Khentrul RinpochéJonang Kalachakra & Rimé MasterClick on the arrow above to offer Dana to Khentrul Rinpoche
Khentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and director of Dzokden. Rinpoche is the author of Unveiling Your Sacred Truth 1, 2, and 3, The Great Middle Way: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness, A Happier Life, and The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path.
Rinpoche 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. Kalachakra (wheel of time) teachings contain profound methods to harmonize our external environment with the inner world of body and mind, ultimately bringing about the golden age of Peace and Harmony (Dzokden).

LAND OF SHAMBHALA CONSECRATION
H.E. Kathog Rigzin Chenpo will bless the Land of Shambhala with Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö. They will make offering to the Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Deities, Dakas, Dakinis, Nagas and all the Local Deities and Dharma protectors to help bring harmony to the land and make the space holy. This precious process helps create the causes and conditions for us to use the space to build Holy Objects. We wish to begin building of the Wish-fulfilling Stupa on the hill. May this create the conditions for the land to flourish. Khentrul Rinpoche’s vision for Land of Shambhala is to create a space for the complete Kalachakra teachings to be held, integrated and transmitted for people of all the wisdom traditions of the world to benefit. May this bring about a Golden Age of Peace and Harmony.
MEDICINE MANDALA CONSECRATION
At Land of Shambhala we have been working to construct Sudarshana, the city where the Medicine Buddha first taught the Medicine. The herb garden is in the shape of the Medicine Buddha Mandala surrounded on all sides by magical trees including a Bodhi tree. Inside the Mandala are 4 gates with 16 prayer wheels filled with the mantras of the Medicine Buddha guarded by 16 dragons. In the outer ring of the Mandala will be the 6 additional Medicine Buddha’s according to Dolpopa’s text and 2 Taras linked to healing. In the center, is a precious Medicine Fountain filled with the healing water of Lama Lobsang Trinle a manifestation of Vajrapani and the Medicine Buddha. The Vietnamese community have donated a Medicine Buddha sculpture made of Blue marble.
Consecration is an incredible important step for any holy object. It is when the Gurus embodied as the Buddha invite the essence of the Buddha to come forth in the object for the benefit of beings.
Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö has invited one of his favorite and highly respect masters, H.E. Kathog Rigzin Chenpo to consecrate the statues and the space.
H.E. Kathog Rigzin Chenpo learned Tibetan medicine and about the healing qualities of herbs from Khamtsang Rinpoche who was also a Tibetan Doctor. Rinpoche spent many years in his youth searching the mountains for medicinal herbs. He taught him the Medicine Buddha Tantra text and how to understand Coded text and prophecies. He also studied Geography, Feng Shui, Medicine and Astrology from Thubten Norbu Rinpoche.
