This event is both a very special restricted event and also a fundraiser for Khentrul Rinpoche’s Kalki King Thangka project. Please read the information fully on this precious opportunity to bringing this strong Karmic connection to the Kalki Kings in our world. This is a special rare restricted empowerment that has been requested many times and is being offered for the first time by Khentrul Rinpoche. Please read the information fully before signing up.
Khentrul Rinpoche received the empowerment, transmission, a special practice text and special rare blessed pills for this Black Dzambhala Practice in 2006 from HH Jigme Dorje Rinpoche, the abbot of Dzamthang monastery and the head of the Jonang lineage. He was given this secretly with the conditions that he must not tell anyone about this and practice in private until after HH Jigme Dorje entered into Parinirvana. Many students have requested this empowerment and teaching before but Rinpoche has never given it. He has chosen this year of HH Jigme Dorje entrance into parinirvana to be the auspicious time because Rinpoche has had many signs and indications in his dreams that it is the right time to give this. We do not know when and if he will give it again. What are the Benefits of the Wrathful Black Dzambhala Practice? Black Dzambhala is one of the 5 wealth yakshas. While our community often practices the yellow form based on accumulating wealth and the red form based on increasing fame, we have never been able to practice the most powerful form which is the Black Dzambhala. The black form is an extremely wrathful standing on other yakshas. He is known for controlling and magnetizing vast wealth,and resources to bring practitioners financial abundance, spiritual realization and a good relationship with the family, partner or spouse. Wrathful black Dzambhala works to harmonize the yin and yang, feminine and masculine aspects in relationships. For those who do not have a husband, wife, partner or children, it brings them. For those who are already in relationships, it helps create harmony and remove problems. While these worldly benefits are huge, black Dzambhala also brings spiritual realization. This is an extremely powerful practice that can help control wealth of one’s enemies, remove obstacles to wealth and bring in the wealth of money or a partner in a dramatic way. For this reason, the practice must be done secretly and be kept private to yourself. The black form subdues ego and greed to purify the practitioner to develop vast wealth which in its ultimate form is truly spiritual attainment, enlightenment. To receive these benefits you must do some practice at least 4 times a year. To receive a huge benefit you need to do this practice every week. Special Practice Packages and Sponsorship Opportunity In order for students to practice this, Rinpoche is arranging the very special consecration of some copper Black Dzambhala statues filled with many blessed pills containing precious substances and holy relics. Some of the relics are from the magical medicine Tormas that manifested at Lama Lobsang Trinle’s Vajrapani retreat, some of Lama Lutrin body relics, relics from his head scarf that Lama Ngantang kept inside his home for years. When Lama Ngangtang’s house burned down, Lama Lutrins’ headscarf filled with relics did not burn. Dzogchen Padma Kazang, a high lama in the Nyingma tradition medicine pills that have been blessed many times with mantras. All of the statues will have some of the blessed pills and holy relics along with the special pills from Khentrul Rinpoche’s personal collection that HH Jigme Dorje Rinpoche made specifically for this Black Dzambhala practice.The gold plated statues will have more relics in them then the copper statues. We are also arranging the correct Thangka for this practice to be created for students who would like. Anyone is welcome to participate in this empowerment who will follow the instructions. We have a very small enough of the practice packages. Each package helps create a karmic connection to the Kalki King Thangka project. For each person who makes the offering for the Gold Statue we will have a custom ordered Kalki King Thangka painted for Dzokden. To learn more about the Kalki King Thangka Painting project look on the website Projects tab.
Important Special Event Restrictions This empowerment has several special conditions listed below that all of the attendees are requested to follow.Khentrul Rinpoche is giving this for the first time after secretly keeping the requirements given to him by HH Jigme Dorje Rinpoche and ask that you do the same for him. Because Black Dzambhala is so wrathful that Rinpoche has created these requests for your own benefit. 1) You must keep it a secret that you have received this empowerment. Even if someone asks you if you have it, you can not say that you have received it. 2) You must make an offering of generosity to receive the empowerment and practice materials as listed below. Karmically this deity is based on vast generosity. Since this form is extremely wrathful and powerful, it is not suitable for a person who does not have the ability to make a financial offering or who practices stinginess as the foundation. In order to make more merit, Rinpoche is specifically putting all the offerings for the practice packages to create holy objects that will bring many blessings to the world. This is a way to make the generosity vast that is offered. 3) You can not show or share your text with anyone, this includes other Lamas and Dharma teachers. It is for your own personal use only. 4) You must do the practice at least 4 times a year and say the mantra 100x every week for at least 1 year. It is better to do the practice every week for 1 year if you really want to see a big result. The results are not only financial but you will be connected to Shambhala and protected by the Kalk Kings of Shambhala and your ability to have supporting partners and family in your life.5) Registration must be made in advance so that your practice materials will be available. Last minute registrations will only be accepted for attendance unless materials are still available.

