About this Program
Khentrul Rinpoche emphasizes that for the Kalachakra Path to flourish, practitioners must be able to connect with the precise resources that support their meditative stages. Authentic Supports for Practice is the vital bridge that brings consecrated objects and sacred liturgy out into the modern world, enabling those pursuing the Kalachakra Path to progress authentically which preserving this precious lineage. This program provides the essential foundations for a living practice through several key initiatives:
- Tantric Treasures: Much more than a “store,” this is a sacred gateway providing access to books, prayers, Jonang-Kalachakra texts and ritual objects that are otherwise unavailable to the world. The specialized ritual objects used in Drolmi Kazug contain rare substances consecrated and blessed by Rinpoche. All revenue is reinvested into creating more sacred objects, ensuring that this remains a merit-generating activity focused on practice rather than commerce.
- Finding Your Sacred Voice is dedicated to the Yoga of Speech, helping practitioners unlock the transformative potential of sound. By mastering the resonance of mantra and liturgy, we purify our internal subtle energies and broadcast a frequency of wisdom that facilitates a shift in global consciousness toward harmony.
- Umze Training Course provides instruction on becoming an Umze (chant leader). These practitioners serve as the vital heartbeat of the sangha, holding the authentic rhythm and melody that allow the group to merge into a single, powerful stream of intention.
- 24-Hour Mantra Recitation is a global sound offering held each April to celebrate Khentrul Rinpoche’s birthday. This event unites the international sangha in a continuous, profound offering of mantra that strengthens our collective merit and connection to the lineage.
- Dzokden Sound of Dharma Library is our growing digital archive of sacred sound offerings. This library preserves and carries forth the authentic melodies and liturgies of the Jonang lineage, ensuring these frequencies are available to practitioners everywhere.
Our Aspiration and Why This is Important
Our aspiration is to provide every practitioner with the authentic causes and conditions necessary to realize their ultimate potential. Khentrul Rinpoche teaches that the transition to a Golden Age requires more than just internal aspiration; it requires a gross-level manifestation of enlightened energy in our physical world. By making these rare texts, consecrated substances, and sacred sounds available, we are moving the Dharma from the subtle realm of individual meditation into a tangible reality that anyone can experience.
Providing these authentic supports is like offering a sacred mandala to the world. Each blessed object and each mastered mantra strengthens the global connection to Kalachakra, anchoring the frequency of Shambhala here on Earth. By equipping our global sangha with these authentic tools, we are creating the merit and collective wisdom required to shift global consciousness and birth a new era of universal peace and harmony.
