8 Shambhala Dharma Kings Empowerment with Khentrul Rinpoche
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow his mind terma of the 8 Shambhala Dharma King Empowerment at the Boulder Shambhala center. This is a rare opportunity for establishing a direct connection with the Rigdens of Shambhala. Rinpoche will also give an introductory teaching and a Q&A session after the empowerment as well as oral transmission of the mantras and the text.
About the Kings of Shambhala
The Kalki Kings are the Dharma Kings of the Sublime Realm of Shambhala who were able to skillfully unite their entire realm through the Kalachakra teachings. Their effort went much more beyond only alleviating biased differences like races, conflicting religious approaches, classes etc. They helped propagate and make the Kalachakra teachings in such a way, that their realm transformed into a pure Bodhisattva realm, happy and peaceful, where spiritual practice flourishes. Differently from wordly kings which are focused on protecting and expanding their territories, the Kalkis are Kings of the dharma, bodhisattva beings who manifest as great leaders out of their compassion and wisdom.
“In general we say that the Kalki Kings are inseparable from the 8 great bodhisattvas and the 10 wrathful dakas. They are incredibly powerful. For me, the Shambhala kings are much more special because of their particular connection with our own world. The Bodhisattvas and dakas possess a subtle body form, like a body of a being of the god realm, and so, only some individuals can connect with them. But the Shambhala Kings and Kalkis appeared in Shambhala as human beings, so that many people could benefit through connecting with them. And, of course, they manifest themselves not as an ordinary human being, but as an exceptional, extraordinary human being.
I have been dedicating myself intensively to prepare for this empowerment. I feel a strong connection with the Kalkis and I have no doubt that they are the greatest hope of our world for the manifestation of the Second Golden Age of Peace and Harmony.” (Khentrul Rinpoche)
WHO IS THIS FOR or HOW TO PREPARE MYSELF?
There are no prerequisites at all. It is suitable for all levels of practitioners. If you want to prepare yourself, you can do the online course Introduction to the Ngöndro available at our learning center. If you are already practicing dharma, you may benefit from the oral commentaries Rinpoche gave about his Shambhala prayers; they can be accessed in his official Youtube Channel. For knowing more about Shambhala and the Kalki Kings, we suggest the book “The Realm of Shambhala” by Rinpoche.

– Teachings on Marichi and Shambhala
The Goddess Marichi, 21st Tara and the Dharma Proctor of Shambhala
The radiant Goddess Marichi is the 21st Tara, blazing ahead of the sun. She is the Dharma protector of Kalapa at the center of the pure land of Shambhala. In Jetsun Taranatha’s teachings on the Taras she is at the completion stage of the Tara practice. Very powerful, she is the color of the sunset, a wondrous, glowing orange. She comes ahead of the dawning sun of great bliss and, like the sun, her blessings pervade everywhere.
She is worshiped all across Asia in many traditions. In Chinese astrology she is known as the Mother of the Big dipper, the goddess of astrology and of all 9 planets. In Japan the Ninja warriors worshiped her for her magical power of invisibility, a power the Ninja desire to possess.
Khentrul Rinpoche’s Personal Dharma Protector
Marichi (also known as Marīcī and Özer Chenma) came to Rinpoche’s life when he was a young boy herding yak cattles in Tibet. Without fences, it was quite difficult to take care of them. Some yaks hide themselves from the boy Rinpoche under rocks, and so used to spend the night in danger of being attacked by wolves. To help protect them, his family shared with him the Marichi mantra and the faith in her when he was still very young.
“I do not know exactly why, perhaps because of having no doubt when doing this or because of a special connection, when I recited her mantra and did the ritual according to the traditional manner of protecting the yaks, I have 100% guarantee that the yaks would be safe during the night. I never had problems with yaks being killed by the wolves since then, really never. So I kept that in mind and I recited innumerable mantras, many times, when I took care of them. So, afterwards, anytime when we had an obstacle I always relied on her.”
“So this is why the Tibetan says that praying for Marichi helps. But, of course, it does not help everyone individually, as it depends for example on the individual connection and on the level of faith. You must have no doubt at all. I have indestructible faith in Marichi since my childhood, so this helped me to develop many connections with her during my life.”
