A Better World – Kalachakra Prophecy and the Coming Golden Age
In strong and shaky times, where everything is changing extremely rapidly, we recognise it’s essential that we gain a greater understanding of the purpose and potential of our personal and collective evolution. There are very few singular spiritual paths or concepts able to bring a full spectrum wisdom and clarity to give us direction and confidence that everything is going to be OKAY and something totally extraordinary is unfolding. Imagine, that in ‘ reality’ as uncomfortable as things may seem we are being prepared for a Golden Age. This is a huge thing, and is very real. So here is a question for you…What do you understand The Golden Age to actually be?
This is an invitation to receive the blessing of blessings that will help you rest in Natural Great Peace from the exhausted mind beaten helplessly by karma and neurotic thoughts.
Rinpoche as he is fondly known, is an adept on teaching the Kalachakra System in a really special vivid way that we can have a deeper understanding of the reality of Shambhala and how vast amounts of Beings attained Buddhahood and live in a perfected state that is in fact our primordial innate nature.

In this talk, Khentrul Rinpoche has invited Tulku Lobsang to discuss the importance of working with our physical bodies especially in the Kalachakra Yogas.

The Golden Age and Shambhala Fireside Chat with Khentrul Rinpoche & Judith Simmer-Brown
This fireside chat between Khentrul Rinpoche and Judith Simmer-Brown occurred before the 2023 Kalachakra Empowerment in Boulder, Colorado. The renowned Kalachakra-tantra, the most detailed Vajrayana literature, speaks about the degenerate age and the coming Golden Age. The Shambhala teachings are said to be the hidden inner teachings of the Kalachakra, which envision an enlightened society imbued with harmony, compassion, and the diligence of a warrior spirit fighting for the good of all sentient beings. What are the Shambhala teachings of the Kalachakra, and how do they relate to the visions of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche?
