This event is FREE and available both Online and In-person.
In celebration of the Birth, Death, and Enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha, we recite praises recounting the accomplishments of his incredible life. Connecting and learning from his example, we, too, can take steps to learn and practice in stages to reveal our own enlightened nature. The first step to changing the world to a more peaceful, harmonious place is to change ourselves. It is with each of the karmas we make, each cause and condition, that we plant the seeds to change ourselves and then, through our transformation, the world around us. Shakyamuni spent years of diligent practice and effort to understand the nature of reality and reveal his own nature before he was able to teach others. Once he transformed himself, his enlightened speech and activity had the power to transform our world and continue to through this day.
In addition to the praises to the Buddha of our time, we will chant the powerful 1000 Buddha Puja to connect with all the 1000 Buddhas of this fortunate eon. Connecting with 1000 Buddhas and sharing their names creates powerful conditions for all who hear this to be reborn in a higher realm and to come into contact with the Dharma. All practices done at this time are incredibly powerful as the merit is multiplied by 100 million times.

Khentrul Rinpoche đã đồng ý ban lễ quán đảnh Ngài Địa Tạng Vương Bồ Tát và thực hiện lễ Puja theo yêu cầu của nhóm đạo hữu Trung Quốc.
Ngài Địa Tạng Vương Bồ Tát hay Địa Tạng Bồ Tát là một trong bốn vị Bồ Tát quan trọng trong truyền thống Phật giáo Đại thừa Đông Á, cùng với Phổ Hiền Bồ Tát, Văn Thù Sư Lợi Bồ Tát và Quán Thế Âm Bồ Tát. Tên của Ngài được dịch là “Kho báu giấu kín trong lòng đất”. Địa Tạng Bồ Tát được biết đến bởi lời nguyện cứu độ tất cả chúng sinh trong lục đạo luân hồi vào thời kỳ sau khi Phật Thích-ca Mâu-ni nhập Niết-bàn cho đến khi Bồ Tát Di Lặc hạ sinh. Ngài nguyện không chứng Phật quả nếu địa ngục chưa trống rỗng (Địa ngục không trống, Thề không thành Phật). Do đó, Ngài thường được xem như là vị Bồ Tát của chúng sinh dưới địa ngục. Trong văn hóa Nhật Bản, Ngài là vị Bồ Tát hộ mệnh cho trẻ em, cũng như bảo vệ các vong linh của trẻ em và bào thai chết yểu.
LỢI ÍCH CỦA PHÁP TU
Kinh Địa Tạng Bồ Tát bổn nguyện đã nếu ra các lợi ích của việc thực hành pháp tu của Ngài Địa Tạng. Trong Kinh đã chỉ ra rằng những ai nghe theo lời dạy của Ngài sẽ đạt được những lợi ích không thể nghĩ bàn. Thực hành pháp tu này cũng có thể giúp tẩy trừ vô lượng nghiệp xấu.

Lễ Puja Địa Tạng Bồ Tát trong Lễ hội Thanh Minh (Qingming).
Địa Tạng Bồ Tát là một thị hiện rất được tôn kính của Đức Phật đối với người Trung Quốc bởi lời nguyện bảo vệ các chúng sinh ở các cõi giới thấp của Ngài. Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng đối với những người Trung Quốc lo ngại cho tổ tiên của họ có thể tái sinh về các cõi giới thấp. Trong Lễ Thanh minh hay Lễ Tảo mộ (đôi khi cũng được gọi là Ngày Tưởng niệm hay Ngày Tổ tiên), một lễ hội truyền thống của người Trung Quốc, được tổ chức bởi cộng đồng người Hoa khắp châu Á, Lễ Puja Địa Tạng Bồ Tát là một pháp thực hành phổ biến và quan trọng đối với Phật tử Trung Quốc.
AI CÓ THỂ THAM DỰ
Không có yêu cầu đặc biệt nào. Lễ Quán đảnh dành cho tất cả mọi người.
CÚNG DƯỜNG CHO LỄ PUJA
Nhiều người tận hưởng việc xem các Lễ Puja trực tuyến được thực hiện bởi các vị Lạt ma và tin rằng họ sẽ nhận được một lợi ích lớn lao. Điều này rất phổ biến ở Phương Tây khi họ thỉnh các Lạt ma cầu nguyện cho họ nhưng không có bất cứ sự cúng dường hoặc một kết nối cá nhân nào. Trong khi đó, như là một trong tất cả chúng sinh, bạn sẽ nhận được kết quả của Lễ Puja được thực hiện cho tất cả chúng sinh, kết nối nghiệp rất yếu, do đó kết quả nhận được cũng sẽ rất nhỏ. Thông thường, trong một thời điểm nhất định khi Lễ Puja hoặc những người cầu nguyện được thỉnh cầu để tẩy trừ các nghiệp xấu, chướng ngại hoặc các bệnh do nghiệp quả, theo thông lệ mọi người sẽ cúng dường đến các vị Lạt ma cho Lễ cầu nguyện và Puja. Điều này sẽ tạo nên một kết nối nghiệp mạnh mẽ đến Lễ Puja và tạo nên một kết quả lớn hơn.

