This event is available both Online and In-person.
This event will be in English with live Hungarian translation, other languages will be available on Zoom only.
At the request of the Hungarian group, Khentrul Rinpoche will speak on the divine female wisdom and how to use it on the tantric path. He will bestow the Wang (full empowerment) of the Goddess Red Saraswati who is the consort of Manjusrhi and the female embodiment of wisdom. The empowerment comes from the Jonang tradition, based on Jetsun Taranatha. Most of the tantras that are popular in other traditions come from him because Taranatha is the treasury of the tantra.
His teaching will be on using feminine wisdom on the path of desire to work with our emotions. We do not have to abandon the challenges of our modern world. In fact, we can learn to face them directly and transform them into our path to liberation.
About Red Sarasvati
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. This is, in general, a story based on Hindu teachings, but the Tibetans have many, many different versions of her. Some of her forms are white with two arms. This form is a tantric 4-armed version and is powerful and magnetizing in nature.
Saraswati is a wisdom deity but a female version, just like Manjushri. Many great practitioners consider her to be Manjushri’s secret consort. There are so many other lamas worshipping, especially scholars worshipping her instead of Manjushri.

Tap into the power of all the Buddhas to open your heart to liberate all sentient beings. The infinite ultimate Bodhicitta needed to realize enlightenment and liberate beings as limitless as space, may be simple to understand but difficult to cultivate. In our world, it can be hard enough to develop worldly compassion and sympathy for friends and family; never mind those with opposing political views or who you perceived to have wronged you. To develop the heart of enlightenment big enough to genuinely care for the whole world selflessly like the great bodhisattvas of Shambhala takes a huge, continuous effort. Peace is possible for the world, but we need strong motivation and huge strength and dedication to create a Golden Age of Peace.
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow the Bodhisattva vow and a prayer on Shambhala to help connect us with the power of love and the warrior nature that never gives up like all the Shambhala Kalki Kings such as Pundarika an emanation of Chenrezig. Through this unique connection, we can with sustained effort, open our hearts to truly cultivate the capacity of unconditional love and compassion to create a Golden Age of time on earth. Khentrul Rinpoche will guide us in teaching how the Shambhala Kings are the ultimate compassionate warriors that we can become as well.
INCLUDED IN THIS EVENT
-Bodhisattva vow and booklet,
-Shambhala Prayer Oral transmission
-A preliminary teaching and practice session with a Q&A session.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
There are no prerequisites. It is suitable for all levels of practitioners. Previous Buddhist study and practice are helpful but not mandatory. If you wish for the enlightenment of all sentient beings, want people to know what unconditional love is, and are willing to work for the rest of your lives for this vision, then this vow is for you.

While the Buddha taught that life is suffering, he also taught that there is a way to become free from suffering. In this evening’s talk, Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche will teach powerful mind-training techniques from the Sutrayana path of Buddhism to help us learn to cope with life and transform it. While we can’t prevent life’s challenges, we can become skillful in dealing with them.
Suffering can appear in our lives in so many forms, such as the easy-to-do identify suffering of illness, job loss, divorce, or other adverse life circumstances. Or suffering can be subtle and sneaky in the form of passing radiantly joyful emotions that are so wonderful we wish they would never leave. Even the best ice cream will melt in the hot sun if not eaten.
While our feelings and emotions can change momentarily, it does not mean we must be thrown into turmoil by sadness, jealousy, anger, hatred, or frustration. Nor does that mean we must reject our emotions and experiences, hide them, or shame them away. The Buddha taught many precise antidotes that can be learned and used for each emotion to help us work through them as they arise. When this happens we can better achieve all of our life priorities in work, family, or spiritual realization.
These sutra antidotes can help practitioners at all levels. Even a tantric student wishing to work directly with emotion’s energy may find themselves in a moment when reducing the emotion’s intensity is necessary before transforming it.

