Tantra is a rich practice that is particularly suited to
our time where people are heavily engaged in desires and distraction. In
Tibetan Buddhism the tantric path of Vajrayana, the diamond vehicle, engages
directly with desires, emotions and all aspects of waking and sleeping as a
potent force technology personal transformation and rapid awakening. While
tantra does include teachings involving sexuality as a skillful means for
transformation, as everything within our experience can be used on the tantric
path, there is so much more to what tantra means and what it means to live a
tantric life. Get insight from a Kalachakra Tantric master, the highest form of
yoga-tantra in Tibetan buddhism, on how we can live a tantric life to move past
all of our limitations to live radically free realizing our limitless ultimate
nature of great immutable bliss and empty-form.
This will be an evening teaching, Q&A, and discussion.
Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoché spent the first 20
years of his life herding yak and chanting mantras on the plateaus of Tibet.
Inspired by the bodhisattvas, he left his family to study in a variety of
monasteries under the guidance of over twenty-five masters in all the Tibetan
buddhist traditions. Due to his non-sectarian approach, he earned himself the
title of Rimé (unbiased) Master and was identified as the reincarnation of the
famous Kalachakra Master Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. While at the core of his
teachings is the recognition that there is great value in the diversity of all
spiritual traditions found in this world; he focuses on the Jonang-Shambhala
tradition. Thought to be extinct by many Western scholars, he found it held the
most advanced teachings of Kalachakra (wheel of time) containing profound
methods to harmonize our external environment with the inner world of body and
mind.
Since 2014, he has traveled to more than thirty countries
guiding students to realize their own sacred truth of limitless potential
through a clear, systematic step-by-step presentation of the Kalachakra Path to
enlightenment. By teaching people how to cultivate a flexible mind and remove
bias, Khentrul Rinpoché aspires to create compassion-based communities,
transforming this world into a golden age of global peace and harmony.
