Guru Rinpoche Day (10th Day of the 9th Tibetan Month)

Dear Dharma friends,

Today marks the sacred day of Guru Rinpoche (the 10th day of the 9th Tibetan month), which falls within the auspicious month of Lha Bab Düchen, when all virtuous deeds and merits multiply boundlessly.🪷🪷🪷

“The essence of Guru Rinpoche is the same as the essence of Buddha Shakyamuni. In Sutrayana there’s Buddha Shakyamuni. In Tantrayana there’s [Buddha] Padmasambhava. But in fact they’re the same. Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava, is from the Lotus Family. I’d like to say Amitabha, Green Tara, Avaloskitesvara are also from the same family, Lotus Family. So we can say that Guru Rinpoche is the embodiment of the Buddhas in the 10 directions and three times. Therefore, actually it is enough for one person to just practice Guru Rinpoche.”
