21 Taras Empowerment with Khentrul Rinpoche

21 Taras Empowerment with Khentrul Rinpoche

This event is available both Online and In-person.

Khentrul Rinpoche will offer the 21 Taras Empowerment, a profound blessing from the great Mother of All Buddhas, Tara. Known for her swift compassion and fearless activity, Tara manifests in twenty-one principal forms, each expressing a unique enlightened quality to help beings overcome obstacles and fulfill their aspirations. Through this empowerment, participants will receive not only the blessings of Tara but also the practice of sadhanas related to the 21 Taras, enabling them to cultivate a living connection with her.

The Power of the 21 Taras

While all deities are endowed with the full array of enlightened qualities, each form of Tara highlights a particular aspect of her vast wisdom and compassion. This makes it easier for us to connect directly with her blessings in daily life. After the empowerment, practitioners can meditate on and invoke Tara in her various manifestations, allowing her qualities to blossom within their own hearts.

Some of the Taras include:

-Green Tara — the swift liberator who removes obstacles and fear.|
-White Tara — bestowing long life, healing, and vitality.
-Kurukulle — magnetizing positive conditions and enhancing love and harmony.

Together, the 21 Taras form a vast mandala of enlightened activity, empowering practitioners to swiftly accomplish both worldly and spiritual goals.

For those Who Wish to Create Conditions for Prosperity

This empowerment is deeply connected to the practice we perform at Dzokden at least 4 times a year on the Solstice and equinox. Drolmi Kazug practice, one of the most profound ritual methods to generate the causes for prosperity, longevity, harmonious relationships, and spiritual fulfillment. This form of the 21 Taras is the empowerment needed to perform the Wishfulfilling Vase practice with our community. karmic debts and attracting conditions of abundance. Receiving the 21 Taras Empowerment provides the essential foundation for engaging with Drolmi Kazug in a meaningful and authentic way.

While this empowerment does not include the oral transmission of the complete Drolmi Kazug long puja, participants who aspire to engage in the practice may receive the practice materials by purchasing the practice package, attending the short version of the Puja the following day and making the aspiration to receive the full transmission in the future. The full transmission is already being given in California in September of 2025 so this will not be available for many years.

Creating the Conditions for Fulfillment

Receiving the 21 Taras Empowerment and cultivating the Drolmi Kazug practice plants powerful karmic seeds of prosperity, healing, and spiritual accomplishment. Through devotion and diligent practice, these blessings not only enrich the practitioner’s life but also contribute to the flourishing of all beings and the creation of an enlightened golden age. We do the Drolmi Kazug Puja 4 times a year as a community. You can learn about the objects needed in our store.

Opolnomočenje Vadžra Vege (srditega Kalačakre)

Opolnomočenje Vadžra Vege (srditega Kalačakre)

Ta dogodek je na voljo prek spleta in osebno.

Redka priložnost, da se povežete s srditim Kalačakro, kraljem Tantre

Dzokden je počaščen, da lahko napove zelo redko in dragoceno priložnost za prejem Dženanga (opolnomočenja) Vadžra Vege s Shar Khentrulom Jamphelom Lodröjem Rinpočejem v Singapuru.

Vadžra Vega je srdita oblika Šri Kalačakre, kralja tantre, čaščen kot najvišji od vseh zaščitnikov Dharme. Vadžra Vega kot zaščitniški vidik Kalačakre uteleša silovito in sočutno moč, ki je potrebna, da preseka korenino nevednosti in varuje praktikante na poti.

S tem opolnomočenjem bodo učenci vzpostavili sveto vez z Vadžra Vego in dovoljenje za prakso Kratke sadhane Vadžra Vege.

Vadžra Vega: najvišji zaščitnik

Bistvo Vadžra Vege izhaja iz nekonceptualne prvobitne modrosti, ki se manifestira, ko ventrovi vstopijo v centralni kanal, s čimer se preseka temeljna nevednost konceptualne misli. To globoko stanje predstavlja osnovo, na kateri se pojavi Šest vadžra jog, zato je Vadžra Vega neločljiv od najvišje poti spoznanja v tantri Kalačakre. Ko vzpostavimo kolo zaščite z Vadžra Vego, simbolično zaustavimo dualistične pojave in bivamo v nekonceptualni modrosti.

