Khentrul Rinpoche wrote this prayer to help establish everyone on the completion of the path. He wishes for all the students in the Dzokden community to learn this prayer by heart and chant it often as he has included the essence of what is needed in this prayer.

Sarva mangalaṃ!
I received this set of twenty-one undefiled aspirations that constitute this “Prayer for Establishing all Attainments” together with the “Path of Secret Ḍākinī Treasure”. In the future, all my students should memorize this “Prayer for all Attainments” that was received with such excellent signs of synchronicity. Knowing that, then, in all special occasions when they encounter sacred places and objects, or meet with great beings, and in any other opportunities for connecting with sacred outlook that may arise, if they recite these aspirations with intense intention, inconceivable beneficial qualities will be present.
I, Shar Khentrul Jampel Lodrö, finished composing this at Tongzuk Dechen Ling22  in the Iron Female Ox Year, the Western year 2021,
on the 28th day of October.
Ge’o! Ge’o! Ge’o!

Tibet House US – (NYC) Tantra for the Modern World: Taking Desire as the Path

Tibet House US – (NYC) Tantra for the Modern World: Taking Desire as the Path

Wednesday, October 19, 2022
6:30–8pm ET
$20 | In-person at Tibet House US
Tantra is a rich practice that is particularly suited to our modern time where people are heavily engaged in desires and distraction. The traditional texts were written in ancient times — modern practitioners attempting to follow them often get stuck in a contradictory application of renunciation that only becomes another form of attachment. It is important to have renunciation, but not one that is rooted in fear, because fear is inseparable from suffering. But fear and renunciation are of the same nature; so how can you have one while abandoning the other?
In the Highest Yoga Tantric path of Vajrayana, the “diamond vehicle,” practitioners engage directly with desires, emotions and all aspects of waking and sleeping as a potent force and technology for personal transformation and rapid awakening. In this 1.5 hour discussion, Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche will explore the essence of using the desire path as a practical and natural way of liberation.

Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche

Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche is a Rimé and Jonang Kalachakra Master of Tibetan Buddhism. Inspired by the Kalki Kings of Shambhala, through his organization, Dzokden, Khentrul Rinpoche works towards the second Golden Age of peace on our earth by transmitting the Kalachakra teachings in every area of the globe, translated in over 13 languages. He has authored over 20 books related to Shambhala, Kalachakra and Vajrayana Buddhism. His most recent book, published by Shambhala Publications, is titled The Realm of Shambhala. His forthcoming book, The Path of Desire, is currently available in Tibetan and will be published in more languages next year.

Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoché spent the first 20 years of his life herding yak and chanting mantras on the plateaus of Tibet. Inspired by the bodhisattvas, he left his family to receive an extensive education in a variety of monasteries under the guidance of over twenty-five masters in all the Tibetan buddhist traditions. Due to his non-sectarian approach, he earned himself the title of Rimé (unbiased) Master and was identified as the reincarnation of the famous Kalachakra Master Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. While at the core of his teachings is the recognition that there is great value in the diversity of all spiritual traditions found in this world; he focuses on the Jonang-Shambhala tradition. Thought to be extinct by many Western scholars, he found it held the most advanced teachings of Kalachakra containing profound methods to harmonize our external environment with the inner world of body and mind.

“Our most essential need is ultimate peace and harmony. The source of this perfection is the Sublime Realm of Shambhala.”
~Shar Khentrul Rinpoche

Each of us is an extraordinary potential for love and compassion, capable of completely transforming the way we experience our world. Through the ancient wisdom of the Kalachakra teachings, this potential can be unlocked to manifest a sublime realm of experience, free from all forms of suffering and conflict. This state of eternal bliss is known by some as Shambhala.

Khentrul Rinpoché will help us unveil the hidden meaning of Shambhala and why it is so important for overcoming the problems of this world, especially in turbulent times of disagreement. The Kalachakra Tantra prophesizes a coming Golden age on earth.

From Genghis Khan to the hippie movement, the realm of Shambhala has captured the hearts and imagination of spiritual seekers and warriors throughout time. With great precision and clarity, Rinpoche will dispel the many layers of confusion that have surrounded this often-misunderstood subject and introduce a profound method for spiritual development, grounded in an unbiased and expansive approach transcending any one tradition. During this evening, he will also give the transmission for his new prayer for Shambhala to help us usher in an age of global peace and harmony.
