SUMMARY:Innate Kalachakra Practice Retreat De
DESCRIPTION:Innate Kalachakra Teachings with KHENTRUL RINPOCHE\nPractice Sessions lead by senior students\nonline and in-person\nABOUT THE  RETREAT\nPeople are always chasing the idea of self or getting to know the self but can not recognize the innate true nature that is already present. This practice closes the gap more between who we think we are and who we really are. Our goal is to shift our sense of identity from the illusory self that is projected by ignorance, to a conceptual self that arises from wisdom, therefore bringing us closer to our Buddha-nature.\nThis retreat is an opportunity to strengthen awareness and cultivate confidence in our own inherent divine nature through the authentic lineage of Tibetan Buddhism of the Jonangpas. There are several skillful means you will have a chance to work with within the Kalachakra Sadhanas, Kalachakra-Tsok, Guru-Puja and ordinary activities, in order to unveil the Innate Kalachakra.\nFor those who have just received the Kalachakra Empowerment or are working on their Ngöndro, this is an ideal opportunity to learn how to put it into practice and to expand enormously the accumulation of merit and wisdom. For those who have been practicing it previously, it is a precious opportunity to realize the power of practicing together with our vajra brothers and sisters.\nKhentrul Rinpoche will teach remotely from Australia. Practice sessions will be lead by Senior Students at the Kalapa Retreat Center and will be streamed live as well.\nWHO IS THIS FOR\nAll those who sincerely wish to practice Kalachakra and have received the Kalachakra Empowerment/Initiation (Wang) or the Innate Kalachakra Jenang from Shar Khentrul Rinpoché, Choekyi Nangwa Rinpoché, HH the Dalai Lama, Jhado Rinpoché or any other Vajra Master of an authentic lineage, regardless of their school of practice. \nThe Kalachakra Empowerment is preferred but, alternatively, anyone who has received an authentic Unsurpassed Yoga Tantra Empowerment and practiced extensively already in their tradition may take part as well. It is still best to receive that in the Kalachakra system in order to create the best conditions for success. In case of doubt, write to office@kalapa.org\nAn oral transmission (lung) of the Kalachakra Sadhanas is not required.\nWHAT ARE THE BENEFITS\nFamiliarize your mind with Innate Kalachakra to strengthen your connection to your Buddha-nature in the supportive environment of sangha for the benefit of all beings. \nLANGUAGE\nEnglish with live translations to Romanian, Hungarian, Italian, French, Spanish, Mongolian, German und Vietnamese. More languages are possible but still to be determined. \nRECORDINGS\nAll sessions will be recorded and can be accessed afterwards in our online learning center. We encourage you to take part in as many live sessions as possible, but, if your time zone is not compatible, you can listen to them later. \nHOW TO PREPARE MYSELF FOR THIS RETREAT\nIf you are new to the teachings of Shar Khentrul Rinpoche or to the Jonang School of Tibetan Buddhism, we encourage you, if possible, to read Rinpoche’s Book on the Kalachakra Practice “The Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path” or some of his “Unveiling Your Sacred Truth” series. In our learning center it is also possible to take part in the Kalachakra Ngöndro Course, which can help you familiarize yourself with the lineage and with Rinpoche’s extraordinary approach to the Preliminary Practices. \n“The Profound Path of Vajra Yoga” is recommended as a support for your practice during the retreat.\nREGISTRATION with DONATIONS for the Suchandra Institute and the Kalachakra Kalapa Center\n300 € Retreat Sponsor (with this donation will help establish the conditions for the retreat to take place; it is also a suggested donation for an individual room for in-person attendance)\n200 € Sangha Supporter (with this donation you support another practitioner who needs a reduced registration; this level is also the suggested donation for in-person attendance)\n150 € Suggested Donation (for online participation)\n75 € Reduced Registration (for those with a limited income)\n25 € Scholarship Registration (for those from South America or those with very limited income)\nPlease email office@dzokden.org to discuss a lower offering amount or a full scholarship.
