The Golden Age and Shambhala Fireside Chat with Khentrul Rinpoche & Judith Simmer-Brown
We are very excited to offer this fireside chat between Khentrul Rinpoche and Judith Simmer-Brown in advance of the Kalachakra Empowerment at Shambhala International. The renowned Kalachakra-tantra, the most detailed of Vajrayana literature, speaks about the degenerate age and the coming Golden Age. The Shambhala teachings, said to be the hidden inner teachings of the Kalachakra, envision an enlightened society imbued with harmony, compassion, and warriorship. What are the Shambhala teachings of the Kalachakra, and how do they relate to the terma lineages and visions of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche?

ABOUT KHENTRUL RINPOCHE
Khentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and spiritual director of Dzokden. Rinpoche is the author of Unveiling Your Sacred Truth, 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).

May Jonang Kalacakra bless the world and beyond : ཨོཾ་ཧ་ཀྵ་མ་ལ་ཝ་ར་ཡྃ་སྭཱཧཱ ( from a Tibetan Jonang source )
24 September 2023 00:29:37 UTC.....For all those following Khentrul Jamphel Lodro Rinpoche's programmes ( initiations , retreats etc.) - I want all of you to pester Khentrul Jamphel Lodro Rinpoche - what is the best 21st century Jonang way of fully taking advantage of the coming Annular Solar Eclipse and Partial Lunar Eclipse ....ask Khentrul Jamphel Lodro Rinpoche now .....At least the prana moves more into the central during the eclipse - more powerfully during a Solar Eclipse ....Now instant action !
I have never ever seen anything on zhentong ( Kamtsang or Nyingma) proper from Chogyam Trungpa .
23 September 2023 12:07:03 UTC.........Could Judith-Simmer Brown indicate as to whether or not Chogyam Trungpa actually read and taught Dolpopa's RiChos Ngeton Gyatso because Khenpo Gangshar's zhentong may not be the same as Dolpopas zhentong . Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche has given talks on Khenpo Gangshar's works .
23 September 2023 12:04:58 UTC.........Could Judith-Simmer Brown please indicate in which termas of Chogyam Trungpa were there warnings that Osel Tendzin was going to die from AIDS ? In which Chogyam Trungpa termas were there warnings of sexual abuse ?
Now Naropa University did read Taranatha's Zhentong Nyingpo but I am not sure if the Ringu Tulku translation was ever revised or how Jonang was it ? Or did Ringu Tulku go into the ZhentongUmay gyan and other works mentioned in Taranatha's Zhentong Nyingpo itself ? Or better still why doesn't Naropa University request Khentrul Rinpoche to give an ultra Jonangpa reading of Taranatha's Zhentong Nyingpo ?
The Dolpopa Taranatha Kalacakra Zhentong is QUITE SEPRARATE from Chogyam Trungpa's Shambhala stuff...This I want to make absolutely crystal clear ....Follow Khentrul Jamphel Lodro's Jonang Tibetan tradition if you want the authentic Jonang Sambhala ( instead of Shambhala) Dolpopa Kalcakra stuff.
