About KuruKulla
Kurukulla, the powerful Dakini and emanation of Red Tara, is the “cause of wisdom” and the embodiment of enlightened feminine energy. Her unique ability to magnetize wisdom, wealth, health, and success makes her a revered figure across traditions.
This semi-wrathful goddess is known for her transformative power to subdue negative forces while attracting blessings. Kurukulla’s vibrant red energy symbolizes her dynamic force, capable of drawing positive resources and dispelling obstacles.
Invoke her to enhance spiritual growth, protect against misfortune, and manifest abundance. Through her practices—ranging from divination and amulets to controlling negative forces—Kurukulla empowers you to magnetize your desires, overcome challenges, and attract prosperity.
Her practice sadhanas are associated with developing many mundane siddhis such as the power to restore site, the power swift feet, power of Invisibility, the power of rejuvenation, the power to levitate, the power to move freely through the earth and the power to have command over the spirits of the underworld.
May KuruKulla, help us magnetize all the desired conditions for the flourishing of the Golden Age in our world, the flourishing of Kalachakra and the enlightenment of all sentient beings.

Read Dolpopa’s Classic text
Mountain Dharma: The Ocean of Definitive Meaning by Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen
It is said that teaching the Buddhadharma that the sons are more skilled than the fathers and that even the Buddha got better with practice. The early teachings say very little about the realized experience, and the Buddha remained silent on many points. The subsequent Perfection of Wisdom teachings says a little more but shy from saying too much about nonconceptual wisdom for fear of polluting it. Later in life, the Buddha was ready to talk about such things, and students were ready to hear them. After a thousand years, tantric masters learned the trick of making such insights about the fruition of the heart of the path. Here, you can read how Dolpopa presents these final teachings in all their glory, without invalidating any of those that came before.
One of the most important texts in all of Jonang Dharma is Dolpopa Sherab Gylatsen Mountain Dharma, commonly known as the Mountain Doctrine. Rime Lodrö (Ives Waldo) translated the book from Tibetan to English to ensure that the Zhentong view was properly translated.

On this incredibly auspicious full moon day hundreds of years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha in the form of the Yidam Deity appeared in Amravati to turn the wheel of Dharma. On this incredible day marking the month of Nagpa Dawa, at the request of Dharma King Suchandra from Shambhala, the Kalachakra Tantra was taught along with all other forms of tantra from the 4 faces of Kalachakra while the Buddha in the form of a monk simultaneously taught the Heart Sutra on Vulture Peak Mountain. While we do not have the full form of the Tantra that was taught that day, the abridged form of the Tantra that we have now is still the most extensive Tantra in the world. It has incredibly detailed and clear instructions explaining how to work with the external world, and the internal world to reveal the enlightened nature.
This day is very important for our world because it has been prophesied by Buddha Shakyamuni in the form of Kalachakra, that our world will transform into a Golden Age of Global Peace and harmony with the help of the Shambhala Dharma kings. On this day we will increase our connection to the 10th Level Bodhisattva Kings to help us on our Dharma path and remove obstacles so that we may reveal our own sacred truth and manifest a Golden Age on earth for the benefit of all beings.
We will celebrate this year with teachings on Shambhala, along with prayers to Shambhala and obstacle removal with the power of Shambhala Dharma Kings.
The Kalachakra Tsok and various Prayers of Shambhala and the Kalki King Obstacle removing prayer will be recited. Please make sure to have access to the Unrestricted Prayers and text in the learning center.

Amitabha is the most well-known Buddha after Buddha Shakyamuni himself. Some Chinese traditions only focus on Amitabha, and many Tibetans also focus on him because, in the Amitabha sutra, it is said he has taken many vows to help sentient beings easily be reborn in his Pureland of Sukhavati, the Land of Bliss.
Amitabha Pureland is one of the well-known easiest pure lands to get to, although perhaps harder to reach than the Bodhisattva realm of Shambhala. Through this empowerment, one can connect with and work to cultivate unwavering faith and devotion to Amitabha. If one is reborn in his pure land, the path to Buddhahood is natural.
Two of Khentrul Rinpoche’s Lamas, including his root Guru Lama Lobsang Trinlé emphasized Amitabha a lot, especially for non-monastic householder practitioners. Even though Lama Lobsang Trinlé was a Kalachakra master, he spent his whole life practicing and extensively teaching Amitabha to everyone. He eventually bestowed not only his hat but also his precious practice text of Amitabha to Khentrul Rinpoche. It had become warn out because he had used it for so many years. Lama Lutrin instructed Khentrul Rinpoche to teach this practice to Amitabha to many people in the future.
Up until now, Khentrul Rinpoche has focused on sharing his passion for Shambhala and the Golden Age, so he has not had a chance to emphasize Amitaha enough. But now he sees that it is the right time to start emphasizing and sharing these teachings to fulfill his responsibility to his precious teacher.
Many of the people with great faith and devotion feel at peace upon death, They often see Amitabha before they die and feel at peace and secure after they have become dedicated to this practice. A Jonang Lama and a Khandro said that Khentrul Rinpoche’s own mother went to Sukhavati so the practice is very powerful. Khentrul Rinpoche received this empowerment and practice many times from Nyingma Lama, Zhigli Khenpo Tenzin Zangpo and Lama Lobsang Trinley.
Rinpoche will give the empowerment and a practice with it.
