One morning of the 11th day of the 8th month of Tibetan calendar, when we visit some families of Gotsa lineage living around our monastery, we celebrate those who reach the age of 80 and auspicious 100th-birthday of a lady of the Ra family, Dondrub Drolma.
The Great Stupa was built in 1997 by our beloved, kind guru Lamasang, in fulfillment of the prophesies of Vajrapani, Guru Rinpoche and many other enlightened ones. Lamasang’s building of the Great Stupa preserves the teachings and brings peace and prosperity for everyone in the human world.
The covid virus is so so powerful due to the bad karma of humans. The powers of Buddhas and bodhisattvas are inconceivable but heavy karma of humanity is also very very strong so we still need to be very careful to avoid from getting the Covid although we practice Dharma as protection. Of course, there is no ensure even though you practice profound dharma practices due to not enough pure view and not enough recitations and so on.
Tashi Delek! Dear everyone. I hope everyone is doing good. And this is so-called Saka Dawa or Vaisakhi. A very important month, very important Dharma day because our great Teacher, Compassionate Buddha Shakyamuni was born, reached Buddhahood and went to Nirvana. So this becomes very important month for us as Buddhist practitioners.
Hungkar Dorje Rinpoche of Lungon Monastery is a lover of the nature – He is always interested in protecting the natural environment. In recent years, more than 10,000 trees have been planted in the Monastery and in the surrounding mountains. The work of maintaining and protecting trees is also maintained continuously every year.
Achievements, fame and fortune are like ripples on water,
One follows the next, follows the next, follows the next…
In times of good fortune, we proclaim ourselves KI CHO when ascending a throne.
In times of misery, we can’t believe our misfortune when we are being stepped on.
Our practice of Vajrapani has a lot of power. It has a lot of blessing. So we can purify oneself on and purify others, too. And we can dedicate merit for others so that this problem will end soon. Because Buddha’s Dharma has a lot of incredible power and blessing so we can help other human beings as well.
It is a very good idea to practice that specific Vajrapani practice – treasure from Lama Sang. I think a lot of people know about Lama Sang, the treasure revealer of this Vajrapani [practice]. Lama Sang was emanation of Vajrapani, of Guru Rinpoche, of Lhalung Palgyi Dorje – one of the 25 disciples of Guru Rinpoche.
The main thing we do on this day is to remember the kindness and the meaning of the teachings by remembering the profound wisdom of Long Chenpa. Also, remember to pray for success in following his instructions and his steps to the most profound awareness, the Buddha nature.
