About the Teacher:
Jhado Rinpoche is one of the most renowned lamas of the Geluk lineage. In addition to his excellent training in the monastic system, over the years Rinpoche has received many oral transmissions and initiations from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his two principal guardians, as well as from many great masters of other traditions, including the Nyingma Master Trulshik Rinpoche and the revered Sakya Master, Chogye Trichen Rinpoche.
Recognized for his keen intelligence , kindness and dynamic teaching style, Rinpoche is also highly regarded for his ability to engage Western students.
Prerequisites and Commitments for the Guhyasamaja, Heruka and Yamantaka Empowerments: It is important to have generated a firm belief in the Buddhist path and to have taken Refuge in the Three Jewels. One must also be determined to enter the path of Supreme Tantra by accepting the resulting vows and the commitment of daily, lifelong recitation of 6 Session Guru Yoga.
It is also strongly recommended that those wishing to attend any of the empowerments attend the first day of the teachings. And in order to attend the Guhyasamaja empowerment participants must necessarily attend the preparation day on the second day.
For those who wish to receive this Empowerment for the first time, it is strongly recommended that they seek and receive advice from their teacher.
Geshe Tsultrim will be offering an explanatory teaching weekend about Highest Yoga Tantra on March 15-16 2025. This will be important for everyone who would like to have a general understanding about Tantra and its practice, and will answer any questions or doubts people may have. https://chenrezig.com.au/upcoming-events/entering-the-tantric-path
