Unveiling Your Sacred Truth: The External Reality

Includes the foundational Concepts in Buddhism Related to Renunciation and Refuge

Rinpoché explores the external reality of the world that we encounter on a daily basis. Through a wealth of practical advice, he provides us with a variety of methods for working with the many ups and downs that we face. He then encourages us to probe deeper into the very nature of our experience in order to develop insight into what is truly important to us and how to make the most of the precious opportunities that this life has to offer.

Unveiling Your Sacred Truth: The Internal Reality

Sections on Bodhicitta, Purification, Merit Accumulation and Guru Yoga

Rinpoché explores the internal reality of our personal experience in a way that emphasises our fundamental nature of love and compassion. On the basis of this authentic source of refuge, Rinpoché shows us how to integrate the distinctive philosophy of Zhentong Madhyamaka in order to reveal our sacred truth in accordance with the vast teachings of the Bodhisattva Maitreya. He then provides us with the practical instructions for engaging with the Kalachakra Preliminaries.

Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path

This book has the complete Ngondro in a word for word commentary.

Even though hundreds of thousands of people have attended a Kalachakra empowerment, very few actually know how to put the Kalachakra teachings into practice. In this direct and clear commentary on Jetsun Taranatha’s classic text “The Divine Ladder”, Khentrul Rinpoché reveals the profound methods which have been used by Kalachakra masters for hundreds of years to achieve extraordinary realisations. 

Profound Path of Vajra Yoga Practice Text

JONANG KĀLACHAKRA NGONDRO PROGRAM

 

Dzokden Kalapa’s 2 Year Ngondro Program 2023 – 2025 — Join Any Time!

This program is for you if you want structure and support to start, continue, or complete the Kālachakra Ngondro.

The Kālachakra Ngondro Program is a 2-year long program created for students/practitioners who want to deepen themselves in the Kālachakra Path in a structured, step-by-step guided process.

The Ngondro — also called the “Preliminary Practices” — prepares you to uncover your own Buddha nature. If you want to completely unveil this perfect nature, the Kālachakra Ngondro prepares you for the very subtle and profound yogic practices of the Completion Stage called the ‘Six Vajra Yogas’ of the Kālachakra Tantra. You can benefit by doing the Kālachakra Ngondro even if you do not aspire to engage in serious meditation practices of the Kālachakra Completion Stage in this lifetime.

Our spiritual director, Shar Khentrul Rinpoché, offers a flexible approach in order to embrace a variety of practitioners because being fixed on only one traditional way may not be a match for everyone. Developing familiarization with the Kālachakra Ngondro practices can be adjusted individually according to your own personal inclination.
