A Rare Opportunity to Connect with the Wrathful Kalachakra, King of Tantra

Dzokden is honored to announce a very rare and precious opportunity to receive the Vajra Vega Jenang (empowerment) with Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche in Singapore.

Vajra Vega is the wrathful form of Shri Kalachakra, the King of Tantra, and revered as the highest of all Dharma protectors. As the protector aspect of Kalachakra, Vajra Vega embodies the fierce and compassionate power needed to cut through the root of ignorance and guard practitioners on the path.

Through this empowerment, students will establish a sacred connection with Vajra Vega and will be empowered to engage in the Short Vajra Vega Sadhana.

Vajra Vega: The Supreme Protector

The essence of Vajra Vega arises from non-conceptual primordial wisdom, which manifests when the winds enter the central channel, cutting the root ignorance of conceptual thought. This profound state forms the basis upon which the Six Vajra Yogas emerge, making Vajra Vega inseparable from the ultimate path of realization in the Kalachakra Tantra. When we establish a wheel of protection with Vajra Vega, we are symbolically stopping the arising of dualistic appearances, and abiding within the non-conceptual wisdom.

Prepare for Death with Vajra Vega

Receiving Vajra Vega Jenang is not only a blessing for this life but also a preparation for what comes beyond. To recognize Vajra Vega in the Bardo after death is to recognize our own deepest truth. This empowerment provides us with a lifeline of protection and wisdom, guiding us toward liberation and awakening. While we must do our best to create karmic propensities to realize our own sacred truth during this life, if we do not then in the Bardo state after death, we may be able to recognise Vajra Vega in the sea of wrathful Deities and be liberated. Normally when a person becomes frightened the whole world slows down in perception. You may be more likely to recognize a deity like Vajra Vega whom is fierce and terrifying then a loving one you feel reassured by.

The oral transmission and practices included in this event.
–  Short Vajra Vega Sadhana
–  Praises to Vajra Vega

The Vajra Vega Wheel of Protection Sadhana itself is not part of this event.

However, as this is one of the practices our group does monthly on protector day to generate the conditions for the golden age, we will be compiling a list of committed students who wish to practice more deeply in the future. Rinpoche has shared that if enough disciples demonstrate sincere dedication to the Short Sadhana and express their intent, he may offer the restricted Vajra Vega Wheel of Protection Sadhana again, potentially in 2027.

The Golden Age: Unlocking Prosperity, Health, and Good Fortune Through Dharma

The Golden Age: Unlocking Prosperity, Health, and Good Fortune Through Dharma

This is a FREE event will be available both Online and In-person.

Do you dream of a world where your family lives with security, health, prosperity, and harmony? The ancient Buddhist vision of the Golden Age, known as Karwa Dzokden, shows us that such a world is not a fantasy — it is the natural outcome of spiritual awakening and collective transformation.

Join Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche in Singapore where he will reveal how the Golden Age connects directly with our deepest desires for wealth, wellbeing, and family happiness. You do not need to experience the Kali Yuga! There is another way..

In this teaching, you will discover:

-The Secret of Prosperity and Wealth: How insecurity, fear, and competition give way to trust, generosity, and effortless abundance.
-The Path to Health and Longevity: How the Golden Age reduces disease, rejuvenates the environment, and brings longer, healthier lives.
-The Source of Good Fortune: How peace of mind, meaningful relationships, and natural joy create a flourishing life for you and your loved ones.
-Family and Community in the Golden Age: Why in this time, all beings are cherished as part of the same family, and how that vision can begin now in your own home.

Through profound Buddhist teachings from the Highest Yoga Tantra, Kalachakra, it’s been prophesied that the world will get better. We will flourish globally thanks to the help of the highest level Bodhisattva’s from the Pureland of Shambhala. But don’t sit back and wait. Rinpoche will illuminate how your own dharma practice can connect with this great aspiration to help usher in this time of abundance, ensuring a prosperous and fortunate future for generations to come.

Khentrul Riunpoche will bestow the Oral Transmission of the Dzokden Prayer. To access this please register for the unrestricted prayers and text in the learning center. https://learn.dzokden.org/pages/texts

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.
