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.

We are very excited to offer this fireside chat between Khentrul Rinpoche and Judith Simmer-Brown in advance of the Kalachakra Empowerment at Shambhala International. The renowned Kalachakra-tantra, the most detailed of Vajrayana literature, speaks about the degenerate age and the coming Golden Age. The Shambhala teachings, said to be the hidden inner teachings of the Kalachakra, envision an enlightened society imbued with harmony, compassion, and warriorship. What are the Shambhala teachings of the Kalachakra, and how do they relate to the terma lineages and visions of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche?

Offering Amounts
Your offering to event this helps us cover the cost of the 2023 Kalachakra Empowerment Program in Boulder, Colorado. We have left this event as a sliding scale to ensure accessibility to anyone globally those who is considering taking the Kalachakra empowerment and want to understand this connection more fully. This talk topic has been requested many times in different areas of the world.
This event is both a very special restricted event and also a fundraiser for Khentrul Rinpoche’s Kalki King Thangka project. Please read the information fully on this precious opportunity to bringing this strong Karmic connection to the Kalki Kings in our world.
This is a special rare restricted empowerment that has been requested many times and is being offered for the first time by Khentrul Rinpoche. Please read the information fully before signing up.
Khentrul Rinpoche received the empowerment, transmission, a special practice text and special rare blessed pills for this Black Dzambhala Practice in 2006 from HH Jigme Dorje Rinpoche, the abbot of Dzamthang monastery and the head of the Jonang lineage. He was given this secretly with the conditions that he must not tell anyone about this and practice in private until after HH Jigme Dorje entered into Parinirvana. Many students have requested this empowerment and teaching before but Rinpoche has never given it. He has chosen this year of HH Jigme Dorje entrance into parinirvana to be the auspicious time because Rinpoche has had many signs and indications in his dreams that it is the right time to give this. We do not know when and if he will give it again.
What are the Benefits of the Wrathful Black Dzambhala Practice?
Black Dzambhala is one of the 5 wealth yakshas. While our community often practices the yellow form based on accumulating wealth and the red form based on increasing fame, we have never been able to practice the most powerful form which is the Black Dzambhala. The black form is an extremely wrathful standing on other yakshas. He is known for controlling and magnetizing vast wealth,and resources to bring practitioners financial abundance, spiritual realization and a good relationship with the family, partner or spouse. Wrathful black Dzambhala works to harmonize the yin and yang, feminine and masculine aspects in relationships. For those who do not have a husband, wife, partner or children, it brings them. For those who are already in relationships, it helps create harmony and remove problems. While these worldly benefits are huge, black Dzambhala also brings spiritual realization. This is an extremely powerful practice that can help control wealth of one’s enemies, remove obstacles to wealth and bring in the wealth of money or a partner in a dramatic way. For this reason, the practice must be done secretly and be kept private to yourself. The black form subdues ego and greed to purify the practitioner to develop vast wealth which in its ultimate form is truly spiritual attainment, enlightenment. To receive these benefits you must do some practice at least 4 times a year. To receive a huge benefit you need to do this practice every week.
Special Practice Packages and Sponsorship Opportunity
In order for students to practice this, Rinpoche is arranging the very special consecration of some copper Black Dzambhala statues filled with many blessed pills containing precious substances and holy relics. A very limited number of Gold Black Dzambhala statues will be filled with the blessed pills and holy relics along with the special pills from Khentrul Rinpoche’s personal collection that HH Jigme Dorje Rinpoche made specifically for this Black Dzambhala practice. We are also arranging the correct Thangka for this practice to be created for students who would like.
Anyone is welcome to participate in this empowerment who will follow the instructions. We have a very small enough of the practice packages. Each package helps create a karmic connection to the Kalki King Thangka project. For each person who makes the offering for the Gold Statue we will have a custom ordered Kalki King Thangka painted for Dzokden. To learn more about the Kalki King Thangka Painting project click here.
Important Special Event Restrictions
This empowerment has several special conditions listed below that all of the attendees are requested to follow.Khentrul Rinpoche is giving this for the first time after secretly keeping the requirements given to him by HH Jigme Dorje Rinpoche and ask that you do the same for him.
Because Black Dzambhala is so wrathful that Rinpoche has created these requests for your own benefit.
1) You must keep it a secret that you have received this empowerment. Even if someone asks you if you have it, you can not say that you have received it.
2) You must make an offering of generosity to receive the empowerment and practice materials as listed below. Karmically this deity is based on vast generosity. Since this form is extremely wrathful and powerful, it is not suitable for a person who does not have the ability to make a financial offering or who practices stinginess as the foundation. In order to make more merit, Rinpoche is specifically putting all the offerings for the practice packages to create holy objects that will bring many blessings to the world. This is a way to make the generosity vast that is offered.
3) You can not show or share your text with anyone, this includes other Lamas and Dharma teachers. It is for your own personal use only. 4) You must do the practice at least 4 times a year and say the mantra 100x every week for at least 1 year. It is better to do the practice every week for 1 year if you really want to see a big result. The results are not only financial but you will be connected to Shambhala and protected by the Kalk Kings of Shambhala and your ability to have supporting partners and family in your life.5) Registration must be made in advance so that your practice materials will be available. Last minute registrations will only be accepted for attendance unless materials are still available.
Special Practice Packages
In order for students to have the most effective practice, Rinpoche arranged the consecration of statues and Thangkas.
We can not offer any financial aid for this event. If you are not able to make the offering at this time, you do not have the right current karmic conditions to do this practice. Please look for a Yellow Dzambhala empowerment in the future which we are able to be more flexible around.
All proceeds from the offerings will be put to merit making Dharma activities through Dzokden. To see a list of the projects we sponsor, you can click here.

