With Phakchok Rinpoche

Wakeful Openness

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

Over three consecutive summers, Rinpoche will grant empowerments for the full mandala, the three kayas, and the twelve manifestations of Padmasambhava, together with essential guidance from Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel, a practice focused on removing the obstacles that prevent us from realizing the true nature of mind.

This is a remarkable opportunity for anyone seeking a deep connection with an authentic lineage. Participants receive the full support and authorization to train in liberating methods that point directly toward enlightenment.

Rinpoche will begin with The Essence of Wakeful Openness, a practice text that provides clear, step-by-step instruction along the tantric path.

He will also open the treasury of the Secret Mother Tantra and bestow the empowerment of 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 carries the essence of Padmasambhava’s instructions with passion, dignity, and love. Through his experience, he meets people on every level and offers guidance on the path of inner transformation.
