It is a special set of instructions that includes all the essential teachings of Lord Buddha, structuring them in such a way as to facilitate comprehension and practice. <BR><BR>The first of this genre of Buddhist treatise was  The Lamp of the Path to Enlightenment , composed by the great Indian Buddhist Master Atisha, an extraordinary scholar, teacher and meditator who was invited to Tibet by King Jangchub Wö in AD 1042. He played a leading role in the renewal of Buddhism in Tibet and his main Tibetan disciple, Dromtönba founded the Kadampa School of Buddhism which later evolved into The Gelugpa School. <BR><BR>Lord Atisha s Lamrim teachings have been passed down in an unbroken line from master to disciple until today. Venerable Dagpo Lama Rinpoche has received virtually all the transmissions of the Lamrim lineages extant today. He is a renowned and highly skilled teacher of these precious instructions. <BR><BR>We are extremely fortunate to have the privilege of hearing them from him for they can be readily used in solving the problems of daily life. Moreover, if we gain genuine realizations of the spiritual qualities taught in the Lamrim, we shall be able to resolve our problems definitively, achieve true inner peace and be transformed into people capable of helping countless living beings. <BR><BR>For this, we must first understand the benefits of the Lamrim, and develop a strong desire to practice it. Then by joyfully and patiently meditating according to the explanations given in these works, we will gradually experience the fruits of our Lamrim practice. Eventually we shall attain freedom from all suffering and the unchanging peace and happiness of enlightenment. <BR><BR>Thank you.<BR><BR>Yours truly,<BR><BR>KTCL committee<BR></P></DIV></DIV></TD> <TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: right; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(135,24,26); COLOR: rgb(223,210,187); FONT-SIZE: 16px"> <P align=center><FONT color=#ffffff size=2>For other events happening at KTCL, please visit <A title=http://www.ktcl.org.my/ href="http://www.ktcl.org.my/"><U>www.ktcl.org.my</U></A> </FONT></P></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,153,0)"> <P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 8pt" align=center>Your e-mail address is in our mailing list by virtue of you being a past workshop participant, a patron, a customer, a visitor, or by your specific request.

This text has become the basis for almost every subsequent Vajrayogini commentary in the Gelug tradition. Kyabje Pabongkha s commentary is both very thorough in its presentation and deeply inspiring. It provides rich detail about all eleven yogas of the generation stage, the transference of consciousness, tsok offering, left-sided conduct and many other auxiliary practices, making it essential for practitioners of Vajrayogini. There is also a stunning explanation of the completion stage, providing many extraordinarily profound methods unique to the practice of Vajrayogini because of its relationship to the Six Yogas of Naropa. <BR> <BR> The second half of the book contains several sadhanas for the practice of Vajrayogini, including the extensive, middling, and concise generation stage, the practice of Vajrayogini combined with six-session guru yoga, as well as two sadhanas on the transference of consciousness.<BR> <BR> Pabongkha Dechen Nyingpo (1874-1941) was a towering figure in the twentieth-century Gelug tradition; he was the root lama of Trijang Rinpoche as well as most of the Gelug teachers of the following two generations.

The Gelugpa s current nectar pills originate from there.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">It is also stated that this very same cave in Cimburi where Pabongka received the nectar from the Heruka image was the place where Heruka promised him the following:-</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: #e0dcaa"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic"> From now on, for the next seven generations, whoever practices my teaching, I will protect and help. </FONT></SPAN></SPAN></STRONG></P></DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Pabongkha Rinpoche has nurtured some of the greatest Masters of Tibet including the late&nbsp;Ling and&nbsp;Trijang Rinpoches, both of whom having served as the Senior and Junior Tutors respectively of His Holiness the present Dalai Lama.&nbsp; Pabongkha Rinpoche shows His&nbsp;inconceivably high&nbsp;realisations&nbsp;of the Dharma through&nbsp;His personal practice, cultivation and&nbsp;bearing&nbsp;and especially through so many of His famed,&nbsp;amazing teachings. He&nbsp;is praised by the current Dalai Lama as "an amazing Master especially of the Lam Rim, the Lo Jong and the Chakrasamvara teachings."&nbsp;His many outstanding disciples themselves are also&nbsp;irrefutable attestants to His stature as a great Lord and Master of the&nbsp;Dharma. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Through His many writings and works,&nbsp;the objective eye cannot fail to be impressed by what&nbsp;appears to be a truly unquestioned authority and master teaching, all of&nbsp;which revealing unprecedented&nbsp;layers and depths, flawlessly&nbsp;inter-woven&nbsp;within elegant, unhindered beauty.</FONT></div> </DIV> <DIV> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">It is said that Pabongka s teachings are so famous that thousands of people would come from far and wide to attend, especially when he gave initiations or conducted special prayers during festivals. Pabongka is well known for using his humour to elucidate the teachings. As some teachings could go on for ten hours, he would intersperse his teachings with jokes and amusing stories laced with moral values to keep his audience  awake .</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">One of Pabongka s great accomplishments was his ability to devise a way to attract and lead his listeners to every level of the Buddha s complex and highly technical teachings. On many occasions, he would address an audience that numbered up to several thousands of people, and yet everyone could hear him clearly. Back in those days, there were no such things as microphones or speakers. His voice was that powerful!