“Most followers of the Tibetan tantric Buddhist teachings are merely wearing an outer costume of tantra.” (Khentrul Rinpoché)
We are delighted to announce that Rinpoché accepted our request to present his exciting new tantra book, “The Tantric Path of Desire” in Europe. He will give related teachings, a blessing ceremony of the 6 Buddha Families, and address crucial questions of both new and veteran practitioners.
What is tantric practice really about? How to use our day-to-day ‘negative’ emotions as positive potential? How do the different levels of Buddhist paths relate to each other? How to use sexuality as part of the spiritual path according to the Buddha’s tantric teachings? Why does one need an authentic Guru to learn Tantra genuinely?
Preconceptions and misunderstandings about tantra have spread everywhere. Both in Western countries, as well as Asian countries where these teachings originated. Lost amidst extreme views and with a lack of proper clarification, it is difficult for practitioners to reach the essence of the tantric teachings. Rinpoché will teach about how the different levels of Buddhist teachings and their respective conduct of ethics support each other without contradiction. He will explain the varying degrees of tantric practice and what one should do to truly focus on tantra.
For Rinpoché, there is no doubt that different types of persons, including lay devotees, monastics, and non-religious ones, have the potential to learn the essence of tantric practice. This is because the tantric approach is closely aligned with our existing nature.
“In the tantric path, nothing that is naturally present in our mind needs to be eliminated. Instead, we learn means for putting these mental phenomena to work for us. When all these phenomena are subjugated by the brilliance of pure and true reality, they become our friends.” (Khentrul Rinpoché)
In the view of tantra, the pure aspects of our afflictive emotions are connected to specific Buddha Families. To strengthen this awareness and for the continued support of participants’ practice after the event, Rinpoché will bestow a Blessing Ceremony of the Six Buddha Families.
For the Q&A session, we thoroughly encourage you to gather all your questions that will clarify your understanding of tantra. Do not miss this precious opportunity.

This page is about the 1st VAJRA YOGA Practice Retreat Week(s).
WEEK 2: August 12th – 19th (7 nights)
WEEK 3: August 19th – August 26th (7 nights)
WEEK 4: August 26th – September 2nd (7 nights)
To register for the 1st VAJRA YOGA EMPOWERMENT, TEACHING, and RETREAT WEEK 1, you also need to additionally register here as well.
We are grateful to be able to offer a Practice Retreat on the 1st Vajra Yoga of Kalachakra at the Dzokden Kalapa Retreat Center in the Austrian mountains. This retreat is a rare opportunity to practice similarly to how aspiring yogis practice during the traditional three-year Kalachakra retreat, in a uniquely beautiful natural Summer setting. This group retreat will support the participants in establishing their 1st Vajra Yoga practice. By having a solid foundation for their own individual practice after the retreat, practitioners will be better able to complete the 1st Vajra Yoga and prepare for the next Vajra Yoga. You are welcome to take part in any of the weeks of your choosing (choose the weeks below when registering).
This is the first time we have the precious chance to offer such a long retreat on the 1st Vajra Yoga in Europe, so do not miss this precious opportunity!
[Note for those who have already received the 1st Vajra Yoga in Tibet in 2019: Rinpoché encourages you to first attend the 1st Vajra Yoga Empowerment, Teaching, and Retreat Week 1 first, rather than directly attending the Practice Retreat in Weeks 2, 3, and 4. However, if you absolutely cannot and only want to attend the practice retreat, first send us an email to [email protected] explaining your reasons before proceeding with the registration. We will contact you to confirm whether or not this is possible for you. Decisions will be taken on a case-by-case basis.]
Online Meditation Guidance from Khentrul Rinpoche + In-person Retreat
Each participant can request a personal audience with Rinpoche (remotely via Zoom) to discuss their meditation progress and help alleviate any obstacles to their practice. Rinpoché may also join remotely to give a group teaching (upon participants’ request) if he feels that it is necessary. Rafa Lobsang Dorje will lead the practice retreat in-person with Rinpoche’s blessing. He received the 1st Vajra Yoga from Rinpoche in 2019 in Tibet and practiced it in group and solitary retreat settings.
