About the Practice of Chod
Chod is a powerful practice of accepting willingly what is undesirable, cutting through our concepts, reducing our self-cherishing nature, leading us closer to our own true nature. The main obstacle to our own enlightenment is our clinging to our own ego, our own existence. When fear, fixation, and self-clinging are cut through, giving rise to the awareness of the pure nature of emotions and the emptiness of mental obscurations.
Machig Labdron is the creator of a unique form of Mahamudra chöd practice. She is the manifestation of Prajnaparamita, the Great Mother who gives birth to realisation of emptiness. Furthermore, Machig Labdron is also the manifestation of Arya Tara, who gives birth to compassion. A chod practitioner can cut through anything and therefore his or her main intention should be to unify understanding of emptiness and loving kindness and compassion, just as Machig Labdron did.
Khentrul Rinpoche has received the Chod transmission in multiple traditions such as the Nyingma Kagyu, Jonang and the Gelug traditions. He had the pleasure of practicing Chod Retreat and receiving transmission from Kalka Jetsun Dhampa considered to be a reincarnation of Taranatha and the spiritual head of Mongolia.
Throughout Buddhist history, female practitioners have been models of leadership in virtuous conduct, meditation, discipline and practice. Machig Labdron is an extraordinary example of a highly realised female practitioner. One of Rinpoche’s aspirations is to cultivate more realised female practitioners around the world and we hope this practice inspires the prominence and proliferation of more female Buddhist masters.
About the Empowerment
This is a rare and precious empowerment of Chöd from the primordial mind of master Jetsun Taranatha. You will receive a booklet to follow along throughout the whole empowerment. Part of the text includes inspiring stories about Machik Labdrön’s life.
This event includes the following:
1 – “The Chöd Empowerment that Opens the Gates to the Sky” written by Jestun Taranatha
2 – Oral Transmission of “Subduing Through Splendour” (a traditional Chöd Sadhana of the Jonang Tradition)
Participants online are required to join and watch the 2 live sessions.
Who can attend?
This event is open to all. There are no formal prerequisites to attend. However, previous Buddhist study and practice (such as the Ngöndro) are very helpful. If you are new to the Buddhist path, you may also like to study beforehand Khentrul Rinpoche’s course titled “What’s Real?” in our learning center and to read Books One and Two of Rinpoche’s trilogy “Unveiling Your Sacred Truth”.

【时轮金刚孺子七级灌顶】 为成就黄金世纪的和平
与 夏‧堪祖仁波切一起为成就黄金世纪的和平，获取时轮金刚灌顶——一种唤醒内心平静、促进全球和谐的强大加持。灌顶将于持续数天的禅定氛围中进行。请留意所属时区的时间，以便确定能出席所有环节。法会包括祈求世界和平与和谐的仪式、金刚舞、展示立体觉囊派时轮坛城。
是次灌顶，有清晰的指引，逐步引领着，让你清楚自己领受的内容。透过讲座、讨论、禅修、持咒及供养法，你能够与自身内在的和谐与和平，建立深厚的连系。
时轮金刚大法
时轮金刚大法能为个人及世界带来和平，它让我们学会了如何使我们的身心与环境和谐相处。时轮指时间之轮，它超越了宗教、时间、空间及感知到的现实，它构成了我们的本质，它使宇宙与我们内在的系统及觉悟的心达至和谐。不似佛教其他教派，时轮金刚大法提供了详细的观点及方向，帮助任何宗教人士认识自己的真性。此法能助我们超越过往习气的局限，释放我们爱与慈悲的无限潜能。
完整的觉悟之道
藏传佛教觉囊派拥有最完整的修学方法，能让行者清晰地逐步走向觉悟。觉囊派所传持的六支金刚瑜伽，许多大师高僧都曾修习过而因此得到证悟。一向以来，都很少传授给藏地以外的在家居士，大部分的觉囊派瑜伽士都选择留在喜马拉雅山区的寺院或洞窟修行。夏．堪祖仁波切发愿，把这些教义以英语传到世界各地，这成为了他的毕生使命。他期望能建立有利的条件，不论男女，都能在生命中，领受并实践这些深妙教法的心髓。
时轮金刚与世界和平
释迦牟尼佛在传授《心经》的同时，也向香巴拉诸王传授了时轮金刚密续。 其中，明确预言到世界和平将会降临大地。 请一同创造条件，迎接全球和平与和谐的黄金时代。
夏．堪祖仁波切全心全意地专注于如何促进转化弟子的真实发愿。 他善巧地使这丰富而复杂的古代智慧变得易于使用，以便任何人都能够以自己的能力，在生活中的各个领域里，更轻松地使用。

