Why This Role Is Important

This role directly supports Rinpoché’s vision to create the Golden Age of peace and harmony on earth through the Kalachakra Tantra.   Your work helps Dzokden to inspire transformative experiences that cultivate deep inner realization through a strong compassionate and devoted heart.  The virtue generated through your Dharma service is dedicated to the accumulation of merit which is essential for the path to enlightenment.  You have the opportunity to practice the path through a mundane, samsaric role and see how it is possible to transform ordinary work into extraordinary opportunities.  This will help you learn to walk the real tantric path.
