Kalachakra Empowerment Pre-Teaching – October 1, 2025
Discover the Living Legacy of the Jonang Lineage
Join Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche for a special pre-teaching in preparation for the upcoming Kalachakra Empowerment. In this exclusive session, Rinpoche will:
-Re-release “Ancient Sages of the Jonang Tradition”
Be among the first to receive Rinpoche’s newly revised edition, featuring rare teachings on the great yogis who preserved the Kalachakra lineage through centuries of practice.
–Illuminate the Path of the Ancient Yogis
Explore inspiring stories of monastic and non-monastic tantric practitioners who unlocked the transformative power of Kalachakra. Discover how their realization can guide our own practice today.
-Offer of the preparation Ritual Dances
Witness a traditional ceremony invoking local deities and offering goddesses to secure the sacred grounds—setting the stage for the Empowerment itself.
Why the Jonang Tradition Is So Extraordinary
The Jonang lineage has always stood apart for its living, experiential realization. From the earliest Mahasiddhas to the countless yogis hidden in the valleys of Jomanang, these masters embodied the completion-stage practices of the Six Vajra Yogas to cultivate direct perceptions of their Buddha-nature. It was this very potency of practice—and the abundance of yogins who reported clear, systematic, and spontaneous wisdom—that led Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen, after studying in many schools, to settle in Jomanang Valley and dedicate himself wholly to Kalachakra.
In our pre-teaching, Rinpoche will draw upon these remarkable examples—tales of hidden yogins who achieved profound realization through dedication and devotion—so that we, too, may be inspired to walk their footsteps and awaken the same innate clarity within ourselves.
How to Participate
This pre-teaching is open to those registered for the October Kalachakra Empowerment as well as anyone who wants to learn more to decide if they wish to attend. You can also watch the recording to prepare for the empowerment if you miss it and are enrolled in the Kalachakra Empowerment. This event is donation based. Please help support or effort to bring the Kalachakra Empowerments all over the world by donating to this event.

