Join us for a special evening with Shar Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö, a renowned Tibetan Buddhist master and scholar of the Kalachakra Tantra, at the historic St. Paul’s Chapel. In this sacred and contemplative space—just steps away from Ground Zero and on the cusp of the September 11th anniversary—Rinpoche will guide participants through an evening of teaching, meditation, and interfaith reflection.
Rinpoche will offer a brief teaching on the Kalachakra vision of the Golden Age—a time of harmony, wisdom, and compassion—and explore how we might embody and cultivate this vision in the complexities of today’s world. Through dialogue and inner practice, this gathering welcomes people of all spiritual backgrounds to uncover shared values and deepen a collective aspiration for peace and transformation.
No prior experience with meditation or Buddhism is required. All are welcome—come with an open heart and a spirit of inquiry.

About Dzokden

Dzokden’s mission is to make these profound teachings accessible across cultures and belief systems. Through public talks, books, retreats, and translations, Rinpoche and the Dzokden community work to plant seeds of a “Golden Age”: a future where spiritual insight and social responsibility move together.
