Innate Kālachakra Practice is considered one of the Unique Preliminaries as it is specific to the Jonang-Kālachakra Ngondro system. \nIn this practice, we visualize ourselves in the enlightened form of the two-armed Kālachakra deity, known as Innate Kālachakra. This is the first of the two unique preliminaries for the Six Vajra Yogas according to the Jonang Tradition and is also known as the Generation Stage in Highest Yoga Tantra. We should only engage in this practice if we have previously received a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment, preferably in accordance with the Kālachakra Tradition. \nWhen you “generate yourself” as an enlightened deity, you are not generating a fabricated, make-believe reality, but instead, using an extraordinarily skillful method to bring you closer to the non-dual reality of enlightenment that is your most profound nature. With this method you learn to view the universe as pure and all beings in it as enlightened, even though they may appear to ordinary minds as having many defilements that have not yet been overcome. By seeing through conventional reality and embracing its ultimate nature, you are able to experience all levels of reality with a much clearer and more compassionate view.\nNote regarding pre-requisites: for participating you need to have received a Kālachakra Empowerment / Initiation from any authentic lineage. If you have not, alternatively you need at least to have received one of these other empowerments from Shar Khentrul Rinpoché Rinpoché: Vajravega, Innate Kālachakra, or Viśhvamātā. If you have not received any of these but have received previously another empowerment in Highest Yoga Tantra from any authentic lineage holder and are keeping its commitments and practice, you can also register. If you did not receive any of these at all, you should wait until you have got the necessary prerequisites.\n\n					About the KALACHAKRA NGONDRO PROGRAM\n					About the KALACHAKRA NGONDRO PROGRAM\nThe Kālachakra Ngondro Program is a 2-year long program created for students who want to deepen themselves in the Kālachakra Path in a structured, step-by-step guided process. \nThe Ngondro — also called the “Preliminary Practices” — prepares you to uncover your own Buddha nature. If you want to completely unveil this perfect nature, the Kālachakra Ngondro prepares you for the very subtle and profound yogic practices of the Completion Stage called the ‘Six Vajra Yogas’ of the Kālachakra Tantra. You can benefit by doing the Kālachakra Ngondro even if you do not aspire to engage in serious meditation practices of the Kālachakra Completion Stage in this lifetime. \nShar Khentrul Rinpoché offers a flexible approach to embrace a variety of practitioners because being fixed on only one traditional way may not be a match for everyone. Developing familiarization with the Kālachakra Ngondro practices can be adjusted individually according to your own personal inclination. \nRafa Lobsang Dorje from Kalapa received 2018 Rinpoché’s encouragement to teach the Kālachakra Ngondro.\n				\n\n					General Requirements\n					The program is open to all. There are no formal prerequisites for the previous Modules 1 – 7. (Pre-requisite for Module 8: please read above).\nGenerally speaking, the Kālachakra Ngondro Program is for you if you wish for long-term and regular support in your dharma practice, regardless if you are starting now or if you have been practicing previously. More specifically, modules 1-7 are shaped to help you prepare for receiving the 1st set of Kālachakra Empowerments (“Seven Empowerments of a Growing Child”), also known as the Kālachakra Initiation, and for receiving in the future the “Kālachakra Four Higher Empowerments” if you so aspire. \nWe encourage all participants to get a copy of Shar Khentrul Rinpoché’s books; Unveiling Your Sacred Truth 1-3, The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path, and the Practice Book The Profound Path of Vajra Yoga, as these will be the main references for our program. \nOptionally, in case you are waiting for the module to start, you are encouraged to read Rinpoché’s other books, such as Ocean of Diversity and The Realm of Shambhala.\n				\n\n					Structure of the Modules\n					The program follows the structure of the Kālachakra Path as presented by the Jonang-Kālachakra Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is divided into Outer Preliminaries (2 modules), Inner Preliminaries (5 modules), and Unique Preliminaries (2 modules). \nEach module includes a weekend-webinar of teachings and practice led by an authorized Ngongdro Teacher and by practices guided by other senior students approved by Rinpoché, followed by two group practice sessions of ca. 90 min. each and one Dharma discussion session where questions can be addressed to the Ngondro Teacher and where you can exchange with other participants. The schedule of the weekend-webinar may vary slightly from module to module.\n \n				\n