VAJRAPANI: Tame Your Demons
Tap into the power of all the Buddhas to tame your internal and external obstacles to realization. Vajrapani, the embodiment of the power of all the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times is a fearless Bodhisattva of the tenth level and the guardian of the Buddhist tantras.
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow a very special empowerment of Vajrapani known as the Demon Destroyer and the practice that Lama Lutrin used in the retreat in which he cured himself of Leprosy. This empowerment and retreat will help practitioners embrace their fierce power within to tame their obstacles on their path.
KHENTRUL RINPOCHE PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH VAJRAPANI
“For me Vajrapani is personally special because my root lama, Lama Lobsang Trinley, was considered as the actual Vajrapani. When he practiced it, he could completely heal his leprosy during a long solitary retreat. At the end of his retreat he achieved the same realization of the great Indian mahasiddhas.
My root Lama’s teachings on Vajrapani were incredibly special. As many high Lamas came to our monastery in order to receive the Vajrapani empowerment from him, I could receive it many times. All these Lamas who came had no doubt about his realization. They said that he himself was the actual Vaprapani, as they were witnessing my Lama taming incredibly powerful demons who wish to bring harm to our regions.”
This practice has a very special connection to the Shambhala King Suchandra, who requested the Buddha the Kalachakra Tantra Teachings and established these teachings in Shambhala, was an emanation of Vajrapani.
INCLUDED IN THIS EVENT
Vajrapani Empowerment (Jenang), Oral transmission of the practice, a preliminary teaching and practice sessions with a Q&A session.
VAJRAPANI FOR KALACHAKRA STUDENTS
Rinpoche says that we do not necessarily need to practice Vajrapani separately, we just need to build a connection. Then, recollecting him, you can integrate it within your own practice, for example within the Kalachakra Path. You can either practice Vajrapani as your main practice and see it as non-contradictory with the Kalachakra Path, or you can focus on the Kalachakra system without seeing the separation from Vajrapani, as he is even included in the Kalachakra mandala.
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 are new to the buddhist path, you may also like to study Khentrul Rinpoche’s “What’s Real?” course from our learning center and to read Rinpoche’s books “Unveiling Your Sacred Truth” — Books 1 and 2. For knowing more about Rinpoche’s root Lama’s biography and his connection with Vajrapani, you can find more information in the book “The Realm of Shambhala” where Rinpoche wrote about the whole Kalachakra lineage he holds.

Tap into the power of all the Buddhas to open your heart to liberate all sentient beings. The infinite ultimate bodhicitta needed to realize enlightenment and liberate beings as limitless as space, may be simple to understand but can be difficult to cultivate. In our world it can be hard enough to develop worldly compassion and sympathy for friends our family; never mind those with opposing political views or who you perceived to have wronged you. To develop the heart of enlightenment big enough to genuinely care for the whole world selflessly like the great bodhisattvas of Shambhala takes a huge continuous effort.
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow this empowerment (jenang) to help connect us with the power of Chenrezig and through the Shambhala Kalki King Pundarika, the power of the Kalkis. Through this special connection we can with sustained effort, open our hearts to truly cultivate the capacity of unconditional love and compassion to create a Golden Age of time on earth. Khentrul Rinpoche will guide us in a teaching on how the Shambhala Kings are the ultimate compassionate warriors that we can become as well.
INCLUDED IN THIS EVENT
Chenrezig (Jenang), Oral transmission of the practice, a preliminary teaching and practice sessions with a Q&A session.
CHENREZIG FOR KALACHAKRA STUDENTS
The main commentary, Vimalaprabha” (Skt.) or “Stainless Light” that we have on the Kalachakra Tantra was written by the Shambhala Kalki Pundarika who is a manifestation of Chenrizig. Through Kalki Pundarika’s infinite compassion, he taught the Kalachakra Tantra in a way that was more accessible for sentient beings and helped the teachings flourish in the sublime realm of Shambhala. HH the Great 14th Dalia Lama, and Kalachakra Master, is also seen as a manifestation of Chenrizig and many of the practitioners of Kalachakra globally are connected to him through empowerment.You do not necessarily need to practice Chenrizig separately, we just need to build a connection. Then you can integrate it within your own practice, for example within the Kalachakra Path. You can either practice Chenrizig as your main practice and see it as non-contradictory with the Kalachakra Path, or you can focus on the Kalachakra system without seeing the separation from Chenrizig, as he is even included in the Kalachakra mandala. You can work with the different Deities seeing them all as Kalachakra to cultivate different aspects of your nature that you feel they will help.

In our modern times, many people prefer to be spiritual but not religious. Part of this is the desire to connect with the essence of our true nature that is beyond the limitations of any religion. This is exactly what the Kalachakra tantra teaches. Rinpoche will give teachings about why the Kalachakra tantra is a Rimé practice that is inclusive of all the world’s spiritual traditions. Even in the realm of Shambhala when the great Bodhisattvas realized the teachings of the Kalachakra tantra, they did so from backgrounds based on various wisdom traditions. Understanding the true deeper nature of the Kalachakra can help move us out of the limited thinking of lineage or religion and closer to our own sacred truth.
About Khentrul Rinpoche
Khentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and spiritual director of Dzokden. Rinpoche is the author of Unveiling Your Sacred Truth, The Great Middle Way: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness, A Happier Life, and The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path.
Rinpoche 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 study 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. Kalachakra (wheel of time) teachings contain profound methods to harmonize our external environment with the inner world of body and mind, ultimately bringing about the golden age of peace and harmony (dzokden).
