Finding Your Sacred Voice

About This Program

Finding Your Sacred Voice is dedicated to the yoga of speech, helping practitioners unlock the transformative potential of sound within the Kalachakra Path.  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 and peace.  We have several initiatives to honor and preserve the Jonang lineage through a variety of sacred sound offerings:

• Specialized Umze Training Course providing instruction on becoming an Umze, or “chant leader.”  This course teaches practitioners to serve as the vital heartbeat of the group, holding the authentic rhythm and melody that enable the sangha to merge into a single, powerful stream of intention.   
• Each April, Dzokden volunteers all over the world host the 24-Hour Mantra Recitation to celebrate Khentrul Rinpoche’s birthday allowing practitioners to come together for this profound sound offering to Rinpoche.
• The Dzokden Sound of Dharma Library is a growing collection of sound offerings from practitioners carrying forth the authentic sounds of the Jonang lineage.  

Our Aspiration and Why This is Important

We offer this program to support practitioners throughout the world to learn the yoga of speech, deepen their spiritual connection and broadcast a frequency of wisdom, harmony, and peace.  By teaching others to preserve the authentic sounds of the Jonang lineage through these projects, we hope to unify the global sangha into a single, powerful stream of intention and generate a continuous wave of merit that facilitates a profound shift in global consciousness.

We invite you as part of the global sangha to join a continuous wave of merit, using the power of speech to bridge our world with the ultimate potential of Shambhala.