REQUIREMENTS
All participants must have received the 1st Vajra Yoga of Kalachakra by Shar Khentrul Rinpoche. If you have not received them yet and have the aspiration to do so, there is the possibility (upon approval) of receiving them before this practice retreat. More infos and registration here.
How to Prepare and Materials
How to prepare for this retreat: In addition to the longer sadhanas “Divine Ladder” and “Enlightening the Heart”, you will need to know the sadhana “Secret Dakini Treasure”. We encourage you to study all the sadhanas as much as you can, including the transliterations and chantings, because there will be some sessions of chanting in Tibetan without a recording during the retreat.
During the retreat, Guru Puja and Kalachakra Tsok gatherings will also be held on special occasions. We strongly encourage you to additionally register for their two associated courses at our learning center to prepare yourself in advance so that you know the rituals very well beforehand. If you wish (not mandatory), bring your own vajra, bell, damaru, or other ritual instruments to use during the puja and tsok gatherings.
Materials: You can borrow printed texts of Guru Puja and Tsok from the temple to use during the event. Please bring your printed practice book “The Profound Path of Vajra Yoga”. You can also bring Rinpoche’s commentary “The Hidden Treasure,” “Unveiling Your Sacred Truth 3,” and the 1st Vajra Yoga Booklet as a reference for your practice (everything on paper, as tablets, phones, or computers are not allowed after the strict retreat begins.) Other reading materials not directly related to the 1st Vajra Yoga are not allowed during the retreat period. Bring your blindfold and your meditation belt.
Retreat Information and Guidelines
The retreat will be closed and in silence. Participants are not allowed to receive visitors or use computers, tablet devices, mobile phones, and so forth. We can store personal phones and other electronic devices in our office. If someone needs to contact you in case of emergency, they can email [email protected] or call +43 676 395 8898. Both e-mailbox and phone will be checked at least once each day. Rinpoche advises participants to follow the retreat guidelines respectfully, not only for the success of their own practice, but also to avoid disturbing others.
The daily schedule consists of four practice sessions and additional activities such as occasional pujas, watching Rinpoché’s recorded teachings, personal audiences and so forth. Participants are welcome to address their questions related to the practice in written form to the retreat leader. They can request personal audiences with Rinpoché (remotely via Zoom) as well. Participation in two daily group sessions is mandatory unless health conditions completely prevent you from taking part. The remaining two sessions can be practiced in your own room if you prefer. Practice sessions will be conducted in English and Tibetan. If you absolutely prefer, you can bring copies of the texts in your own language as well and read them silently while the group recites in English.
Check-in and Check out between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. (If you absolutely need to leave earlier, that is possible. Just inform us in advance of your plans.)
Registration
More Info and Registration at Dzokden Kalapa in Austria
The fee for the retreat includes three vegetarian meals and shared accommodations at the beautiful Dzokden Kalapa Retreat Center. Please inform us ([email protected]) in advance if you have allergies, food intolerances, or other important health or mental conditions that we need to consider. We cannot promise space for individual rooms for participants of this event. However, you can alternatively bring your own tent and sleep outside near the Kalachakra Stupa (see registration options below). Please note: Parking in the area of Kalapa is very limited. If you are staying withus for the whole retreat, we encourage you to drop off then find a space to park at a distance (in the city, if possible) to help other travellers reach the site.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities
This is a strict retreat, and participants should avoid engaging in too much physical activity and interacting with others unnecessarily. We need at least one volunteer to cook breakfast, lunch, and a light dinner for the participants. The volunteer cook will be able to enjoy all the areas in the retreat center except for the Kalachakra Temple itself where the participants will practice. Unlike the participants, volunteers can access electronic devices, the internet, and so forth. This is an extraordinary opportunity to generate merit and create the causes to be able to engage in this practice yourself in the future. Rinpoche strongly encourages us to support our dharma brothers and sisters by volunteering. If you already received the 1st Vajra Yoga Teachings and wish to volunteer as a cook, you can attend the practice retreat for free if you so wish. Otherwise, during your stay, we can provide free access to an online course or recorded retreat at our digital learning center if you would like to support your practice and study while you are volunteering; additionally, you can also choose a dharma book of your choice in our Kalapa Shop that Kalapa will give you as a gift.
If you are considering this opportunity, please write as soon as possible to [email protected], so that we can arrange a video call to plan your participation. You can also volunteer for only a portion of the event rather than for the whole retreat; you can offer as much as possible according to your capability.
