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 did so in a meditative state on the precious day of Saka Dawa, 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.

In celebration of the Birth, Death, and Enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha, we recite praises recounting the accomplishments of his incredible life. Connecting and learning from his example, we, too, can take steps to learn and practice in stages to reveal our own enlightened nature. The first step to changing the world to a more peaceful, harmonious place is to change ourselves. It is with each of the karmas we make, each cause and condition, that we plant the seeds to change ourselves and then, through our transformation, the world around us. Shakyamuni spent years of diligent practice and effort to understand the nature of reality and reveal his own nature before he was able to teach others. Once he transformed himself, his enlightened speech and activity had the power to transform our world and continue to through this day.
In addition to the praises to the Buddha of our time, we will chant the powerful 1000 Buddha Puja to connect with all the 1000 Buddhas of this fortunate eon. Connecting with 1000 Buddhas and sharing their names creates powerful conditions for all who hear this to be reborn in a higher realm and to come into contact with the Dharma. All practices done at this time are incredibly powerful as the merit is multiplied by 100 million times.

Khentrul Rinpoche ha accettato di conferire l’iniziazione Kstigarbha e di eseguire una Puja su richiesta del gruppo di lingua cinese.
Kṣitigarbha è uno dei quattro principali bodhisattva del buddismo Mahayana dell’Asia orientale, insieme a Samantabhadra, Manjusri e Avalokiteśvara. Il suo nome si traduce in “Tesoro della Terra”. Kṣitigarbha è famoso per il suo voto di istruire tutti gli esseri nei sei mondi nel periodo tra la morte di Buddha Gautama e l’ascesa di Maitreya. Fece anche voto di non raggiungere la Buddhità finché tutti gli inferni non fossero stati svuotati. Di conseguenza è spesso visto come il bodhisattva degli esseri infernali, nonché il guardiano dei bambini e la divinità protettrice dei bambini deceduti e dei feti abortiti nella cultura giapponese.
BENEFICI DELLA PRATICA
Lo Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Pūrvapraṇidhāna Sūtra delinea i meriti della pratica di Kṣitigarbha. Il sutra suggerisce che coloro che seguono i suoi insegnamenti otterranno meriti e benefici straordinari. Questa pratica può anche aiutare a dissolvere un a quantità smisurata di karma negativo.

Puja di Kṣitigarbha durante il Festival di Qingming
Kṣitigarbha è una manifestazione del Buddha molto venerata tra i cinesi a causa del suo grande voto di proteggere coloro che si trovano nei regni inferiori. Ciò è particolarmente importante per i cinesi, che sono preoccupati per i loro antenati che potrebbero essere rinati nei regni inferiori. Durante il Festival di Qingming, conosciuto anche come il Giorno dello Spazzamento delle Tombe (e talvolta chiamato Giorno della Memoria Cinese o Giorno degli Antenati), che è una festa tradizionale cinese celebrata dalla comunità cinese in tutta l’Asia, la Puja di Kṣitigarbha è una pratica comune e riveste un’importanza significativa per i buddisti cinesi.
CHI PUÒ PARTECIPARE
Non ci sono prerequisiti formali.
SPONSORIZZA LE PUJA
Molte persone guardare varie Puja online eseguite dai Lama credendo di ricevere un enorme beneficio. È anche comune in Occidente che le persone chiedano a un Lama di pregare per loro senza fare alcuna offerta e senza avere un legame personale. Anche se, come uno degli esseri senzienti, sei connesso ai risultati della Puja fatta per il beneficio di tutti gli esseri senzienti, la connessione karmica è incredibilmente debole, e quindi lo è anche il risultato. Normalmente in certi momenti della vita, quando è necessaria una puja o delle preghiere per cancellare vari debiti karmici, ostacoli o malattie di origine karmica, è consuetudine fare offerte in denaro al Lama per le preghiere e le puja. Ciò crea una connessione karmica più forte con la puja che, di conseguenza, ha un risultato karmico maggiore.