Ta dogodek je na voljo prek spleta in osebno.
Khentrul Rinpoče je pristal na to, da bo podelil opolnomočenje za osvoboditev s poslušanjem (Žitro) Karma Lingpe in opravil obred očiščevanja na prošnjo kitajsko govoreče skupine v času praznika dvojne devetice. To je tradicionalni kitajski praznik, ki po lunarnem koledarju pade na deveti dan devetega meseca. Kitajci tedaj izražajo spoštovanje svojim prednikom. To je druga priložnost v letu, ko Kitajci obiščejo grobove svojih prednikov.
Ta cikel učenj na temo “osvoboditve s poslušanjem” je del najvišje joga tantre. Khentrul Rinpoče ima globoko povezavo s to prakso in je velikokrat prejel to opolnomočenje. Ta cikel vključuje številne molitve za osvoboditev in oblike prakse. Zaradi obsežnih priprav se ga redko izvaja javno. Vendar pa je izredno dobrodejen za življenje, smrt in procese ponovnega rojstva, še posebno dober pa je za vračanje dobrega staršem in prednikom. Obred očiščevanja in osvoboditve Njedren pomaga čutečim bitjem, ki so umrla in potujejo po bardu ali katerem od šestih kraljestev, da se osvobodijo v budovstvo Samantabhadre. Ta obred je učinkovit za vsa bitja, ki so umrla, ne glede na to, kako dolgo je tega. Z molitvijo in obredom se zavest umrlega združi z neločljivo modrostjo stotih božanstev. Za zaključek praznika bomo sežgali vse ploščice z imeni živih in umrlih.
Čeprav je moral Khentrul Rinpoče za ta dogodek opraviti obsežne priprave, je to storil zaradi svojega velikega sočutja. Ne zamudite te pomembne priložnosti za udelžbo; nikoli ne veste, kdaj pride smrt ali kdaj boste spet lahko pomagali svojim bližnjim.
KAJ JE ŽITRO
Žitro pomeni “mirni in srditi”, to je zbor dvainštiridesetih mirnih in oseminpetdesetih srditih božanstev. Besedilo je Guru Padmasambhava zakopal v osmem stoletju. Učenje je kot termo v 14. stoletju razkril terton Karma Lingpa. Tem Budam sicer pravijo tudi božanstva barda. Pojem ‘bardo’ pomeni ‘vmesno stanje,’ enega od šestih takšnih stanj, tukaj pa pomeni bardo umiranja – prehodnega stanja med smrtjo in ponovnim rojstvom. V tej fazi se sto božanstev Žitra prikaže umrlemu, da bi mu pomagali pri osvoboditvi iz barda. Na določenih stopnjah stanja barda ljudje potrebujejo mirna božanstva, na drugih pa srdita, da jim pomagajo na poti do prebujenja.
Učenja Žitra, ki jih je podelil Guru Padmasambhava, vzpostavljajo neposredno povezavo za praktikante, ki se lahko tako povežejo z božanstvi barda z zavzeto prakso in molitvami. To opolnomočenje je blagoslov v naših življenjih in priprava za osvoboditev v bardu po naši smrti. Kot pojasnjuje Bardo Thodrol, temeljno besedilo o bardu v vadžrajanskem budizmu (ki je splošno znano kot Tibetanska knjiga mrtvih), se božanstva barda umrlemu prikazujejo skozi obdobje devetinštiridesetih dni, medtem ko je umrli v bardu. Sprva se prikazujejo mirna božanstva, če pa jih umrli ne prepozna in ne doseže osvobojenja prek teh mirnih božanstev, se nato prikažejo srdita božanstva. Če se umrli v tem obdobju devetinštiridesetih dni ne more povezati s temi božanstvi, bo njegova zavest potegnjena nazaj v ponovno rojstvo v enem od šestih kraljestev.

SPONZORIRANJE PUDŽE
Mnogi ljudje uživajo ob gledanju različnih puh na spletu, ki jih izvajajo lame, in verjamejo, da s tem prejemajo veliko korist. Na Zahodu je tudi običajno, da ljudje prosijo lamo, naj moli zanje, ne da bi mu kaj darovali ali z njim imeli osebno povezavo. Čeprav ste kot eno od vseh čutečih bitij povezani z rezultati pudže, izvedene v korist vseh čutečih bitij, je karmična povezava neverjetno šibka, zato je takšen tudi rezultat. Običajno je v določenih življenjskih obdobjih, ko je potrebna puja ali molitve za očiščenje različnih karmičnih dolgov, ovir ali karmično pogojenih bolezni, v navadi, da se lami za molitve in puje darujejo finančne prispevke. S tem se ustvari močnejša karmična povezava s pudžo, kar ustvari močnejši karmični rezultat.

Khentrul Rinpoče je pristal na to, da bo podelil Dženang Belega Dzambhale. Na splošno je Jakša bogastva Dzambhala povezan z velikodušnostjo in Ratnasambhavo, vsaka barva Dzambhale pa ima nekoliko drugačen poudarek. Beli Dzambhala je manifestacija Bodhisatve Čenreziga. Revščino lahko odpravi z očiščevanjem negativne karme in karmičnih preprek, ob tem pa pomaga pri našem prizadevanju Bodhičite. Beli Dzambhala nam prinaša poznavanje etične discipline in čistosti. Kadar imamo jasnost uma, etiko in modrost, lahko finančna sredstva najučinkoviteje uporabimo. Za finančno stabilnost potrebujemo čistost v svojem razumevanju in pogledu na finančna sredstva. Kot skupnost si že leta prizadevamo za razvijanje povezane z vsemi vidiki Dzambhale in pri tem izpopolnjujemo svojo sposobnost pritegovanja resničnega bogastva, Dharme, s katero bo nastala Zlata doba.
To vključuje opolnomočenje in prakso Belega Dzambhale.
Kako se pripravite?
Za ta učenja ni nobenih zahtev.
