Kalachakra Empowerment for Global Peace with Khentrul Rinpoche
Join Khentrul Rinpoche as he bestows the Kalachakra empowerment—a powerful blessing to awaken inner peace and foster global harmony. Held over several days in a serene, meditative environment, this rare and profound ceremony includes sacred prayers, ritual dances, and the unveiling of a stunning 3D Jonang Kalachakra Mandala.
Each session will guide you step-by-step through the empowerment, helping you deeply understand and connect with what you’re receiving. Through teachings, discussion, meditation, mantra, and offerings, you’ll cultivate a powerful sense of inner harmony and universal compassion.
About Kalachakra
Kalachakra, the “Wheel of Time,” is a path to peace within and around us. It aligns our body, mind, and environment with the rhythm of the cosmos and the enlightened state. Unlike many teachings, Kalachakra offers detailed methods for awakening that are accessible to people of any background or belief system. It empowers us to break through limitations and discover our boundless potential for love and compassion.
A Complete Path to Enlightenment
The Jonang lineage of Tibetan Buddhism preserves a rare, complete system of enlightenment known for the Six Vajra Yogas. It has rarely been taught in its entirety to lay (non-monastic) practitioners in the West. Most of the Jonang Yogis have decided to remain practicing in their caves and monasteries in the Himalayas. Khentrul Rinpoche has dedicated his life to making these teachings available in the West—in clear, accessible modern languages. His mission is to help both householder men and women integrate these profound teachings into everyday life.
Kalachakra for World Peace
The Kalachakra Tantra, first taught by Buddha Shakyamuni to the Kings of Shambhala, includes a prophecy of a future Golden Age of peace on Earth. By receiving this empowerment, you help create the conditions for that age to arise.
Khentrul Rinpoche is a deeply authentic teacher committed to transforming the heartfelt aspirations of his students. With clarity and compassion, he makes this vast wisdom approachable for all, empowering people to live with greater purpose, peace, and harmony.

Kalachakra Booklet
Just attending empowerment does not mean you receive it. You must know what is going on. To ensure everyone will receive empowerment, Rinpoche will kindly make his instruction booklet available to you as an eBook so you can follow along so you know exactly what is happening. You are not allowed to share this program book with anyone else or give them access to the empowerment. This is private for your personal use.
We will provide online registrants with an eBook to follow along with step-by-step which is available in English, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Vietnamese, German, Romanian, Mongolian, Slovenian, Russian and French.
How the Online Empowerment Works
-Register each participant receiving the empowerment and choose your language. You’ll get a confirmation email and access to our online learning platform at learn.dzokden.org.
-Prepare with a short list of symbolic items to enhance your experience. Don’t worry if you can’t get them all—what matters most is understanding the empowerment. Just attending isn’t enough; you must be aware of what’s happening. To support this, Rinpoche will provide an eBook guide (typically the night before). Please don’t share it—it’s for your personal use only. If reading an eBook while on Zoom is a challenge, let us know in your registration.
-Attend the pre-teaching on Wednesday and Thursday or watch the recordings
-Attend the empowerment sessions via zoom. While all sessions are important, we’ve marked which ones are absolutely required. Rinpoche strongly encourages full participation. Empowerments and Oral Transmissions are never recorded.
OFFERING DANA TO RINPOCHE
It’s customary at the end of empowerment for students to make an offering of Dana to the guru. As this is an online event, you can make the offering of Dana to Rinpoche here.

夏．堪祖仁波切慈悲答允華語弟子所求，授予噶瑪林巴伏藏聞即解脫灌頂，並舉辦除障超薦法會，冥陽兩利。仁波切還會教導關於中陰的課題。
這個「聞即解脫」教學是無上瑜伽密續的一部分。 夏．堪祖仁波切與這種修行有深厚的聯繫，曾多次獲得灌頂。這個法門包含許多儀軌和修行形式。由於儀軌對各項前行、準備和供物要求頗高，故很少公開進行。然而，這個法門對生、死、中陰和轉世過程非常有助益，尤其適合報答父母和祖先。
除障超薦法會（གནས་འདྲེན་，「引導亡者儀式」）幫助已經去世而滯留在中陰或其他六道中徘徊的眾生，解脫到普賢王如來的淨境。這個法會能主要利益已故眾生，無論去世多久。通過法會的祈禱和儀式，亡者的意識與百尊不可分離的智慧融合。儀式結束時，將焚燒所有蓮位和祿位。
仁波切出於無邊慈悲，已為此法會進行了繁複的準備。這是一個稀有而珍貴的機會——把握時機參與，並獻上你衷心的祈禱。生命無常，但透過此修行莊嚴儀軌，能為親友及自身帶來深遠利益。
中陰文武百尊 ZHITRO
文武百尊是華人地區流行譯法，Zhitro是「寂忿」，意為「寂靜和忿怒」，指的是四十二位寂靜本尊和五十八位忿怒本尊的集會，由蓮花生大士在八世紀埋藏。這個教法在14世紀由伏藏師噶瑪林巴揭示為伏藏。這些諸尊也被稱為中陰本尊。「中陰」一詞意味着「中間狀態」，共有六種這樣的狀態，這裡指的是死亡的中陰——死亡和重生之間的過渡階段。在這個階段，一百位寂忿本尊向亡者顯現，以幫助他們從中陰中解脫。在中陰狀態的某些階段，人們需要寂靜本尊；在其他階段，人們需要忿怒本尊來有益於他們的覺醒之旅。
蓮花生大士所傳授的寂忿教法為修行者建立了一個直接的管道，通過專注的修行和祈請與中陰本尊接觸。這種灌頂在我們的生時是一種祝福加持，並為我們在死後的中陰中解脫做準備。根據《中陰聞教得度》（在金剛乘佛教中被廣泛稱為《西藏度亡經》的一部重要文本），中陰本尊在亡者處於中陰期間的四十九天內向亡者顯現。最初，寂靜本尊出現，如果亡者無法認出並通過這些寂靜本尊獲得解脫，忿怒本尊隨後顯現。如果亡者在這四十九天期間無法與本尊建立聯繫，他們的意識將被拉回到六道之一中重生。