度母嘉祝法會 暨二十一度母財寶瓶加持儀式
覺囊不共護法 紅矛毗沙門天灌頂 暨黃金世紀財富儀式
在蛇年接受強大的加持，轉化你的運勢。適合尋求財富、豐盛、子女、成功或名聲之大乘行者。
你將獲得：
– 二十一度母灌頂
– 覺囊不共護法紅矛毗沙門天灌頂
– 度母嘉祝祥運寶幢法會
– 二十一度母財寶瓶加持儀式
完整口傳《度母總集——滿願珍寶賢瓶》儀軌，加持個人修行及增益。
關於度母嘉祝
嘉祝སྒྲོལ་མའི་ཀ་འཛུགས།，意思爲「設立度母之寶幢」（二十一度母祥運寶幢），乃覺囊傳統流傳下來，甚爲殊勝且具加持力的除障祈福法門之一，是極其稀有系統，即使在西藏也幾乎不為人知。此次法會的規模屬於最奢華的規模。
夏‧堪祖仁波切將加持636個黃金世紀寶瓶，建立因緣條件以：
– 讓卓登（Dzokden）在全球繁榮
– 在美國創建卓登佛法中心
– 慶祝2027年香巴拉救度王之更迭
這不僅是一次性的供養法會。整個度母嘉祝文本已被翻譯，因此如果你願意，你可以自行繼續修持——將持久的繁榮影響你的生命和生活。
法門何以效益迅速
許多人希求迅速解決深層問題——持誦一個咒語或修持單一儀軌——但他們的願望未能實現。為何？因為真正的改變需要數百萬業力條件成熟。而我們自身布施的功德是很重要的增上緣。此深奧的供養法會——乃由喇嘛永登桑波Yonten Sangpo與喇嘛洛卓札巴Lodro Drakpa的意伏藏——從你的本命元辰往各方面創造財富繁榮的條件。
大部份人去處理世俗煩惱或障礙時都只想用簡單的方法。他們嘗試處理或修習一兩個法門去解決問題，但往往效果未如理想。這是因為對於要締造正確條件所投入的藥，份量太少和太單純了。所有事情的發生都是源自千千萬萬不同業力成熟的結果。而要任何事情往好的方向結果，是取決於我們慷慨投入了多少解藥。
這次覺囊派的二十一度母嘉祝法會暨灌頂是最為精微廣大的儀式，為我們締造結出吉祥好運所需要的因緣條件。儀式針對我們各自的生肖屬性，對其有所影響的多類「冤親債主」作出供養。這個層面的業力在我們出生那一刻便已定下來，而我們日常生活往往忽略了。
儀式有助消除逆緣惡業所引致如疾病、邪魔侵擾、惡運。締造我們的名譽、財富、繁榮、活力、長壽和健康。讓我們可以更好地去修行佛法，利益一切眾生。仁波切認為此時正是適合的時機，首次為我們利用這個儀式來助長因緣條件，創造和平與和諧的香巴拉黃金世紀。
透過廣大供養無數影響我們業力結果的有情眾生，此法會淨化與以下相關的不確定業力：
– 疾病
– 惡靈與魔害
– 增長財富、健康、名聲、活力與長壽的障礙
仁波切的本尊已示意，現在是為眾生利益而傳持此法要的完美時機。讓我們團結起來，為黃金世紀的和平與和諧在此世間顯現創造條件。
稀有機會將財富與成功帶進你的生命
仁波切已花費數月準備一套極其特殊的加持物品，以賦予此修持系統力量，並讓你在法會後持續修持（自修和共修）：
– 特別編撰的修軌
– 立體的二十一度母寶庫宮殿
– 636個財寶瓶
– 委託定制的唐卡（印刷品）
– 招財箭
– 吉祥財富寶幢（印刷品）
– 與財富相關的佛像與聖物
這些加持物品可在報名參與時作為自選的修持套裝取得。灌頂及法會開光加持後，你將能夠加入全球社群，每年四次在每個至點與分點（四季節分）共修。度母嘉祝儀軌只會給予有請購法器套裝來修持的弟子，而這些法器是修持儀軌的必需品。如果你請購這些修持套裝，你還可參與額外的「蛇年龍王日供養法會（財富與順緣）」——透過我們學習中心的專屬課程提供。
此次法會中還加持以下聖物：
– 度母嘉祝財寶瓶
– 地藏寶瓶
– Dzokden Tashi Gadu的立體的二十一度母寶庫宮殿
– Dzokden’s Tantric Treasures商店的財富本尊聖像與物品，以確保虔誠的修行者能請購已開光的珍品來觀修
預訂修持套裝或加持物品：（陸續上架中）
https://www.tantrictreasures.com/collections/drolmi-kazug-treasure-vase-practices
物品將迅速寄出。請注意：某些物品僅限實時參加活動的修行者。這將在網站上清楚標註，並在發貨前檢查你是否已經報名或參與有關活動。
灌頂手冊與修持儀軌
所有參與者將獲得：
– 二十一度母灌頂書，講解灌頂過程的內容和意義，讓參加者能得到極致的加持利益
– 二十一度母簡軌
– 紅矛毗沙門天（只有英語版）
時間表與實時參與要求
法會不提供法會的完整錄影——可能只上載尾聲的教學。所有灌頂與口傳必須實時領受。必須實時參與的環節已在時間表中清楚標註。若要接受完整口傳，弟子必須全程出席度母嘉祝法會（第一天共四節）。如果你實時領受了口傳與灌頂，你將擁有繼續修持此稀有珍貴法門的完整加持。這不僅是靈性覺醒的法門——它是一個完整系統，成就你現實生命中的成功。

2. 獲得存取權 — 錄入學習中心平台的課程，獲取Zoom連結、祈願文與修持儀軌等。

參加灌頂和法會的費用
從前在印度及西藏，有些人會長途跋涉，為求得到佛法而去布施捐出所有黃金、房產等財物。現今由於我們的功德未足，上師們不再提出這些巨大的要求。解脫之道的佛法是無價的，沒有任何財物布施能夠相提並論。然而，仁波切傳法（尤其是網上平台、Zoom費用等）亦和法會需要用到經費。我們提供了三種不同的隨喜功德級別，好讓全球各地生活成本不同的人都可以負擔得到。不會有人因為金錢上的欠缺而錯失機會。如果你是出家人或需要財務支援，請電郵[email protected]。但請記住，此法會為著增益財富與清除星象業障——它透過布施的功德與你的業力來作用。請慎重考慮財務支援的決定。
如果你想供養仁波切，你可以透過 Dzokden 的網頁。*所有捐款均視為非限制性捐款，好讓基金會可以在最需要的地方分配資源來有效地執行我們的使命。

What to Expect in This Special Teaching
Khentrul Rinpoche will guide us through:
-A glimpse of the Kalachakra path to enlightenment including the role of external, internal, and secret Kalachakra
-An introduction to the Greatness of the Six Vajra Yogas, the completion stage practices unique to the Jonang tradition
This session may include elements of ritual and possibly a more personal “fireside chat” style reflection to help you connect with the heart of the Kalachakra path.

