 Dearest Friends @ CAS,
The Very Best of all Wishes
for the New Year to all our Friends .....!!
2007 saw one of
CAS's most fruitful years with the bestowal by some of the most
distinguished Masters, some of the most precious cycles of the
Buddha's Teachings including the Three Innermost Cycles of the
Dudjom Tersar, the Longchen Nyingthig, the Highest Yoga Tantra
with the more than a hundred Body Mandala deities of holy
Green Tara -- the Jewel-Heart, the Five-Fold Mahamudra transmissions,
the Thirteen Golden Dharma ......
"The Buddhas rejoice !!"

Blessings
for 2008
 Sweet
Blessings; Sweet Goodness ( !! )
Grand
Master Hsing Yun of Fo Guang Shan always teaches thus:
"Where there
is Dharma, there is a way !!"

CAS's
Teacher, Most Venerable Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche has the following
advice for all His students in 2008:
"I have nothing
special to say......
But students
should always practise the Dharma. Practise the Dharma.
All the students
should generate Bodhicitta, have Bodhicitta !! ( Rinpoche
laughs ).
Also, do the
mantra of White Tara. Even without White Tara initiation, students
can also do the mantra.This is for long-life and good luck.
I will come
around August this year.
My blessings
and prayers to all of you in the society."
-- Most Venerable Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche in
tele-advice-
* The mantra of White Tara:
- "OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MAMA AYUR PUNYE JANA PUSHTIM KURUYE
SOHA" ( long mantra )
- "OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA" ( short mantra )

An interview with Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche
____________
The Shurang-Gama Sutra
( "Leng Yen Jing" )
"Dedicating our bodies
and hearts to the world --
is what, then, appropriately,
known as repaying the debt of great kindness to the Buddha
........ !!"
"For
the Dharma, for all beings, willingly, joyfully, we shall patiently
accept all."
( Grand Master Hsing Yun )
May holy Mother
Tara bless us that we keep these in mind and to live
by these.