仅仅实时参加灌顶并不意味着你已真正领受灌顶。你必须清楚了解整个过程。为了确保每位参加者都能充分领受灌顶，仁波切慈悲地将其指导手册制作成电子书提供给你，以便你能跟随指引，清楚知道正在发生的事情。你不得与他人分享此活动手册，或将灌顶的参与权限给予他人。此手册仅限于你个人使用。
我们将为线上报名者提供一本电子书，内容包含逐步指引，该电子书支援以下语言：英语、繁体中文、意大利语、西班牙语、葡萄牙语、匈牙利语、越南语、德语、罗马尼亚语、蒙古语、斯洛文尼亚语、俄语和法语。
如何进行网上灌顶及闭关
- 求授灌顶的学员，必须在网页上登记，选择语言，便会收到确认电邮。所有的网上灌顶、闭关及课程均使用Dzokden Learning Center，请于报名活动时使用注册时用的同一个电邮。如你尚未注册，可于任何时候注册，活动开始前便会把相关课程或活动加到你的「我的仪表版」之中。
- 灌顶前，将收到所需物品清单，该等物品有助你得到最好的经历。若不能全部备妥，不用担心，它们只是一些象征物，缺少任何一项或多项，仍会得到灌顶的。最重要的是，你要清晰自己在做甚么。只是出席，也未必能保证你得到灌顶，你一定要知道自己在做甚么。为确保每个人都能得到灌顶，仁波切慈悲地制作了灌顶仪轨法本，以电子书形式发放，学员只需按照步骤，便可清晰知道灌顶的内容及指示。此法本只许个人使用，不能转交或展示内容予其他人以得到灌顶。仁波切会于灌顶前一晚或当天才发放电子书（pdf档案）。
- 你将会收到进入 ZOOM 的资料，也可以在Dzokden Learning Center找到，部分内容会于活动结束后上载，供弟子重温，而灌顶／口传部分则一律必须实时参与，不设重温。
供养仁波切、赞助闭关
传统上，受法后弟子会供养上师。由于是网上灌顶，你可以按此供养仁波切。
仁波切慈悲，应允部分地区弟子不用缴费便能参加。虽然Dzokden主要由义工运作，但行政、营运成本、网上平台、通讯软件、海外运送物资等花费与日俱增，而是次灌顶所需准备的物资甚多，如果你经济上行有余力，想为Dzokden出一分力，请考虑供养，供养悉随专便，但请不要对自己的生活造成负担和压力，欢迎利用此页下方的报名选项。

