Marichi is the life-long personal protector from Khentrul Rinpoche. She is also considered the proteress of the Sublime Realm of Shambhala. Rinpoche will bestow her Empowerment and transmit a Marichi sadhana written by him which is based on his own visionary experience with this buddhist goddess.

THE BUDDHIST PROTECTRESS MARICHI
In some lineages of the Vajrayana Buddhism, Marichi is considered to be one manifestation of Tara, appearing for example as the 21st Tara. There are other forms from her found also in other spiritual systems. She is the colour of the sunset, a wondrous, glowing orange. She comes with the sun and, as the sun, her blessings pervade everywhere.

This sadhana is also extremely helpful for those working with the Drolmi Kazug Puja. Beyond the empowerment and oral transmission of the Marichi Sadhana, Rinpoche will also give an introductory teaching on her and bestow a new Sadhana on the 21 Taras that focuses on Marichi.

RINPOCHE’S PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH MARICHI
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 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. If you want to prepare yourself, you can do the online course for the “21 Taras Practice Retreat” available at our learning center.

HOW THE ONLINE EMPOWERMENT WILL WORK

1) Register for each attendee that will be receiving the empowerment. You will be added to the course on learn.dzokden.org
2) You must receive the empowerment online in real-time. We do not record the empowerments. Just attending an empowerment does not mean you receive it. You must know what is going on. To ensure everyone will receive the empowerment, Rinpoche will kindly make his instruction booklet available to you as an eBook so you can follow along so you know exactly what is happening. You are not allowed to share this program book with anyone else or give them access to the empowerment. This is private for your personal use. Rinpoche typically gives the eBook out the night before but if this is a technical problem for you.
3) You will receive access to the zoom for each of the sessions.

SUGGESTED OFFERINGS
We have created 3 offering levels to help make this affordable to a range of attendees as we must raise funds to cover the cost. The cost has been adjusted for the cost of living in various countries. Thank you for understanding so that we can make this accessible to our global family. If your ability to pay makes it difficult to attend this program, we will make every effort to make attendance possible.

Online: 21 Taras Precious Excellent Wish-fulfilling Vase Puja (Restricted)

Restricted Practice for those who have received the empowerment for Drolmi Kazug and have the vase practice package. The practice can only be done with the proper offering of substances so this is part of why it is not possible to join without this package. The items are extremely rare and difficult to procure. Rinpoche will give empowerment yearly. If you previously received the empowerment and want to do the practice you can email [email protected] to buy a package.

Rinpoche has instructed that it is best if you do this practice at least 4 times a year on the exact day of the Equinox or Solstice in your area.  In order to create abundance and good fortune for the Golden Age of Peace of harmony, we will be performing this puja 4 times a year at our temples on the exact days.  You do not need to do practice with us globally. This is not usually done as a group practice. It’s typically done by individuals in their own home. You can do the practice in your own timezone whenever you can fit it in that day. If you have a vase and set up your offerings and want to practice along with the temple, then you are welcome to do so remotely. If you can not do this practice on the exact day, schedule it for the nearest weekend.

This practice is a very powerful way to build up our Lungta. Everyone in the world needs good fortune, prosperity, wealth, health, and vitality. It is harder to practice Dharma when these things are not present. So we must come together and raise our Lungta.

The meaning of Lungta is a fortune. The spelling is usually wrong in Tibetan. This is usually translated as wind horse. What it really means is deeper than that. The lung is not the wind. The real meaning is the expanse and richness. It’s a combination encompassing our life force, body mind abilities, and the powers and everything associated with it. This is Lung. Then Ta means the helper which we can say is harmonious. It makes all the body, speech, and mind abilities, and all these things become harmonious. From this harmony rises long life, health, and abundance. This harmony is Lung Ta which in a short way you can say is good fortune. In this practice, we are creating a huge fortune pillar of merit by bringing all this together to raise our Lungta for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Secrets of Shambhala and the Golden Age

Secrets of Shambhala and the Golden Age

This event will be in English with live Spanish translation, other languages will be available on Zoom only.

We are in an incredible moment in time right now. The world is changing rapidly. While some people may think it is getting worse with the riots, pandemic, economic and political problems, it’s a rare opportunity for rapid transformation.
We are not passive observers in the world. It takes courage to transform. It takes courage to change. It takes courage to bring about a time of abundance and peace.|
Through our genuine dharma practice, we have a profound opportunity to change our world into the Golden Age of peace, harmony, and abundance.

What does it take to manifest peace and harmony?
Khentrul Rinpoche will give teachings on the meaning and origin of Dzokden Dharma (Golden Age Dharma) referred to by Taranatha and Dolpopa. He will explain how the Kalachakra tantra prophesizes a time of peace and harmony for our planet and how we can speed up that time. Form a stronger connection to Shambhala by understanding the stages that Shambhala pure land went through to realize peace and harmony. Learn and decide what you can do yourself to contribute to the manifestation of Dzokden, the golden age.

Through discussion, questions, and sharing throughout the day we will come to an understanding of how we personally can be part of this global shift to bring about the Golden Age now.

In conjunction with the release of Shar Khentrul Rinpoche’s new book, the Tantric Path of Desire, Dzokden and Tibet House US, present a day of intermediate level Buddhist teachings on how to take desire as the path in relation to the Kalachakra Tantra. Tantra is a rich practice that is particularly suited to our time where people are heavily engaged in desires and distraction. In Tibetan Buddhism the tantric path of Vajrayana, engages directly with our desires and emotions in all aspects of our waking and sleeping daily lives as a potent force and technology for personal transformation and rapid awakening.

Part of this path of transformation to enlightenment requires the harmonization and unification of female and male energies within ourselves. The Yab-Yum deity of the Kalachakra mandala is often referred to as Kalachakra but is actually the inseparable union of the ultimate masculine Kalachakra, in union with the ultimate feminine, Vishvamata. Their combined qualities represent the ultimate love, wisdom and compassion fused into immutable bliss and empty form. While tantra does include teachings involving sexuality as a skillful means for transformation, there are more ways in which we can embrace the true energies of the female and male aspect within ourselves to transform our world. Khentrul Rinpoche will give teachings to clarify what these aspects are and various ways to work with them.

Khentrul Rinpoche has agreed to bestow the Vishvamata Jenang empowerment to his students for the first time at the request of Robert Thurman.

Prerequisite
While Khentrul Rinpoche welcomes everyone to join who wishes to practice Kalachakra, this teachings is best suited to students who have some basic understanding of the Vajrayana buddhist path, experience with Guru and Deity yoga as well as a flexible mind.
