Khentrul Rinpoché: Rituals of Empowerment

The tantric ritual of initiation, referred to as an “empowerment” in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, reveals the depth and sophistication behind this truism. Khentrul Rinpoché is one of the few masters to teach the highly complex Kalachakra from the Jonang tradition. In this session at the Rubin Museum, Rinpoché explains the role of empowerment rituals to awaken in the student the capacity for primordial wisdom.