Khentrul Rinpoche has graciously agreed to bestow Karma Lingpa’s Zhitro Hearing Liberation empowerment and lead a Purification Puja to honor and benefit our departed loved ones. He iwll also give teachings on the Bardo and death.
This rare and powerful “hearing liberation” teaching belongs to the highest yoga tantra. Khentrul Rinpoche has a profound connection with this practice, having received this empowerment many times. It includes liberation prayers and various sacred rituals, requiring extensive preparation—making public performances rare. However, its blessings are immense, supporting life, the transition of death, the bardo journey, and rebirth. It is especially meaningful for expressing gratitude to our parents and ancestors.
The Nyedren Purification and Liberation Puja helps those who have passed away, whether recently or long ago, by guiding them beyond the bardo and the six realms of existence into the awakened state of Samantabhadra. Through prayers and ritual offerings, the consciousness of the deceased merges with the enlightened wisdom of the hundred deities. As a final act of dedication, we will burn name tablets of both the living and the departed.
Khentrul Rinpoche has undertaken the extensive preparations for this ceremony out of his boundless compassion. This is a rare and precious opportunity—seize the moment to participate and offer your heartfelt prayers. Life is uncertain, but through this sacred practice, we can bring profound benefit to our loved ones and ourselves.
ABOUT ZHITRO
Zhitro, meaning “peaceful and wrathful,” denotes the assembly of forty-two peaceful and fifty-eight wrathful deities and was buried by Guru Padmasambhava in the eighth century. The teaching was revealed as terma in the 14th Century by the terton Karma Lingpa. These Buddhas are alternatively referred to as the bardo deities. The term ‘bardo’ signifies an ‘intermediate state,’ one of six such states, with the reference here being to the bardo of dying – the transitional phase between death and rebirth. During this phase, the one hundred Zhitro deities manifest themselves to the deceased to facilitate their liberation from the bardo. At some stages in the Bardo state, people need peaceful Deities; in other stages, people need wrathful ones to benefit their journey of awakening.
The teachings of Zhitro, as imparted by Guru Padmasambhava, establish a direct conduit for practitioners to engage with the bardo deities through dedicated practice and supplication. This empowerment is a blessing in our lives and prepares us for liberation in the bardo following our death. As per the Bardo Thodrol, a seminal text on the bardo in Vajrayana Buddhism (widely known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead), bardo deities present themselves to the deceased over a period of forty-nine days while the deceased is in the bardo. Initially, the peaceful deities appear, and if the deceased fails to recognize and attain liberation through these peaceful deities, the wrathful deities subsequently manifest. If the deceased cannot connect with the deities during this forty-nine-day period, their consciousness is drawn back into rebirth within one of the six realms.

SPONSOR THE PUJA
Many people enjoy watching various Pujas online performed by Lamas believing they are receiving a huge benefit. It is also common in the West for people to ask a lama to pray for them without making any offering or having a personal connection. While, as one of all sentient beings, you are connected to the results of the Puja made for the benefit of all sentient beings, the karmic connection is incredibly weak, and therefore so is the result. Normally during certain times in one’s life when a Puja or prayers are required to clear various karmic debts, obstacles, or karmically-based illness, it is customary to make financial offerings to the Lama for prayers and Pujas. This creates a stronger Karmic connection to the Puja, which creates a stronger karmic result.

Every day, we pass through countless small transitions—tiny deaths and rebirths in each moment. Yet, when the final transition of this life comes, we struggle, even though our old selves have already dissolved and reformed countless times. Death is not separate from life—it is an essential part of our journey. Whether you or a loved one is facing death now or many years from today, it is vital to understand how to live and die with awareness.
Khentrul Rinpoche will guide us through the profound teaching of the bardos—the transition phases between one life and the next. These moments hold immense potential for spiritual transformation if we recognize them as opportunities rather than obstacles. Through teaching on karma, the causes and conditions we create, and their deep connection to death and rebirth, Rinpoche will illuminate how we can shape our future beyond this life.

Khentrul Rinpoche will speak on the divine female wisdom and how to use it on the tantric path. He will bestow the Wang (full empowerment) of the Goddess Red Saraswati who is the consort of Manjushri and the female embodiment of wisdom. The empowerment comes from the Jonang tradition, based on Jetsun Taranatha. Most of the tantras that are popular in other traditions come from him because Taranatha is the treasury of the tantra.
His teaching will be on using feminine wisdom on the path of desire to work with our emotions. We do not have to abandon the challenges of our modern world. In fact, we can learn to face them directly and transform them into our path to liberation.
About Red Sarasvati
Both Buddhists and non-Buddhists worship her equally. In the vedic tradition, Brahma created the world, and for a long time after, they didn’t have any sounds or sentient beings. Many gods came to him and said, “you made the world, but there are no beings and no sounds.” Then Brahma spilled water from his vase, and there became this incredible sound, this sound is known as the goddess Sarasvati. So that is why she is known as Brahma’s daughter. This is, in general, a story based on Hindu teachings, but the Tibetans have many, many different versions of her. Some of her forms are white with two arms. This form is a tantric 4-armed version and is powerful and magnetizing in nature.
Saraswati is a wisdom deity but a female version, just like Manjushri. Many great practitioners consider her to be Manjushri’s secret consort. There are so many other lamas worshipping, especially scholars worshipping her instead of Manjushri.
Includes:
-Red Saraswati Empowerment Wang
-Oral transmission of the practice text