Discover the Mandala’s Hidden Wisdom and Its Deep Feminine Essence
Join us for a powerful week of tantric practice, lineage-based visualization, and spiritual empowerment led by two extraordinary teachers—Khentrul Rinpoche, Kalachakra master and Jonang lineage holder, and Robert Thurman, world-renowned scholar and interpreter of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist wisdom.
This retreat is not merely contemplative—it is immersive, designed to awaken your inner mandala and help you embody the transformative reality of Kalachakra’s sacred architecture. Whether you are deepening generation stage practice or receiving these empowerments for the first time, you’ll find rare access to teachings that unite spiritual rigor with visionary insight.
A Practice Upgrade Rooted in the Jonang Kalachakra Tradition
This retreat will center on the use of a special practice text by the Jonangpa grand meditator, the legendary Dolpopa. As we progress through the text, we will systematically refine the visualizability and occupy ability of the full body, speech, and mind mandala palaces, cultivating an immersive experience of the generation stage within the Kālachakra system. Lama Khentrul Rinpoche’s team will guide participants through this rare Jonangpa text, while presenting unique visual slide decks that depict each deity, including their postures, ornaments, and implements, and illustrate their precise placement within the vast memory palace of the mandala.
To support and enrich the practice, we will draw from several English-language sources, including detailed references to Edward Henning’s Kalachakra Mandala, noted for its vivid architectural illustrations and comprehensive chapter on the creation/generation stage. These will be further supplemented by private translations of key passages from the generation stage sādhana manual of the Seventh Dalai Lama, Kelsang Gyatso.
As we all know, maintaining daily advanced practice outside the retreat setting can be challenging, especially amid the demands and disruptions of our rapidly transforming world. During this retreat, we will focus on finding ways to remain mindful of the mandala’s sacred reality by learning tools that will help us to integrate its stabilizing presence into our everyday lives. By aligning more fully with the mandala’s alternative reality, we can work on transforming our experience, even as we navigate the complexities of modern living.
Empowerments for Purification and Inner Wisdom
Heruka Vajrasattva Empowerment (Saturday, September 6)
Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow this rare Kalachakra-specific form of Vajrasattva, empowering you to purify karmic obscurations and reconnect with the pure, unstained nature of your mind.
“Vajrasattva practice allows you to uncover the reality of your Buddha-nature, which is currently hidden as a result of defilements created by attachment, aggression, and delusion. Our current situation is like a dirty piece of glass. This practice provides you with a powerful method to wash away the dirt while being confident that underneath there is crystal clear glass, which is completely pure and unstained. Through the practice of Vajrasattva, this confidence will steadily grow as you come closer and closer to discovering the innate purity of your most profound nature.”
Vishvamata Empowerment
Enter the generation stage of Kalachakra through the empowerment of Vishvamata, the Universal Mother and consort of Kalachakra. She is the embodiment of prajña (wisdom) and the gateway to the inner dimension of the mandala and the Yoginis.
What You Will Take Away
-Practice authorization for Heruka Vajrasattva, Kalachakra’s wrathful purifying deity
–Empowerment into Vishvamata, granting access to generation stage practice
-A deeper understanding of the Mind Mandala, including its deities and symbolism
-A generation stage sadhana practice focused on the Mind Mandala from the Jonang lineage, never before bestowed by Khentrul Rinpoche
-Tools to help stabilize sacred perception and carry the mandala into your daily life
Teachings with Robert Thurman: The Mandala as Living Psychology
Throughout the retreat, Robert Thurman will offer inspired lectures and Q&A sessions that weave the Kalachakra’s esoteric teachings into a psychological and symbolic framework. His deep experience and lucid explanations make the mandala not only accessible, but vibrantly relevant in our world today.
Featured Text: A Visual Guide for Practitioners
Kalachakra Mandala: The Jonang Tradition
by Edward Henning, edited by Robert Thurman
(Treasury of the Buddhist Sciences, 2023)
This retreat draws significantly from Henning’s illustrated masterpiece, based on Bamda Gelek Gyatso’s Jonang transmission. With vivid detail and practical insight, the book maps the three-tiered mandala and its hundreds of deities—offering clarity for visualization and spiritual resonance for deepening your practice.
“A crown jewel of Indo-Tibetan tantra, the Kalachakra mandala is a memory palace of the awakened mind. Henning’s contribution brings clarity, precision, and artistic insight—an invaluable companion for both scholars and meditators.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is ideal for:
-Students who have previously received Kalachakra empowerment and want to deepen their practice
-Practitioners engaging in or entering the generation stage
-Spiritual seekers drawn to sacred feminine wisdom and the mandala as meditative architecture
-Anyone wishing to deepen their Kalachakra mandala understanding with authentic guidance

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”.
