Gonkar, know also as White Mahakala, is an body-emanation of the Black Six-armed Mahakala. He embodies pacifying and increasing activity of all Buddhas. Gaining perfect fulfilment of the practice is equivalent to gaining full Buddhahood. On temporal (worldly) level the White Mahakala practice leads to increase in vital power and longevity, merit and wisdom, as well as multiplication of a welfare. That is why Gonkar is known also as Yishin Norbu - Wish-fulfilling Jewel.
The blessing of Gonkar Drubpa - elaborated ritaul of White Mahakala - brings benefit not only to the participants of the puja but also to all who have positive connections with them.
The practice of Gonkar comes from the Shangpa Kagyu tradition. In the Centre the transmission of this sadhana was given by His Eminence Tenga Rinpoche, who has very strong connections with the Shangpa practices. Presently Tenga Rinpoche is a source, from which the Lineage of the Six-Arms Mahakala was transmitted to such great lamas of the young generation, as H. E. Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche or Kalu Rinpoche.