</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Pabongka s talks and teachings were known to have always left a profound and immediate effect on the listeners. A story that is worth highlighting is that of Dapon Tsago. He was a member of the nobility and had held a powerful position in the government that is equivalent to the Minister of Defence.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">One day, this great general Dapon marched into the hall where Pabongka Rinpoche was giving a teaching, all decked out in his finest silks and with his long hair flowing in carefully tailored locks. At that time, this was considered the highest of fashion in Tibet. He had hung a great ceremonial sword from his belt and whenever he walked, it would make a loud clanging noise of importance, as if to announce his arrival. However, by the end of the first section of Pabongka s teachings, he was seen leaving the hall quietly, deep in thought. He had even wrapped up his weapon of war in a cloth to hide it, and was taking it home. Later, it was seen that he had actually trimmed off his warrior s locks. Finally, one day, he threw himself before Pabongka Rinpoche and requested for the special lifetime religious vows for laymen. From then on, he was seen to follow Pabongka around to every public teaching that he gave.&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">It is a well-known fact that people from Lhasa came to see Pabongka Rinpoche every day. They even had to queue up. Pabongka s popularity was such that even the Thirteenth Dalai Lama noticed. At that time, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama was very powerful, holding all political, economic, military and spiritual power in his reign. However, Pabongka had thousands and thousands of disciples all over Tibet  from the three great monasteries of Sera, Drepung and Gaden, to the Government Officials, members of the Court and to the several thousands of lay people as well. Almost everybody was Pabongka s disciple. Hence, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama often observed Pabongka Rinpoche closely, but found no faults.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">There was one incident in which Pabongka was summoned by His Holiness to prove that his Southern Lamrim Tradition called, Shargyu, was genuine. Somehow this tradition was not popular in Tibet at that time, and very little was known about it. Therefore, one could not find much proof of its source. It was not written anywhere in the regular texts studied in the monasteries. There were even talks amongst learned scholars of Pabongka introducing a strange system of a Southern tradition that he learnt from an old monk in some village in a corner of Tibet. Hence, people were trying to refute the authenticity of this Southern style Lamrim. In this respect, His Holiness had to do something to intervene and asked Pabongka to provide solid evidence.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">The Southern Lamrim tradition was what Pabongka has studied under Dagpo Rinpoche. Being fiercely devoted to his Root Guru, Pabongka would not tolerate anyone disparaging his Guru s name or even remotely implying that his Guru was wrong in any way. So, Pabongka had to send a letter in reply to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama s questions.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">At first, Pabongka did not think it was so serious. However, upon hearing that without concrete proof, he would have to declare that his newly introduced Southern Lamrim tradition to be a fraud and no one would be allowed to practice it, he was unwilling to risk any injury to his Guru s name. So, Pabongka thought for a while and then said to the Manager of his labrang,  Under these circumstances, I shall reply. I shall dictate and you go ahead and take notes .</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Then Pabongka quoted,  The Buddha said in this sutra and that sutra and in the collected works of the Buddha in volume such and such this is written and right at this moment Your Holiness is sitting in your room and if you look at your back in the third shelf, open that book and read on page 146 at the back side the 6th line, there it says this, this and then, if you look at your left side, on the second shelf, the second volume number, this and this, pull that book out and there it says this, this, this& . </FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Pabongka continued,  This is the proof from the Kanjur and if you read this book by Asanga which is available in Your Holiness s room on such and such a shelf in the outer volume whose colour is this, and the inner book is this, and then, if you look at line this, line that, page number this and this, you will find it. And from the Tibetan tradition, look in the works of your late Master, Purchog Jampa Rinpoche, in volume number four of his collected works, which is in Your Holiness s bedroom on such and such a shelf and the colour of the cloth is this and the page number is that. </FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Pabongka Rinpoche was so precise and confident in pointing out the details for His Holiness to find every piece of evidence to support his Southern Lamrim tradition. This letter was then given to His Holiness s Chamberlain to be delivered into the hands of His Holiness.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">When the Thirteenth Dalai Lama read it, he asked his Chamberlain to take out the exact books and volumes as described by Pabongka in the letter. Everything was proved right. Then His Holiness asked his Chamberlain,  Did you know and tell him I would be in this room? The Chamberlain answered,  No. His Holiness did not comment any further.