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.

Lễ thực hành hạn chế này chỉ dành cho những người đã nhận quán đảnh Drolmi Kazug và có gói Pháp Bảo thực hành. Thực hành chỉ có thể được thực hiện với các phẩm dường thích hợp, vì vậy đây là một phần lý do tại sao bạn không thể tham gia nếu không có gói Pháp Bảo này. Các phẩm vật cực kỳ hiếm và khó mua. Rinpoche sẽ truyền quán đảnh hàng năm. Nếu trước đây bạn đã nhận được quán đảnh và muốn thực hành, bạn có thể gửi email tới [email protected] để mua một gói.
Rinpoche đã dạy rằng bạn nên thực hành lễ nầy ít nhất 4 lần một năm vào đúng ngày Phân hoặc Hạ chí trong khu vực của bạn. Để tạo ra sự may mắn dồi dào cho Thời đại vàng của An bình và Hòa hợp, chúng tôi sẽ thực hiện lễ puja này 4 lần một năm tại các ngôi chùa của chúng tôi vào đúng ngày. Bạn không nhất thiết phải thực hành cùng ngày với chúng tôi. Điều này hơi khó. Bạn có thể tự thực hiện tại tư gia, theo giờ phù hợp với múi giờ ngày hôm đó. Nếu bạn có Bảo Pháp và có thể lập bàn thờ cúng dường, bạn có thể thực hành cùng với chùa nếu bạn muốn. Nếu bạn không thể thực hành lễ nầy vào đúng ngày, thì hãy thực hành vào cuối tuần gần nhất.

Thực hành Pháp này là một cách rất hiệu quả để gây dựng Lungta của chúng ta. Để thực hành Phật Pháp cho tốt, mọi người trên thế giới đều cần may mắn, thịnh vượng, giàu có, sức khỏe và sức sống. Vì vậy, chúng ta phải cùng nhau nâng cao Lungta của chúng ta.
Ý nghĩa của Lungta là thời vận. Diễn dịch từ tiếng Tạng hay sai lệch, nên nhiều khi Lungta dịch là “ngựa gió”. Nhưng thật sự nó có nghĩa là sâu sắc hơn thế. “Lung” không phải là gió. Ý nghĩa thực sự là sự rộng lớn và phong phú. Đó là sự kết hợp bao gồm sinh lực của chúng ta, khả năng trí óc cơ thể, sức mạnh và mọi thứ liên quan đến nó. Đây chính là “Lung”. “Ta” có nghĩa là người giúp đỡ mà ta có thể nói là hài hòa. Nó làm cho tất cả các năng lực của thân, khẩu và ý, tất cả những thứ này trở nên hài hòa. Từ sự hòa hợp này làm tăng tuổi thọ, sức khỏe và sự dồi dào. Sự hòa hợp này chính là LungTa mà nói một cách ngắn gọn có thể nói là vận may hay thời vận. Bằng cách thực hành Pháp này, chúng ta đang tạo ra một trụ cột tài sản khổng lồ để kết hợp tất cả những điều này lại với nhau để nâng cao Lungta của chúng ta vì lợi ích của tất cả chúng sinh.

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.

Path of Desire Book Launch with Khentrul Rinpoche – Working with Emotions and Sexuality on the Tantric Path This event is FREE and will be available In-Person and online by registration only.
We will celebrate the release of Khentrul Rinpoche’s new book the Path of Desire, with a teaching on how to use all aspects of life including sexuality on the path. This book launch discussion will focus on how to use all of our emotions, not just sex to practice. Khentrul Rinpoche will give a blessing of the 6 Buddha Families to everyone present to help students so they don’t have to abandon the 6 kleshas. Instead the blessing will help them achieve success on taking the Kleshas on the Tantra path. This event is available with registration only. Rinpoche will explain in person why he chose to write and release a book of this nature at this time. Some people may find it scandalous while others may find it a welcome addition to tantric teachings.
“Most followers of the Tibetan tantric Buddhist teachings are merely wearing an outer costume of tantra.”
“Serious consideration of the situation of tantra is urgent before its essence is lost altogether. The time has come for going beyond mere scholarly explanations and superficial chanting of liturgies to actually restoring the practice tradition that has been corrupted and rejected in recent centuries. To do that, the full scope of tantra’s real meaning must be re-introduced.” -Shar Khentrul Rinpoché
Being imprisoned in a dark pit is not comparable
To young lovers kept apart by their righteous parents;
Being locked in stocks is not comparable,
To strict religious laws that make sweet love a crime.
However perfect the power of a renunciate attitude,
As water still flows in a river that is blocked by a dam,
When an unwanted religious tax is levied on sex,
It is like constantly pushing a boulder up a hill.
(Gendun Chöpel, “Treatise on Desire”)
Though in sex the blissful union of the masculine and feminine principles is obvious, it actually pervades all existence; it represents the profound truth of non-dual reality and points us in its direction. For those who aspire to be genuine tantrikas, this book and teaching presents a way of liberation through joyfully embracing ordinary life. For those of us who seek only to experience ordinary life at its best, that goal can also be attained.
Book – The Path of Desire The book “The Path of Desire” will be launched in time for this event. Pre-order for the Paperback and Epub version is now available, you may purchase it here.
Books will be available at Tibet House.
