Khentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodrö is the founder and director of Dzokden. Rinpoche is the author of Unveiling Your Sacred Truth 1, 2, and 3, 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).

In part two of this series, Khentrul Rinpoche encourages us to reflect on life rather than simply following others and samsaric values.

By then applying and stabilising knowledge of the Dharma to go beyond custom and culture, we develop greater awareness. When this awareness is accompanied by mindfulness and vigilance, we can bring balance to our negativities, transforming them into beneficial qualities, eliminating our weaknesses and building our strengths.

In this series of six teachings, Khentrul Rinpoche demonstrates how the Buddha Dharma, taught over 2,500 years ago, it is still completely relevant to our modern times.

In this first session, while remaining true to the traditional content of Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche discusses how we can better understand the Four Convictions of Renunciation by expanding our common sense. By increasing our knowledge and awareness of the Dharma, we can learn to improve our view and to challenge our ideas of what it means to live a more meaningful life in this modern world.
