“Amulet Mahamudra” is the name given to the Shangpa lineage’s Mahamudra tradition. The name comes from Kyungpo Naljor, who brought the teachings of Niguma and Sukhasiddhi from India to Tibet in the 12th century. He valued these Mahamudra teachings so highly that he constantly carried them in a sandalwood amulet box around his neck.

Kalu Rinpoche will give teachings on this nature of mind instruction, as well as guided practice. He will teach from both the root text and his own direct experience.

It is a rare opportunity for KSC students to receive this treasured guidance. To assure that all may attend the teachings, Rinpoche has kindly agreed that the teachings can be experienced either in person or online. In- person attendees must be fully vaccinated and agree to abide by COVID precautions.

Four Tantric Deities is a meditation in the Vajrayana tradition, utilizing liturgy, visualization and mantra recitation for a Guru Yoga practice. Its purpose is to dispel obstacles, cleanse the mindstream and increase compassion for all beings, and is suitable for any student to learn.

Sukhasiddhi Long Life practice is also a meditation in the Vajrayana tradition, with the purpose of strengthening life force and increasing compassion for all beings. It is also suitable for all students.

Kalu Rinpoche will offer teachings on both practices on Saturday, and give the empowerments (with practice session and tsok food offering) on Sunday. These practices are strongly associated with Kagyu Sukha Chöling, and it is a great honor to have Rinpoche renew his connection with this center through these meditations.

Due to COVID concerns, there was limited capacity for these events.