ВАДЖРАПАНИ:
Укроти своих демонов
Воспользуйтесь силой всех Будд, чтобы устранить внутренние и внешние препятствия на пути к реализациям. Ваджрапани, воплощение силы всех будд десяти направлений и трех времен, — бесстрашный бодхисаттва десятого бхуми и хранитель буддийских тантр.
Кхентрул Ринпоче дарует посвящение особого Ваджрапани, известного как Разрушитель демонов, и практику, которую лама Лутрин (Лобсанг Тринле) использовал во время ретрита, тем самым излечив себя от проказы. Это посвящение и практика помогут осознать свою внутреннюю неистовую силу и преодолеть препятствия на пути.
ЛИЧНАЯ СВЯЗЬ КХЕНТРУЛА РИНПОЧЕ С ВАДЖРАПАНИ“Для
меня Ваджрапани особенный, потому что мой коренной лама, лама Лобсанг Тринле, считался проявлением Ваджрапани. Он излечился от проказы во время долгого уединенного затворничества по практике Ваджрапани. В конце ретрита он достиг того же уровня реализации, что и великие индийские махасиддхи.
Учения моего коренного ламы о Ваджрапани были особыми. Я получил это посвящение много раз, поскольку многие высокие учителя приходили в наш монастырь с этой целью. Все получающие это посвящение не сомневались в реализации мастера. Они говорили, что лама Лутрин — истинный Ваджрапани, поскольку были свидетелями того, как он укрощал невероятно могущественных демонов, которые хотят причинить вред нашим регионам”.Эта практика имеет особую связь с царем Шамбалы Сучандрой, попросившего Будду Шакьямуни передать учения тантры Калачакры и принесшего эти учения в Шамбалу. Сучандра был эманацией Ваджрапани.
ВКЛЮЧЕНО В ЭТО МЕРОПРИЯТИЕ
Посвящение Ваджрапани (дженанг), устная передача практики (лунг), предварительное обучение и практические занятия с сессией вопросов и ответов.
ВАДЖРАПАНИ ДЛЯ ПРАКТИКУЮЩИХ КАЛАЧАКРУ
Ринпоче говорит, что нам необязательно практиковать Ваджрапани отдельно, но важно установить связь. Затем, вспоминая о нем, мы можем интегрировать это в свою практику, например в рамках пути Калачакры. Также можно избрать Ваджрапани как основную практику и рассматривать ее как не противоречащую пути Калачакры либо сосредоточиться на системе Калачакры, не видя ее отделения от Ваджрапани, поскольку он включен в мандалу Калачакры.
ДЛЯ КОГО ЭТО И КАК МНЕ ПОДГОТОВИТЬСЯ?
Нет никаких предварительных условий. Посвящение подходит для практикующих всех уровней. Предыдущее изучение буддизма и практика полезны, но необязательны. Если вы новичок на буддийском пути, вам может быть полезен курс Кхентрула Ринпоче “Что реально?” в нашем учебном центре и книга Ринпоче “Раскрытие своей сокровенной истины” (часть 1 и 2).
Для ознакомления с биографией коренного ламы Ринпоче и его связи с Ваджрапани вы можете ознакомиться с книгой “Царство Шамбалы”, где Ринпоче написал обо всей линии Калачакры, которой он придерживается.
РАСПИСАНИЕ ПО ЧАСОВЫМ ПОЯСАММосква, Россия

КАК БУДЕТ ПРОХОДИТЬ ПОСВЯЩЕНИЕ В РЕЖИМЕ ОНЛАЙН
1) Каждый участник регистрируется на мероприятие и получает доступ к курсу в личном кабинете на learn.dzokden.org;
2) Вы должны получить посвящение онлайн в режиме реального времени. Мы не записываем посвящения. Перед посвящением вы получите информацию о некоторых простых принадлежностях, которые следует приобрести, чтобы сделать этот опыт максимально аутентичным. Если вы не в состоянии приобрести их все, не волнуйтесь. Они символичны, и вы все еще можете получить посвящение. Что еще более важно, вы должны понимать, что происходит. Просто посещение посвящения не означает, что вы его получите. Вы должны знать, что происходит. Чтобы гарантировать, что посвящение получит каждый, Ринпоче любезно предоставит вам свою книгу с инструкциями в электронном виде, чтобы вы могли следить за ним и точно знать, что происходит. Вам не разрешается делиться этой книгой с кем-либо еще или предоставлять доступ к материалам по посвящению. Это только для вашего личного пользования. Ринпоче обычно раздает электронную книгу накануне вечером, но если для вас проблематично одновременно читать электронную книгу и быть в zoom, то, пожалуйста, укажите это в регистрационной форме, чтобы мы могли решить этот вопрос;
3) Вы получите доступ к zoom для каждой сессии.
РЕКОМЕНДОВАННОЕ ПОДНОШЕНИЕ

Dying is an essential part of life; something that we all will experience. Whether you or a loved one are facing death today or decades from now, it’s important to understand what it means to live and die well. In this day long teaching, Khentrul Rinpoche will take us on a journey through what is known as the ‘bardo of death’, or transitionary period, between one life and the next, and the tremendous opportunity it offer if we view them as an opportunity for spiritual transformation.Khentrul Rinpoche will give teachings and transmission on the Kalachakra Phowa, a special practice to direct our transition to enlightenment at death.If we know how to make the most of this time, we can identify ways to reach liberation to the Sublime tantric realm of Shambhala to realize enlightenment in our next life. If we are exceptional practicers we can realize enlightenment through death. In order to do this we need to properly understand how to prepare and what to do at the right times. If you or a loved one is preparing for death this is a good course to find out what you can do to help them at the moment of death.