This is an incredible opportunity to learn how to practice pujas to generate vast amounts of merit and purification. In Vajrayana there are many types of burnt offering pujas that utilize fire. They can be sorted into 3 main categories, Sur (smell offering), Sang Chö (smoke offering), and Jinsek (fire offering). All of these practices have incredibly profound meaning at their core which creates the conditions for the accumulation of both merit and wisdom simultaneously. While each practice invites the Buddha, Bodhisattvas, dharma protectors, local deities, and beings of the 6 realms amongst all others to the practice, they have different focuses for the karma they are working with.
Khentrul Rinpoche has kindly agreed to teach us about these three types of fire offerings. He has composed and arranged compositions of these pujas that a student can do in an extensive and also a simple form at home after this workshop. On Sunday he will perform the king of Fire Pujas, the peaceful Kalachakra Fire puja written by Bamda Gelek Gyatso and Lama Lutrin. This one is larger and more extensive then what we he will teach us how to perform for ourselves.
The 3 Offering Practices
Sur Dotgu Kuntsol – The Gift of All Needs
The Sur is a smell offering that uses fire to burn a collection of offerings to create a sent offering. The main focus is all the bardo beings, hungry ghosts, whoever has incredible suffering, and whomever we have a karmic debt to. This is commonly used as an offering to purify our own and our ancestor’s karmic debt for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Sang Chodtrun Gyatso – The Ocean of Offerings
While this one invites all the buddha, bodhisattvas and deities the main emphasis is on the local deities and dharma protectors. The sang chö (smoke) offering helps to clear karmic obstacles in our samsaric life in to have a precious human birth to practice dharma.
Jinsek Dropan Gyatso – The Ocean of Benefits
There are many types of Jinsek but they all focus on purification. There is extensive offering with many different substances made into the fire that is each linked to creating different beneficial results. This creates the condition to purify anybody’s negative karma and their body.
Practical Workshop Includes:
-Teaching on the different types of fire Pujas Sur, Sang Chö and Jinsek
-Demonstration of how to do each type of Puja at home in a simple form
-Instructions and prayers so you can practice them yourself
-There will be an opportunity for questions and sharing throughout the two days
-Audios of the chanting of the 3 Fire Pujas
-List of Ingrediants and Supplies You will need to do the Pujas
-Instructions on How to set up a fire for the different types of pujas
Sponsor the Pujas
Many people enjoy watching various Pujas online performed by Lamas believing they are receiving a huge benefit. It is also common in the West for people to ask a lama to pray for them without making any offering or having a personal connection. While, as one of all sentient beings, you are connected to the results of the Puja made for the benefit of all sentient beings, the karmic connection is incredibly weak, and therefore so is the result. Normally during certain times in one’s life when a Puja or prayers are required to clear various karmic debts, obstacles, or karmically-based illness, it is customary to make financial offerings to the Lama for prayers and Pujas. This creates a stronger Karmic connection to the Puja, which creates a stronger karmic result.

In honor of Jetsun Taranatha’s Parinirvana, Khentrul Rinpoche will begin to give a commentary on one of Taranatha’s most precious texts, the Zhentong Nyingpo (The Essence of Zhentong). The commentary will then continue over the next several weekends and be accessible publicly in the learning center to those who sign up for free access.
Jetsun Taranatha is one of the most important Joanng lineage masters. He is revered not just by the Jonang but by my many lineages as he studied them in depth along with the Indian tantric systems. He was particularly well known for understanding the view of each system in an undistorted way from the philosophical perspective of that system. Most people, as they learn aspects of different philosophies, mix an underlying bias or view into their understanding of the system in which they either believe the most or are the most familiar. He did not do this and could argue from the perspective of the view he was holding.
The Zhentong Nyingpo is a very special text that explains the Zhentong (emptiness of other) view of the great middle way in relationship to other spiritual systems. This is an opportunity to examine and learn how the Zhentong view is similar and different from that of other views. Of course, for those who understand and believe the Buddhist perspective, this text shows the arguments of how the philosophical system of Zhentong is superior in relation to Rangtong (emptiness of self) and also other spiritual systems. This establishes Zhentong as the completion Dharma.
You don’t necessarily have to believe in the superiority of Zhentong to listen to and benefit from understanding this text. You can look at the text as a learning opportunity to understand the strengths, weaknesses, differences, and essence of various systems. This creates a philosophical mental map of how spiritual systems are in relation to each other.
This is a huge subject that Jetsun Taranatha has taken and compared in such a small text. Hence this text is considered to be the essence (nyingpo).
Commentaries are often hard for translators to translate in real-time if their root text has not been translated to their language. Therefore this event is scheduled to be in Engish, with translations only available at the discretion of the translation groups.