Priprava na smrt z Vadžra Vego

Prejem Dženanga Vadžra Vege ni samo blagoslov za to življenje, ampak tudi priprava za tisto, kar pride onkraj. Če v bardu po smrti prepoznamo Vadžra Vego, je to prepoznanje naše lastne najgloblje resnice. To opolnomočenje nam podeli rešilno vrv zaščite in modrosti in nas vodi proti osvoboditvi in prebujenju. Sicer si moramo po svojih najboljših močeh prizadevati, da bi ustvarili karmična nagnjenja za sponznanje svoje lastne svete resnice že v tem življenju, če pa nam to ne uspe, pa bomo v stanju barda po smrti morda lahko prepoznali Vadžra Vego v morju srditih božanstev in se osvobodili. Običajno se, če je človek prestrašen, v dojemanju celotni svet upočasni. Tako boste morda z večjo verjetnostjo prepoznali silovito in zastrašujoče božanstvo, kot je Vadžra Vega, kot pa ljubeče božanstvo, ki vam vliva gotovost.

Ta dogodek vključuje naslednje ustne prenose in prakse:
–  Kratka sadhana Vadžra Vege
–  Hvalnice Vadžra Vegi

Sadhana Kolo zaščite Vadžra Vege sama ni vključena v ta dogodek.

Ker pa je to ena od praks, ki jih naša skupina izvaja vsak mesec na dan zaščitnikov, da z njimi ustvarjam pogoje za zlato dobo, bomo sestavili seznam zavzetih učencev, ki želijo v prihodnosti prakticirati bolj poglobljeno. Rinpoče je povedal, da bo morda, če bo dovolj učencev pokazalo resnično zavzetost za Kratko sadhano in izrazilo svojo namero, ponovno podelil omejeno sadhano Kolo zaščite Vadžra Vege, verjetno v letu 2027.

2025 Wisdom Retreat: White Manjushri and Red Saraswati Empowerments with Khentrul Rinpoche

2025 Wisdom Retreat: White Manjushri and Red Saraswati Empowerments with Khentrul Rinpoche

This is a paid event and is available both Online and In-person.

Weekend Retreat: Cultivating Wisdom

Retreat at a Glance:

– Red Saraswati Empowerment
– White Manjushri Empowerment
– Oral transmission of the practice texts
-Teaching on the Wisdom Chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva

To become fully realized Buddhas, we must accumulate both Merit and Wisdom. This retreat focuses on connecting with the teachings of Wisdom, which arises not just from knowledge but through awareness. By cultivating wisdom and compassion with an altruistic mindset, we can overcome the darkness in our world and help manifest the Golden Age on Earth.

Wisdom and compassion are like two wings of a bird—both are needed to soar. Through deep personal transformation and dedicated practice, we reduce suffering and become better equipped to help others. Despite the challenges in the world, we can start our path today and embody the peace we wish to see

Khentrul Rinpoche’s connection with Manjushri

Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche is name means Manjushri and was bestowed on him at ordination. The name was his preceptor root guru’s name and it is believed the person receiving this name embodies the qualities of that guru.

White Manjushri – Gentle Methods in Wisdom and Sweet Speech

White Manjushri helps us cultivate wisdom, specifically through gentle methods that help us teach others through our speech.

Red Sarasvati – Intuitive Female Wisdom

Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow the Wang (full empowerment) of the Goddess Red Saraswati who is the consort of Manjushri and the female embodiment of wisdom. The empowerment comes from the Jonang tradition, based on Jetsun Taranatha.

Both Buddhists and non-Buddhists worship her equally. In the vedic tradition, Brahma created the world, and for a long time after, they didn’t have any sounds or sentient beings. Many gods came to him and said, “you made the world, but there are no beings and no sounds.” Then Brahma spilled water from his vase, and there became this incredible sound, this sound is known as the goddess Sarasvati. So that is why she is known as Brahma’s daughter. While the story varies across cultures, the Tibetan tradition features multiple forms of Sarasvati, including a powerful, four-armed tantric version. She is especially worshipped by scholars and spiritual practitioners for her transformative, magnetizing power.

Way of the Bodhisattva – Wisdom Chapter Teaching

PREPARATION TEACHING FOR 2026 YEAR LONG ADVANCED COURSE

In 2026 Khentrul Ripoche will be giving teachings on the 20 Sutras of the Definitive Meaning of Dharma, this is the ultimate wisdom teachings. To help prepare disciples for this, he will bestow the White Manjushri and Red Saraswati Empowerments along with preparatory teachings on Shantideva’s Way of the Bodhisattva Wisdom chapter. The teachings on the Sutras of Definitive Meaning were from high level Bodhisattvas and are deeper even than the wisdom teachings of Shantideva. For this reason it’s encouraged to take this teaching and empowerment in preparation.
