Online: 1000 Buddhas Empowerment and Puja with Khentrul Rinpoche
Join us for a transformative empowerment. During this extraordinary week-long retreat, participants will connect with the essence of Shakyamuni Buddha through the study and practice of the 1000 Buddha empowerment (wang), puja, and sadhana. This is a rare opportunity, as it marks the first time Khentrul Rinpoche has offered this empowerment in such an auspicious location.
The Thousand Buddha Empowerment is rooted in the Nyingma Lineage, tracing back to King Songtsen Gampo, an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. Khentrul Rinpoche received this empowerment as a young child and recently renewed it through a personal transmission from H.E. Kathok Rigzin Chenpo. The main deity of this empowerment is Avalokiteshvara, representing the compassion, names, and mantras of 2200 Buddhas.
Connecting to the power of each of the 1000 Buddhas enhances your spiritual practice by linking you to all the Buddhas of this fortunate eon. Through this connection, we work towards realizing a Golden Age of Peace and Harmony.
Rinpoche has requested monks in different traditions bestow oral transmissions but as we are in India and everything is unreliable here please note the sessions that say “Potential” on the schedule

HOW THE ONLINE EMPOWERMENT WILL WORK
1) Register each attendee that will be receiving the empowerment. Choose your preferred language. You will receive a confirmation email. After that, you will be added to our online learning center at learn.dzokden.org.
2) Before the empowerment, you will receive information on some simple supplies you should get to help make the experience as authentic as possible. If you are not able to get them all don’t worry. They are symbolic and you can still receive the empowerment. More important you must understand what is happening. Just attending empowerment does not mean you receive it. You must know what is going on. To ensure everyone will receive empowerment, Rinpoche will kindly make his instruction booklet available to you as an eBook so you can follow along so you know exactly what is happening. You are not allowed to share this program book with anyone else or give them access to the empowerment. This is private for your personal use. Rinpoche typically gives the eBook out the night before but if this is a technical problem for you (you can’t read an eBook and be on zoom at the same time) please indicate on the registration form so we can work to accommodate you.
3) You will receive access to zoom for each of the sessions. While Khentrul Rinpoche wants the attendees there for every session, we have indicated the absolute required sessions so as not to have to a lot of emails about special circumstances. That said, he would prefer you are there for all of them
OFFERING DANA TO RINPOCHE
It’s customary at the end of empowerment for students to make an offering of Dana to the guru. As this is an online event, you can make the offering of Dana to Rinpoche here.

ХАНБРҮЛ РИНБҮЧИГИЙН ТУХАЙШар Ханбрүл Жамбал Лодро Ринбүчи бол 20 хүртлээ Төвдөд сарлаг маллаж тарни тоолон амьдарч явжээ. Тэрээр бодьсадва нарын уярам түүх намтрыг сонссоор бишрэл сүжиг нэмэгдэж ар гэрээ ардаа орхиж, төвдийн Буддын бүхий л гол урсгалуудын хорин-тав гаруй мастеруудаар хичээл ном заалган явсан байна. Үл алагчлах үзлийг ийнхүү баримталж явсны дүнд тэрбээр Римэ \үл-ялгаварлах үзэлт\ Мастер хэмээн нэрлэгдэх болж, бодьсадва Акашагарбагийн хувилгаан Цагийн хүрдний аугаа мастер Нагваан Чойжин Жямцын хойд дүрээр танигдсан ажээ. Хэдийгээр түүний баримтлалын гол үндэс нь энэ хорвоо дээрх олон шашны урсгалын давуу талуудыг онцлох явдал боловч тэдгээрийн дотроос өөрийн уламжилж ирсэн Жонан-Шамбалын Урсгалд онцгойлон шүтэж явдаг байна. Барууны олон эрдэмтэдийн устаж үгүй болсон гэж тооцдог энэхүү Цагийн хүрдний өндөр шатны дадлагуудыг тэрбээр дотоод бие сэтгэлийг гадаад ертөнцтэй хоршуулан зохицолдуулж амьдрах гүнзгий аргууд хэмээн үздэг билээ.
2014 оноос эхлээд Ханбрүл Ринбүчи системтэй тодорхой зааварчилгаа бүхий Цагийн хүрдний Замаар замнаж өөрийн нандин үнэнээ илрүүлэн гэгээрэлд хүрч болох талаар сурган дэлхийн гуч гаруй орноор аялаад байна. Хүмүүст сэтгэлийн уян хатан байдлаар хэрхэн ялгаварт үзлийг арилгаж, дэлхий ертөнцийг алтан эрин болгон хувиргаж болох нигүүсэл энэрэлд тулгуурласан нийгэмлэгийг бий болгох чин эрмэллэлээр ийнхүү номоо айлдан яваа нэгэн билээ.
