Venerable Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche: Kalachakra Empowerment. At vajrapani institute 2004.
In this 4 DVD set the great Tibetan Buddhist Lama, Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche bestows the Kalachakra empowerment, a rite of initiation into the highest yoga tantra class, the anuttarayogatantra. The word Kalachakra meaning “Wheel of Time”, refers to the unique presentation of cycles of time within the Kalachakra Tantra. This understanding of time is used in the Kalachakra as a basis for a system for the attainment of enlightenment. Tibetan and English provided, translated by Ven Yeshe Gyatso. Empowerment bestowed at Vajrapani Institute, 2004. Produced by Land of Medicine Buddha Media Lab
As these are normally secret and sacred rituals people wishing to purchase this DVD set need to have respect for Tantric Buddhism.
Note:Watching the empowerment on DVD does not bestow the empowerment on the person watching the DVD. One will not be taking the vows or be authorized to engage in the tantric sadhana practice. This DVD was made to record for posterity a true master giving a pure empowerment, to dispel misconceptions about these practices, to deepen students’ understanding of empowerments, to give imprints so that viewers may receive the actual empowerment in the future, and so advanced students may see how the ritual should be performed.
