While the Buddha taught that life is suffering, he also taught that there is a way to become free from suffering. In this evening’s talk, Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche will teach powerful mind-training techniques from the Sutrayana path of Buddhism to help us learn to cope with life and transform it. While we can’t prevent life’s challenges, we can become skillful in dealing with them.
Suffering can appear in our lives in so many forms, such as the easy-to-do identify suffering of illness, job loss, divorce, or other adverse life circumstances. Or suffering can be subtle and sneaky in the form of passing radiantly joyful emotions that are so wonderful we wish they would never leave. Even the best ice cream will melt in the hot sun if not eaten.
While our feelings and emotions can change momentarily, it does not mean we must be thrown into turmoil by sadness, jealousy, anger, hatred, or frustration. Nor does that mean we must reject our emotions and experiences, hide them, or shame them away. The Buddha taught many precise antidotes that can be learned and used for each emotion to help us work through them as they arise. When this happens we can better achieve all of our life priorities in work, family, or spiritual realization.
These sutra antidotes can help practitioners at all levels. Even a tantric student wishing to work directly with emotion’s energy may find themselves in a moment when reducing the emotion’s intensity is necessary before transforming it.

金刚手菩萨：降服你的心魔
金刚手菩萨被视为十方大世界三世诸佛力量总集化身，是无惧无畏的十地菩萨，也是金刚乘修行者的守护者。在新年伊始之际，调伏清净一切违缘魔障，依仗所有诸佛菩萨的方便大悲之力来降服你内在与外在世界的修证障碍。
夏·堪祖仁波切此次将传授一种非常殊胜的金刚手菩萨灌顶，也被称为降伏部多（灭断诸魔）金刚手。此法门正是仁波切的根本上师 觉囊派时轮金刚法王 龙程喇嘛·洛桑赤列自愈、并为他人治疗包括麻风病等各种疾病时所修持的密法。
于世间出世间殊胜的不共利益
降魔金刚手法门的灌顶和闭关能帮助修行者感受到内在的强大力量，并能平息降伏修证道路上的所有障碍。此密法曾经为不共的的密咒法，因其效果迅猛由古印度大成就者们传承为度化众生的大方便法门。
修持降魔金刚手本尊相应法的世间与出世间的殊胜利益包括：降伏一切邪魔外道，消灭一切地水火风所生灾难。除障、净业、息灾，避凶，免疾疫、长寿、盛名、增运、大喜乐、大成就。
汉译藏传佛经的密教部中，有《佛说金刚手菩萨降伏一切部多大教王经》，其中礼赞金刚手菩萨为「降伏部多最上王」，为一切忿怒威猛本尊之首。
《大日经疏》：「西方谓夜叉为秘密，以其身口意，速疾隐秘，难可了知故。旧翻或云密迹，若浅略明义，秘密主，即是夜叉王也。执金刚杵常侍卫佛，故曰金刚手。」身为夜叉王，金刚手菩萨可号令一切诸天神将，号令统摄毗沙门天王，象鼻天王、阿修罗王等一切金刚护法。
夏·堪祖仁波切与金刚手菩萨的不共之缘
“于我而言，金刚手菩萨是很特别的存在，因为我的根本上师洛桑赤列尊者被公认为金刚手菩萨的真实化身。当他修习此法，他通过长期闭关完全治愈了自身的麻风病。而当他闭关结束之时，他已获得与伟大的印度大成就者们同等的证量。”
“我的根本上师所传授金刚手菩萨的教言是极为殊胜的。许多高僧纷纷来到我们寺庙于他座下领受此法灌顶，我亦有幸领受了许多许多次传法。所有来访的僧众都对尊者的证量心悦诚服。正如他的上师所认证的，所有人纷纷赞叹龙程喇嘛本人便是真实的金刚手菩萨化身，因为他们亲眼目睹了尊者是如何降服那些在我们当地试图作乱的妖魔鬼众。”
此法门与本派觉囊派有着相当特殊的因缘，这是因为香巴拉国王月贤王向佛陀请求传授金刚乘教法，并将之实践推广于香巴拉，香巴拉月贤王也正是为金刚手菩萨一个化身。

As we head towards the end of the year, Khentrul Rinpoche will guide us through a thought process to understand what type of Dharma we are practicing, for what reason, and how that reflects in our life priorities. If you ask most people, they will say they are practicing Dharma to benefit all sentient beings or to get out of Samsara. Maybe they will say they are practicing mindfulness and meditation to deal better with their life and reduce their anxiety. There are many reasons in why people choose to practice Dharma. These reasons may be based in wisdom and compassion or they may be based in Samsaric motivations. Rinpoche will help guide us in an end-of-the-year self-reflection so we can dig deeper into our own minds and uncover our blind spots in our intentions. By discovering our true intentions with our practice, we can create the opportunity in the new year to truly transition into a deeper level of practice, walking more fully on the path mindfully with discriminating awareness.

This event is available both Online and In-person.
Join Kalachakra Master Khentrul Rinpoche at Tibet House US (or online) for an inspiring evening. During the evening, Khentrul Rinpoche, a Jonang Kalachakra master, who focuses on the teachings from the pure land of Shambhala, will plant blessings in our mindstream of White Manjushri and Chenrezig that we can activate through our own practice and reflection on the texts.
White Manjushri helps us cultivate wisdom, specifically through gentle methods that help us teach others through our speech. Chenrezig is the Tibetan name for Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion.
To overcome the darkness in our world and manifest the Golden Age on Earth, we must cultivate both wisdom and compassion with the altruistic mind set on enlightenment. Wisdom and compassion are like the two wings of a bird: in order to fly, we must exercise both wings in equal measure. We need to recognize that deep work must be done on ourselves, and we should do our best and work diligently to transform our own minds. The more our minds are rooted in deep wisdom and compassion with altruistic intention, the less we contribute to suffering in the world and the better-equipped we will be to help others. We can not get discouraged and overwhelmed by the temporary negative conditions in our world. We can start our path to manifest the golden age right here. We can become the peace we want to see in our world.

This event is available both Online and In-person.
This event will be in English with live Hungarian translation, other languages will be available on Zoom only.
At the request of the Hungarian group, 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 Manjusrhi 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.
