchendo la nostra vita e quella degli altri.
Questa forma di Dzambhala Verde, proveniente dal sistema Kalachakra, è un’emanazione di Akshobhya, mentre la sua corrispettiva Dakini della Saggezza è un aspetto verde-blu di Vasudhara o Tara. Come “attività” della famiglia del karma, sono i più attivi dei cinque Dzambhala e ispirano il karma positivo nella nostra vita.
Nel corso degli anni abbiamo lavorato come comunità per coltivare una connessione con tutti gli aspetti di Dzambhala e, così facendo, affinare la nostra capacità di magnetizzare la vera ricchezza, il Dharma, per manifestare un’Età dell’Oro.
Questo evento include sia l’iniziazione che la pratica di Dzambhala Verde.
Prerequisiti
È preferibile che il praticante abbia già ricevuto in passato l’iniziazione di Kalachakra, in qualsiasi forma, da un maestro qualificato. Se non avete ricevuto l’iniziazione di Kalachakra in precedenza ma desiderate prendere partecipare a questo evento, Khentrul Rinpoche vi chiede di impegnarvi a ricevere l’iniziazione di Kalachakra da lui in futuro.

Khentrul Rinpoche conferirà l’iniziazione della magica incantatrice Kurukulla, secondo l’iniziazione Jonang del grande Jetsun Taranatha collegata alla sua forma speciale di Samaya Tara. Samaya Tara è la più alta forma yoga tantra di Tara della collezione unica di Tara di Taranatha. È associata all’attività illuminata del magnetizzare. Khentrul Rinpoche impartirà anche insegnamenti sulle attività illuminate.
Il ritiro del fine settimana comprende:
-Iniziazione di Kurukulla
-Trasmissione orale della sadhana
-Insegnamenti sulle attività illuminate
-Sessioni di pratica e di recitazione di mantra
“Se reciti sessanta milioni di mantra con un mala fatto di legno di sandalo rosso. Diventerai il Re-che-gira-la-ruota dei sei regni e domerai tutti gli esseri senzienti”. – Kurukullā Tantra
Informazioni su KuruKulla
Kurukulla, potente Dakini ed emanazione di Tara Rossa, è la “causa della saggezza” e l’incarnazione dell’energia femminile illuminata. La sua capacità unica di magnetizzare saggezza, ricchezza, salute e successo la rende una figura venerata in tutte le tradizioni.
Questa dea semi-irata è nota per il suo potere trasformativo di sottomettere le forze negative e di attirare le benedizioni. La vibrante energia rossa di Kurukulla simboleggia la sua forza dinamica, capace di attirare risorse positive e di eliminare gli ostacoli.
Invocatela per migliorare la crescita spirituale, avere protezione dalla sfortuna e manifestare l’abbondanza. Attraverso le sue pratiche – che spaziano dalla divinazione agli amuleti e al controllo delle forze negative – Kurukulla vi permette di magnetizzare i vostri desideri, superare le sfide e attrarre la prosperità.
Le sue sadhana di pratica sono associate allo sviluppo di molti siddhi mondani, come il potere di ripristinare i luoghi, il potere dei piedi veloci, il potere dell’invisibilità, il potere del ringiovanimento, il potere di levitare, il potere di muoversi liberamente attraverso la terra e il potere di avere il controllo sugli spiriti del mondo sotterraneo.
Che KuruKulla ci aiuti a magnetizzare tutte le condizioni desiderate per il fiorire dell’Età dell’Oro nel nostro mondo, per il fiorire del Kalachakra e per l’illuminazione di tutti gli esseri senzienti.

Read Dolpopa’s Classic text
Mountain Dharma: The Ocean of Definitive Meaning by Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen
It is said that teaching the Buddhadharma that the sons are more skilled than the fathers and that even the Buddha got better with practice. The early teachings say very little about the realized experience, and the Buddha remained silent on many points. The subsequent Perfection of Wisdom teachings says a little more but shy from saying too much about nonconceptual wisdom for fear of polluting it. Later in life, the Buddha was ready to talk about such things, and students were ready to hear them. After a thousand years, tantric masters learned the trick of making such insights about the fruition of the heart of the path. Here, you can read how Dolpopa presents these final teachings in all their glory, without invalidating any of those that came before.
One of the most important texts in all of Jonang Dharma is Dolpopa Sherab Gylatsen Mountain Dharma, commonly known as the Mountain Doctrine. Rime Lodrö (Ives Waldo) translated the book from Tibetan to English to ensure that the Zhentong view was properly translated.
