Online and In-Person: 2023 California Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment (South/East)
Khentrul Rinpoche has kindly agreed to bestow the Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment (Jenang / Permission Blessing) to support all practitioners wishing to do purification practice, and in particular those working with the Ngondro.
BENEFITS OF THE PRACTICE
“Vajrasattva practice allows you to uncover the reality of your Buddha-nature, which is currently hidden as a result of defilements created by attachment, aggression and delusion. Our current situation is like a dirty piece of glass. This practice provides you with a powerful method to wash away the dirt while being confident that underneath there is crystal clear glass which is completely pure and unstained. Through the practice of Vajrasattva, this confidence will steadily grow as you come closer and closer to discovering the innate purity of your most profound nature.” (Khentrul Rinpoche)
This practice is done in the Jonang Kalachakra Ngondro for purification. If you are study and practicing this Ngondro, this retreat is highly recommended. You can take this empowerment no matter which form of Vajrasattva you practice.
WHO CAN ATTEND
There are no formal prerequisites. Previous Buddhist study and practice are very helpful but not required. If you can attend the Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment with Khentrul Rinpoche, you create more chances for success in the practice as this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the teacher.

Khentrul RinpocheMestre Kalachakra RimêKhentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö é o fundador e diretor espiritual da Dzokden. O Rinpoche é autor de vários livros como: Unveiling Your Sacred Truth, The Great Middle Way: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness, A Happier Life (em tradução para o português) e The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path (em tradução para o português). Khentrul Rinpoche passou os primeiros 20 anos de sua vida pastoreando iaques e cantando mantras nos platôs tibetanos. Inspirado pelos bodhisatvas, ele deixou sua família para estudar em uma variedade de monastérios sob a orientação de mais de vinte e cinco mestres em todas as tradições do Budismo Tibetano. Devido à sua abordagem não-sectária, ele recebeu o título de Mestre Rimê (não-sectário) e foi identificado como a reencarnação do famoso Mestre de Kalachakra Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. Embora seja central em seus ensinamentos o reconhecimento de que há grande valor na diversidade de todas as tradições espirituais encontradas nesse mundo, ele foca a tradição Jonang-Shambhala. Os ensinamentos de Kalachakra (“Roda do Tempo”) contêm métodos profundos para harmonizar nosso ambiente externo com o mundo interno de nosso corpo e mente, em última instância fazendo surgir a Era de Ouro de paz e harmonia (dzokden).
