“If you recite sixty million mantras with a mala made of red sandalwood. You will become the wheel-turning King of the six realms and tame all sentient beings.” – Kurukullā Tantra
About KuruKulla
Kurukulla, the powerful Dakini and emanation of Red Tara, is the “cause of wisdom” and the embodiment of enlightened feminine energy. Her unique ability to magnetize wisdom, wealth, health, and success makes her a revered figure across traditions.
This semi-wrathful goddess is known for her transformative power to subdue negative forces while attracting blessings. Kurukulla’s vibrant red energy symbolizes her dynamic force, capable of drawing positive resources and dispelling obstacles.
Invoke her to enhance spiritual growth, protect against misfortune, and manifest abundance. Through her practices—ranging from divination and amulets to controlling negative forces—Kurukulla empowers you to magnetize your desires, overcome challenges, and attract prosperity.
Her practice sadhanas are associated with developing many mundane siddhis such as the power to restore site, the power swift feet, power of Invisibility, the power of rejuvenation, the power to levitate, the power to move freely through the earth and the power to have command over the spirits of the underworld.
May KuruKulla, help us magnetize all the desired conditions for the flourishing of the Golden Age in our world, the flourishing of Kalachakra and the enlightenment of all sentient beings.

On this incredibly auspicious full moon day hundreds of years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha in the form of the Yidam Deity appeared in Amravati to turn the wheel of Dharma. On this incredible day marking the month of Nagpa Dawa, at the request of Dharma King Suchandra from Shambhala, the Kalachakra Tantra was taught along with all other forms of tantra from the 4 faces of Kalachakra while the Buddha in the form of a monk simultaneously taught the Heart Sutra on Vulture Peak Mountain. While we do not have the full form of the Tantra that was taught that day, the abridged form of the Tantra that we have now is still the most extensive Tantra in the world. It has incredibly detailed and clear instructions explaining how to work with the external world, and the internal world to reveal the enlightened nature.
This day is very important for our world because it has been prophesied by Buddha Shakyamuni in the form of Kalachakra, that our world will transform into a Golden Age of Global Peace and harmony with the help of the Shambhala Dharma kings. On this day we will increase our connection to the 10th Level Bodhisattva Kings to help us on our Dharma path and remove obstacles so that we may reveal our own sacred truth and manifest a Golden Age on earth for the benefit of all beings.
We will celebrate this year with teachings on Shambhala, along with prayers to Shambhala and obstacle removal with the power of Shambhala Dharma Kings.
The Kalachakra Tsok and various Prayers of Shambhala and the Kalki King Obstacle removing prayer will be recited. Please make sure to have access to the Unrestricted Prayers and text in the learning center.

In honor of Jetsun Taranatha’s Parinrivana, Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow the oral transmission of the Zhentong Nyingpo. In a previous year he gave a commentary on the text which you can find in Learn.dzokden.org.
Jetsun Taranatha was a renowned Tibetan Buddhist scholar, teacher, and master of the Jonang school. He is considered one of the most important figures in the development of Tibetan Buddhism in the 16th and 17th centuries and is best known for his profound contributions to the teachings of emptiness (shunyata) and the nature of mind based on Dolpopa’s Zhentong emptiness. He was a master who had familiarity with all traditions and could write from their doctrinal point of view perfectly. If he wrote a commentary on a Jonang text it reflected no hint of the Nyngma and vice versa.
While a prolific tantric master who wrote many commentaries, empowerments and Sadhanas, he was also known for his poetry. Khentrul Rinpoche will share some of his Dharma poetry in honor of this day.

To say goodbye to the year of the Dragon and welcome in the year of the snake, Khentrul Rinpoche has agreed to bestow the White Dzambhala empowerment and sadhana for Lunar new year. This allows us to work with the power of both the dragon and snake. After we create the conditions for good virtue, wealth and abundance with White Dzambhala, we will offer to the Nagas to help manifest the wealth and abundance in the year of the Serpent. Both of these offerings help to bring material prosperity but even more importantly they help to bring the true wealth of the Dharma.
While in general, the Wealth Yaksha Dzambhala is connected with generosity and Ratnasambhava, each form or color of the deity has a slightly different focus. White Dzambhala is seen as a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Chenrezig. He can eradicate poverty through cleansing negative karma and karmic obstacles while advancing our Bodhicitta aspiration. White Dzambhala brings us the knowledge of ethical discipline and purity. When there is mental clarity, ethics, and wisdom, financial resources can be put to their most effective use. To have financial stability we need purity in our understanding and view of financial resources. We have been working over the years as a community to cultivate a connection with all aspects of Dzambhala and in doing so, refine our ability to magnetize the true wealth, the Dharma to create a Golden Age.
Statues Blessed for Prosperity, Wealth and Abundance
Khentrul Rinpoche will also consecrate and bless Naga Statues and various forms of Dzambhala statues both for offering practices and practitioners home shrines. Those who wish to bring home the conditions for prosperity can pre-order one on Amritasecrets.com If you make the offering and pre-order a Naga statue, please do not keep it in your home shrine near a Garuda. Make sure it is kept away from Garuda.
Special Note for Drolmi Kazug Practioners
If you are a practitioner of the Drolmi Kazug Puja we will also put the Naga practice in your learning center. This is excerpted from the puja and not available for everyone due to restrictions but is available to the practitioners of Drolmi Kazug. Also for those who want to add to your shrine setup, you may consider a Naga statue as we offer to the Nagas every Drolmi Kazug.
How to Prepare?
There are no prerequisites for these teachings.
Prayers of Prosperity for Your Friends and Family
If you would like to make an offering of generosity below in the ticket section to create the conditions for abundance in your life for yourself and your loved ones, you can do so at the check out. Add up to 5 names for you, your friends and family to be added to the dedication at the end of the puja.