WHO IS THIS FOR or HOW TO PREPARE MYSELF?
There are no prerequisites at all. It is suitable for all levels of practitioners. Previous Buddhist study and practice are helpful but not mandatory.

We are delighted to announce that Rinpoché accepted our request to present his exciting new tantra book, ”The Tantric Path of Desire” in Austria.
Preconceptions and misunderstandings about tantra have spread everywhere. Both in Western countries, as well as Asian countries where these teachings originated. Lost amidst extreme views and with a lack of proper clarification, it is difficult for practitioners to reach the essence of the tantric teachings.
For Rinpoché, there is no doubt that different types of persons, including lay devotees, monastics, and non-religious ones, have the potential to learn the essence of tantric practice. This is because the tantric approach is closely aligned with our existing nature.
“In the tantric path, nothing that is naturally present in our mind needs to be eliminated. Instead, we learn means for putting these mental phenomena to work for us. When all these phenomena are subjugated by the brilliance of pure and true reality, they become our friends.” (Khentrul Rinpoché).
In this public teaching, Rinpoché will introduce the topic in general in preparation for the weekend retreat that will follow.

Naučite se najmočnejše oblike duhovne zaščite, ki se izvaja pred opolnomočenjem Kalačakre
Vadžravega, srdita oblika Šri Kalačakre in kralj Srditih Božanstev, je zaščitni vidik v Kalačakri. Vzpostavitev povezave z Vadžravego prinaša velike koristi. Bistvo Vadžravege je, da predstavlja nekonceptualno prvobitno modrost, ki se pojavi, ko vetrovi vstopijo v osrednji kanal. To je metoda, s katero odsekamo temeljno nezavedanje v obliki konceptualiziranja. Je tudi osnova ali vsebnik, v katerem nastane šest vajra jog. Ko z Vadžravego vzpostavimo zaščitno kolo, simbolno zaustavimo nastajanje dualističnih pojavnih oblik in ostanemo znotraj nekonceptualne modrosti. Vadžravega velja za kralja duhovne zaščite in njegovih šestdeset vzvišenih spremljevalcev ima neverjetno moč.
Khentrul Rinpoče še nikoli ni privolil, da bi to prakso, ki so jo nekoč varovali v ozkem krogu, podelil učencem. Ta močna praksa oblikuje sfero vadžra-zaščite, ki obsega Vadžravego in šestdeset zaščitnikov. Izvaja se na začetku rituala opolnomočenja Kalačakre in z njo zavaruje prostor. Je tudi del nekaterih obsežnih sadhan Kalačakre. Robert Thurman je zaprosil za Dženang Vadžravege in druge posebne prakse, povezane z mandalo uma. To je vzpodbudilo Yeshe Wangmo, ki je Rinpočeja prosila, da podeli Kolo zaščite Vadžravege, zelo posebno in redko prakso. Khentrul Rinpoče je nato privolil, da podeli to prakso, predvsem zaradi prvotne prošnje Roberta Thurmana za prakso Vadžravege.
Kdo je Vadžravega?
Za tiste, ki se bodo pridružili osebno, bo na voljo več dejavnosti, ki jih je mogoče izvajati le na kraju samem. Udeleženci umika bodo med drugimi ekskluzivnimi ponudbami sodelovali pri pripravi mandale za opolnomočenje in torme spremljevalcev, pa tudi pri ognjenem ritualu Kralja Kalačakre, če omenimo zgolj nekatere posebne daritve.
Povezati se s tem vidikom Kalačakre je izjemna in redka priložnost, saj ta povezava prinaša koristi v stanju Barda, v katerem se znajdemo po svoji smrti. Seveda moramo storiti vse, da ustvarimo karmične nagnjenosti k prepoznavanju svete resnice v tem življenju. Če nam tega prepoznavanja ne uspe prenesti v posmrtni Bardo, nam lahko pomaga, da v morju srditih božanstev prepoznamo Vadžravego in se tako osvobodimo. Zato smo pripravili tudi več krajših praks, ki lahko pomagajo povečati našo povezanost z Vadžravego in naše prepoznavanje Vadžravege.
Poduk o izvajanju rituala in uporabi muder bo vodila Yeshe Wangmo.
