study & PRACTICE
jonang kĀlachakra
We specialize in offering the complete Jonang Kālachakra Tantric path from the beginning stages through the Kālachakra-Ngondro and the Completion Stage of the profound Vajra Yogas of Kālachakra. Anyone with a genuine interest and effort can practice this path.
Jonang Ngondro Program
Open to Anyone
For students exploring or working on the Kālachakra-Ngondro, this is a great opportunity to flexibly learn to work with the Ngondro practice according to the precious Jonang Tradition.
4 Higher Empowerments
By Application to Shar Khentrul Rinpoche
For meditators who wish to go deeper in their practice and are devoted to this path, Lama, and lineage, you can apply to receive the Higher Empowerment from Rinpoche. This will allow you to engage in the Three Isolations (“Wensum”) darkness meditation.
Completion Stage
To Dedicated Approved Students
The most detailed and profound completion stage is the 6 Vajra Yogas of Kālachakra. They work in an experiential way for you to directly realize the Zhentong-view of emptiness and unveil your own true nature. These advanced practices work with the subtle body to attain direct perception of reality as it truly is.
Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö & the Jonang Lineage
