Manjushri embodies the wisdom of all the Buddhas. On this weekend program in California, Rinpoche who’s name also is a name of Manjushri will bestow oral transmissions and empowerments before the Prayer for All attainments. We need both wisdom and compassion to complete the two accumulation needed for Buddhahood. Often times when someone reads a Dharma text they may not be able to understand it fully. But through connecting with Manjushri and reading the text again and again the wisdom of the true meaning can be revealed in the mind.
The benefits of chanting the names of Manjushri according to Kalki Pundarika’s commentary on the Kalachakra Tantra,
“In order to free all beings from doubt, the Tathagata collected Chanting the Names of Manjushri from all the Mantrayana teachings and taught it to Vajrapani. Whoever does not know Chanting the Names of Manjushri does not know the wisdom body of Vajradhara. Whoever does not know the wisdom body of Vajradhara does not understand the Mantrayana. Whoever does not understand the Mantrayana remains in samsara, separated from the path of the conqueror Vajradhara.

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!
The oral transmission and commentary will be live streamed. The Oral transmission is only available to those who register for the zoom. The commentary is completely public.
In order to unveil your sacred truth through the profound practices of tibetan vajrayana Buddhism, you need a map to show you where you are going and how to get there.Representations of the path to freedom and our enlightened nature have been painted and encoded in the form of sacred mandalas such as the Kalachakra Mandala. Khentrul Rinpoche will explain some universal aspects represented in Sacred art as well as the specific hidden meaning in the Kalachakra Mandala’s representation.

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.
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.