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">In another incident, while Pabongka Rinpoche was giving a big teaching, he received an order from the Thirteenth Dalai Lama to make rain immediately. So, Rinpoche said to his disciples gathered there at that time that they should say the Lama Chopa. During the recitation of Migstema in the Lama Chopa, Pabongka directed his students in their visualization to create a cloud, and this cloud would in turn shower rain wherever that it was needed. True enough, rain started to fall where it was needed. Then after a while as the rain continued to fall, Pabongka made the rain stop as magically as he made it appear. It was said that on that very day, they got quite a good amount of rain.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Pabongka s unusual ability to teach was not an integral part of Tibetan culture. It is rather at the heart of the living transmission of the teachings of the historical Buddha from one great master to the next. It is, first and foremost, an oral transmission: the master teaches his gifted disciple continuously until the transmitted knowledge becomes the student s second nature.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">Due to Pabongka s skill as a Gelugpa master, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama requested Kyabje Pabongka to give the yearly Lamrim teachings in 1925, instead of asking the Gaden throneholder (Gaden Tripa) as was customary. Usually the teachings lasted seven days, but these lasted for eleven days.</FONT></P> <P align="justify"><FONT color=#000040 face="Century Gothic">These were some of Pabongka Rinpoche s many amazing qualities.</FONT></P></DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT face="Century Gothic">This towering figure is unfortunately marred by His association with the dangerous spirit Shugden. According to Denma Locho Rinpoche, Pabongkha Rinpoche is able to "control" Shugden and to exhort Shugden to enact various activities to serve the Dharma. Rinpoche added that, for ordinary people lke ourselves to attempt to relate to Shugden on Pabongkha Rinpoche's level is impossible. &nbsp;</FONT></div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT face="Century Gothic">However,&nbsp;</FONT><FONT face="Century Gothic">f</FONT><FONT face="Century Gothic">ollowing a request by the&nbsp;Shugden oracle itself to compose a "Life Entrustment" text for it, Pabogkha obliged with a&nbsp;text and there were references in it&nbsp;to Shugden as an Enlightened Being -&nbsp;Lord Manjushri. From what we learnt from Geshe Ngawang Topden, a senior teacher at Namgyal Monastery, flowery poetics as such are a Tibetan token and are not meant to be equated with factual assertions. This however acts as a supposed "scriptural"&nbsp;basis by His latter disciples for&nbsp;hard-headed insistence of their supposed&nbsp;infallible&nbsp;position of refuge&nbsp;in Shugden as their supplanted icon of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. </FONT></div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT face="Century Gothic">In spite of His myriad&nbsp;illustrious Dharmic expressions, this constitute a&nbsp;"mistake", according to His Holiness the current Dalai Lama. </FONT></div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><FONT face="Century Gothic">This was pointed out to Pabongkha&nbsp;by the 13th Dalai Lama and He&nbsp;subsequently, "officially"&nbsp;renounced Shugden: "... I have propitiated Shugden until now because my old mother told me that Shugden is the deity of my maternal lineage. I wish to inform you that henceforth, with intense regret (for what is past) and (with the intention of) restraining my faults (in the future), I will never again propitiate (Shugden) or make daily offerings and supporting prayers and that I will wholeheartedly keep this commitment in the core of my heart. Whatever mistakes I have committed until now, such as having become a cause for the mental displeasure of the Great Nechung Choegyal, contradicting the precepts of taking refuge and so forth, I request you, the supreme protector, who is especially compassionate to the lowly, to regard me with love and great compassion and patiently to forgive me."

From&nbsp;disciples of Pabongkha who have met&nbsp;Him personally and&nbsp;received teachings from Him&nbsp;such as the late&nbsp;Sharpa Choje Lobsang Nyima, they expressed incredulous shock when we&nbsp;asked&nbsp;how&nbsp;an amazing Master like Pabongkha Rinpoche could&nbsp;supposedly incite violent sectarian attacks. According to the late Sharpa Choje, Pabongkha Rinpoche "did absolutely no such things".&nbsp;The Sharpa Choje continued, to them in&nbsp;the great monastic universities, Pabongkha Rinpoche has only taught the purest Dharma and has taught them only to have&nbsp;the sincerest veneration for all traditions of the Dharma&nbsp;and it was only when they were outside of Tibet that they have heard of&nbsp;claims and stories of Pabongkha Rinpoche's alleged sectarainism. For all His&nbsp;personal disciples, they could only shrug away claims as such as impossibilities having&nbsp;been personal disciples and studied&nbsp;at the feet of&nbsp;Pabongkha Rinpoche and knowing Rinpoche and His teachings&nbsp;personally.&nbsp;For disciples who personally had contacts with Rinpoche, sectarian talks and attacks attributed to Pabongkha Rinpoche simply could not be true as Rinpoche was never and could never be anything near so sacrilegious&nbsp;a matter. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><font face="Century Gothic">&nbsp;</font></div> </DIV> <DIV> <div align="justify"><font face="Century Gothic">In "Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand", Pabongkha Rinpoche wrote, "Abandoning Dharma is, in the final analysis, disparaging the Hinayana because of the Mahayana; favoring the Hinayana on account of the Mahayana; playing off sutra against tantra; playing off the four classes of the tantras against each other; favoring one of the Tibetan schools the Sakya, Gelug, Kagyu, or Nyingma and disparaging the rest; and so on.