Na voljo spletnim udeležencem in obiskovalcem, ki se dogodka udeležijo osebno:
– Dženang – blagoslov opolnomočenja Vadžravege (srditega Kalačakre)
– Ustni prenos in besedilo prakse Hvalnic Vadžravege
– Ustni prenos in besedilo prakse Kratke prakse Vadžravege
– Ustni prenos in besedilo prakse sadhane Kolesa zaščite Vadžravege
– Khentrul Rinpoče bo podal kratek komentar o sadhani Kolesa zaščite
– Učenje R. Thurmana
– Učenje o zaščitnikih Dharme in pomenu njihovih obredov
– Lekcija o tem, kako pripraviti tormo in čajno daritev zaščitnikom Dharme
– Posebne mudre, povezane z Vadžravego in Kolesom zaščite in 12 daritev Kalačakre iz tradicije Džonang
– Navodila za izvajanje rituala z mudrami vodi Yeshe Wangmo
Na voljo zgolj obiskovalcem, ki se dogodka udeležijo osebno:
– Ognjeni obred Kralja Kalačakre
– Pouk izdelovanja torm Vadžravege in njegovih vzvišenih spremljevalcev
– Izdelava peščene mandale
KDO SE LAHKO UDELEŽI DOGODKA
Vsi, ki se nameravajo dogodka udeležiti osebno, morajo imeti prejeto opolnomočenje Kalačakre (wang) ali pa vsaj resen namen, da ga prejmejo v prihodnje. Nujno je, da so pri tem razvili vero v pomen prakse Kalačakre in z njo želijo v tem življenju nadaljevati.
Khentrul Rinpoče udeležencem na kraju samem radodarno nudi možnost, da se umika udeležijo, ne da bi prej prejeli opolnomočenje, kot je to sicer običajno. Zaupa jim, da so razvili trdno namero, da to storijo v prihodnje.
Prek spleta se umika lahko udeležijo samo tisti, ki so že prejeli opolnomočenje (wang) Kalačakre.
POTREBŠČINE, KI JIH LAHKO PRINESETE PO ŽELJI
-Damaru
-Zvonec in Dordže
-Serkjem (komplet za zlato čajno daritev)
HIBRIDNI FORMAT
Ta delavnica bo potekala prek spleta in osebno. Ustne prenose in opolnomočenja je mogoče prejeti samo v živo (tj. ne bodo na voljo v obliki video posnetkov na zahtevo). Vsi drugi posnetki bodo na voljo na learn.dzokden.org, ko bo umik končan. Do materialov bodo lahko dostopali vsi, ki bodo navzoči osebno ali prek spleta.
O KHENTRULU RINPOČEJU
Šar Khentrul Džamphel Lodrö Rinpoče je prvih dvajset let svojega življenja pasel jake in recitiral mantre na planotah Tibeta. Po navdihu bodhisátev je zapustil svojo družino in študiral v različnih samostanih pod vodstvom več kot petindvajsetih mojstrov vseh tibetanskih budističnih tradicij. Zaradi svojega nesektaškega pristopa si je prislužil naziv Rimé (nepristranski) mojster in prepoznali so ga kot reinkarnacijo slavnega mojstra Kalačakre Ngavanga Čözin Gyátsa. Medtem ko je v središču njegovih naukov spoznanje, da obstaja velika vrednost v raznolikosti vseh duhovnih tradicij, ki jih je mogoče najti na tem svetu, se sam osredotoča na tradicijo Džonang-Šambhala. Številni zahodni učenjaki so menili, da je izumrla, vendarle pa se je sam prepričal, da vsebuje najnaprednejša učenja Kalačakre (“Kolo časa”), globoke metode za usklajevanje našega zunanjega okolja z notranjim svetom telesa in uma.
Od leta 2014 je prepotoval že več kot trideset držav z namenom voditi učence do spoznanja njihove lastne svete resnice neomejenega potenciala s pomočjo jasne, sistematične in postopne poti Kalačakre, ki vodi k razsvetljenju. Z učenjem, kako razvijati prilagodljiv um in se znebiti pristranskosti, si Khentrul Rinpoče prizadeva ustvariti skupnosti, ki temeljijo na sočutju, in spremeniti ta svet v zlato dobo globalnega miru in harmonije.
