For the first time in Europe, the yogi Phakchok Rinpoche offers a rare and complete transmission: the empowerment and meditation instructions from the treasury of Buddha Padmasambhava’s heart.

Each summer over three years, Rinpoche will bestow empowerments for the entire mandala, the three kayas and the twelve manifestations of Padmasambhava, together with essential guidance from Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel, which focuses on removing obstacles to realizing our true nature of mind.

This is an extraordinary opportunity for those who wish to connect deeply with an authentic lineage. Participants receive the full support and authorization to train in liberating methods that lead directly to enlightenment.

Rinpoche begins by teaching The Essence of Wakeful Openness, a practice text that offers step-by-step guidance along the tantric path.

In addition, Rinpoche will open the treasury of the Secret Mother Tantra and confer the empowerment of the Red Avalokiteshvara. Phakchok Rinpoche received this lineage from Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and his father, Chokling Rinpoche.

The empowerments of Barchey Kunsel include:

  • Amitayus, the Buddha of infinite life and awareness
  • Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of compassion
  • Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born and guru of our time
  • Gyalwey Dungdzin, the liberated yogi
  • Mawey Senge, a swift path to deep understanding and eloquence
  • Lama Norlha, the method for generosity and prosperity
  • Dukyi Shechen, cutting through misguided attitudes and aims

Phakchok Rinpoche is a master who embodies the core of Padmasambhava instructions with passion, dignity and love. With his experience he connects with people on all levels, and guides on the path to inner transformation.