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.

供養仁波切、贊助閉關
傳統上，受法後弟子會供養上師。由於是網上灌頂，你可以按此供養仁波切或供養法會。
仁波切慈悲，應允部分地區弟子不用繳費便能參加。雖然Dzokden主要由義工運作，但行政、營運成本、網上平台、通訊軟件、海外運送物資等花費與日俱增，如果你經濟上行有餘力，想為Dzokden出一分力，請考慮供養，供養悉隨專便，但請不要對自己的生活造成負擔和壓力。

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.

夏．堪祖仁波切將講解女性智慧，以及其在密宗修行上的運用。他將授予紅辯才天灌頂（是次為 Wang，即完整的灌頂，並非隨許），她是文殊師利菩薩的明妃、智慧之女性化身。此灌頂由覺囊派多羅那他尊者傳出。大部分派別所傳的密續都是源自尊者，因為多羅那他尊者是密續的寶庫。
仁波切的開示著重應用女性智慧於修行上，從而以欲為道，處理情緒。我們無需放棄現世的挑戰，應直接去面對，將其轉化為解脫之道。
紅辯才天
佛教徒和非佛教徒都禮拜祂。在吠陀傳統中，梵天創造了世界，但過了一段長時間，仍沒有任何聲音或有情眾生。許多神祇來到梵天的面前說 : 「祢創造了世界，但沒有眾生和聲音。」梵天於是揮動水瓶，潑出淨水，產生了微妙的聲音，這就是辯才天。因此，衪被稱為梵天的女兒。這是源自印度教的說法，而藏民心中，祂有許多不同的形態，一般都是白色二臂的，而是次灌頂所傳的是四臂的密乘形態，具有強大的力量和懷攝的能力。
辯才天是一位智慧女神，如文殊師利菩薩一樣。許多偉大的修行者都認為祂是文殊師利菩薩的密印。尤其是論師或學者，通常會禮拜辯才天，而不是文殊師利菩薩。
包括：
– 紅辯才天灌頂
– 口傳儀軌
– 開示關於女性的神聖本質

“Most followers of the Tibetan tantric Buddhist teachings are merely wearing an outer costume of tantra.”
– (Khentrul Rinpoché)
We are delighted to announce that Rinpoché will give us teachings on tantric Samaya to help anyone who is genuinely interested in following the path of Vajrayana or who has been on the path and needs further clarification. He will bestow a blessing ceremony of the 6 Buddha Families of Kalachakra, and address crucial questions of both new and veteran practitioners.
What is tantric practice really about? How can we work with our emotions on the Tantric path without getting lost in them? How do the different levels of Buddhist paths relate to each other? Why does one need an authentic Guru to learn Tantra genuinely? What is Samaya that is had with the Guru on the path?
Preconceptions and misunderstandings about tantra have spread everywhere. Both in Western countries, as well as Asian countries where these teachings originated. Lost amidst extreme views and with a lack of proper clarification, it is difficult for practitioners to reach the essence of the tantric teachings. Rinpoché will teach about how the different levels of Buddhist teachings and their respective conduct of ethics support each other without contradiction. He will explain the varying degrees of tantric practice and what one should do to truly focus on tantra.
For Rinpoché, there is no doubt that different types of persons, including lay devotees, monastics, and non-religious ones, have the potential to learn the essence of tantric practice. This is because the tantric approach is closely aligned with our existing nature.
“In the tantric path, nothing that is naturally present in our mind needs to be eliminated. Instead, we learn means for putting these mental phenomena to work for us. When all these phenomena are subjugated by the brilliance of pure and true reality, they become our friends.”
-(Khentrul Rinpoché)
In the view of tantra, the pure aspects of our afflictive emotions are connected to specific 6 Buddha Families. To strengthen this awareness and for the continued support of participants’ practice after the event, Rinpoché will bestow a Blessing Ceremony of the Six Buddha Families.
For the Q&A session, we thoroughly encourage you to gather all your questions that will clarify your understanding of tantra. Do not miss this precious opportunity.
How to Prepare?
There are no prerequisites for these teachings. They are open to all, regardless of your background. This is a good step for those who are preparing to enter into the tantric path. This is also a helpful reminder for those who are already on that journey.
