Jonang Kalachakra Completion Stage: 2024-29 Program Introduction

This event is available Online only.

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.
