Weekday Kalachakra Ngöndro with Tibetan Chanting

Daily Kalachakra Ngöndro with Tibetan Chanting

Join us for daily group practice to chant The Divine Ladder, in Tibetan.  This session is open to anyone who wishes to practice the Jonang-Kalachakra and the ngöndro.  

The Divine Ladder was written by the great Tibetan master Jetsun Taranatha (1575–1634) and outlines the preliminary and main practices of the profound Kalachakra Vajra Yoga Path of the Jonang-Kalachakra tradition.  These foundational practices purify negative karma, accumulate merit and bring great benefit to all practitioners. 

What to Expect
Participants need to have their own copy of  The Profound Path of Vajra Yoga Prayer Book; there is no screen sharing.  The entire Divine Ladder is chanted in Tibetan without interruption or breaks.  The repetitions and sessions chanted are the same as in Jonang Kalachakra Ngöndro audio, fast version 3.

Commentary on the 6 Session Guru Yoga

This event is available Online only.

Commentary on the 6 Session Guru Yoga with Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche

Offered at the Request of Venerable Namgyel’s Group (Australia)
This course is offered by donation. 

The Six-Session Guru Yoga is the essential daily practice for maintaining the profound samaya commitments received during anuttarayoga tantra empowerments. While often recited quickly as a required obligation, its depth, structure, and transformative power are rarely understood.

At the heartfelt request of a dedicated group of Ven Namgyel Group, who practice in the Gelug tradition in Australia, Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche has kindly agreed to offer a special four-session commentary on this core tantric practice. Although Rinpoche comes from the Jonang–Kalachakra lineage, he has studied extensively within the Gelug, Sakya, Kagyu, and Nyingma traditions. Because of this rare breadth of training, he is uniquely positioned to:

-convey the traditional understanding of the Six-Session Guru Yoga,
-illuminate its deeper meaning through his cross-lineage insight and practical experience.

This teaching is a rare opportunity to receive a clear, integrative explanation of a practice traditionally required by the Gelug lineage, delivered by a master who deeply respects its origins while revealing its universal relevance for all Vajrayana practitioners.

Why This Commentary Is Especially Valuable

The six session Guru Yoga is mostly practiced in the Gelug tradition where the Six-Session Guru Yoga is a mandatory daily practice for anyone who has received Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments—such as Guhyasamāja, Yamāntaka, Chakrasamvara, or Vajrayoginī.

The Heart of Anuttarayoga Tantra Commitments

The Six-Session Guru Yoga preserves the samayas that connect practitioners directly with the Five Buddha Families. Without understanding these commitments, tantric practice becomes weak. Rinpoche brings this framework to life, by clarifying the meaning behind the verses.

The Six-Session Guru Yoga supports:

-pratimoksha vows,
-bodhisattva vows,
-tantric vows,
-and the cultivation of pure perception

In a time of distraction, instability, and emotional overwhelm, samaya can easily weaken.

Who Is This Course For?

-Practitioners who have received anuttarayoga tantra empowerments
-Students preparing for future empowerments
-Vajra brothers and sisters who want stronger samaya
-Practitioners seeking a clearer and more stable tantric foundation

2026 Black Dzambhala Pujas

This event is available ONLINE only.

Join Us for the Monthly Black Dzambhala Puja to Remove Obstacles to Prosperity and Dharma Activity

True abundance flows not only from external effort but from the deep inner work of purifying karmic debt and obstacles. The Black Dzambhala, a wrathful manifestation of compassion, swiftly removes hindrances to wealth and spiritual progress, enabling the positive conditions needed for the flourishing of the Golden Age.

We invite you to participate in this monthly Black Dzambhala Puja to help clear the karmic and energetic blockages that limit the flow of resources—both material and spiritual—into your life and the broader Dzokden vision. This practice supports the manifestation of Khentrul Rinpoche’s global aspirations for peace, harmony, and spiritual awakening rooted in Shambhala values.

In alignment with Rinpoche’s guidance, this puja generates the merit necessary to magnetize support for the Dzokden Kalachakra projects around the world—temples, retreat centers, Dharma communities, and all the sacred infrastructure needed to usher in the Golden Age. By offering to Black Dzambhala, we not only request the removal of our own obstacles, but also those impeding the collective Dharma work of all sincere practitioners.

This is a restricted practice and open only to those who have received the Black Dzambhala empowerment.

Secret Dakini Treasure and Wensum

2026 Monthly Kalachakra Green Dzambhala Puja

This event is available ONLINE only.

This special practice of Green Dzambhala originates directly from the Kalachakra Tantra and serves as a complementary practice for those engaged in Kalachakra studies. The practice is specifically designed to align with the elemental systems and Buddha family schemas that form the foundation of the Kalachakra mandala and teachings.

To receive the complete blessings and effectiveness of this profound practice, practitioners must either receive or commit to receiving the full Kalachakra seven empowerments of the growing child. This prerequisite ensures proper spiritual preparation and lineage connection.

As with all Kalachakra teachings the practice can be divided in Outer, Inner and Ultimate.

Outer Aspect – The Four External Abundances

Externally, this practice facilitates connection with four fundamental abundances:

1- Dharma Abundance The most essential wealth is the Dharma itself, as it provides the gateway to liberation from the suffering of samsara. True wealth cannot be found within the cyclic existence of samsara.
2 – Material Wealth Once established on the authentic Dharma path of bodhicitta (awakened heart), practitioners learn to engage with material wealth as a skillful means to benefit others rather than for personal gain.
3 – Enjoyment of Desires The practice transforms our relationship with desires and sensory experiences, using them as stepping stones on the spiritual path to benefit self and others.
4 – Liberation The ultimate abundance—complete freedom from suffering—represents the final goal that encompasses and transcends all other forms of wealth.

Inner Aspect – Internal Dimensions and Benefits

The Ten-Deity Mandala System

This practice centers around a mandala of ten deities, each corresponding to specific aspects of inner reality. The practice works to stabilize and harmonize the ten vital winds (pranas) within the subtle body, thereby bestowing internal abundance.

Chulen 

Internally, this is classified as a chulen practice—a category of Vajrayana Buddhist techniques focused on extracting subtle essences for spiritual nourishment and longevity.

For those with sufficient foundation and experience, this practice can bestow:

-Physical Abundance: Enhanced bodily health, vitality, and strength
–Mental Abundance: Greater mental clarity, emotional stability, and cognitive strength

Ultimate Aspect – Tantric Integration

The practice exemplifies the tantric principle of transformation, where ordinary experiences of wealth and enjoyment become vehicles for spiritual realization. Rather than rejecting material aspects of life, the practice teaches how to engage with them skillfully as means to liberation.

This sophisticated approach reflects the mature understanding that in advanced Buddhist practice, all experiences—including those typically considered worldly—can serve as supports for awakening when approached with proper view and intention.

Green Dzambhala practice represents a complete system that addresses both external circumstances and internal spiritual development. By working with the fundamental energies of abundance, practitioners develop a balanced relationship with wealth while progressing toward ultimate liberation. The practice’s integration with Kalachakra teachings ensures its effectiveness within a comprehensive spiritual framework.

*This is a restricted practice and open only to those who have received the Green Dzambhala empowerment.
