Chenrezig,
THE
HAPPPIEST OF ALL GREETINGS & WISHES
FROM
ALL OF US FOR THE
CHINESE
AND TIBETAN NEW YEAR !!
____________
To Date:
To keep all friends
updated, the mantra-prayer accumulation dedicated for HH the Dalai
Lama's long-life and holy activities this year [ His Holiness's
super obstacle year according to almost-always accurate Tibetan
astrological heads ] stands at more than 22 million mantras of
mostly Green Taras, Guru Padmasambhavas, the Wrathful
Gurus cycles, the holy Chenrezigs and many many other such holy
mantras --
Included are
also a few thousand Tara Pujas, the students' daily commitment
practices: Yamantakas, Hevajras, Vajrayoginis, Herukas, Guhyasamajas,
Chenrezigs, Taras, Wrathful Gurus, etc etc --
____________
Hey hey......
Included amongst their
"prayer-pledges" are also many prayer requests and dedications
to send to His Holiness....
____________
A
Happy Aside.......
Very happily, too, all
the two thousand five hundred monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery
will also be offering on the average 500,000 Green Tara mantras
in conjunction with the bestowal of the holy Cittamani Green Tara
Programme of their Abbot - Loseling Khen Rinpoche, Gen Lobsang
Gyatso in Singapore last month, dedicated to the long-life and
holy works of HH the Dalai Lama, the 100th Ganden Trisur,
Gen Wangchen-la, Khen Rinpoche Himself and all and every
holy Masters --
Pardon the number-frenzy-
Blessed indeed too
are all the 40 students who managed to register on time for the
Cittamani Tara Programme with Loseling Khen Rinpoche from which inspired
this !!
( We couldn't take
so many more aspiring students given the tight conditions at Camden
Education Center & we really couldn't find any other bigger
venues at the last minute !! )
FOR STUDENTS WHOM WE
COULD NOT TAKE, PLEASE REJOICE SO THAT YOU COULD GET THE SAME
MERIT OR MORE !!
SEE ALSO BELOW:
Therefore
,this time, "A Last Call......"
To allow as many of our
friends to join in our little offering to His Holiness ( so that
we can accumulate as much merit for attainment of Buddhahood for
good of the world !! ), we will keep our "hot-line" open till
1 March 2007, twelve mid-night.
Prayer accumulations
as such is supposed to yield for the individual mantra-mumbler
......oops..
Also,
we usually do not hurl mantras at Dharamsala unless there appear
some worthy causes, you know ..... so, hurl your mantras while
you can !!
All regards to all
in the meantime !!

![]() When
HH the Dalai Lama a little later visited New York a second time,
Dezhung Rinpoche ** was one of the first to greet him when he
got off the air plane..... leaving all his students behind, limping
along with his cane and ceremonial scarf, he managed to hobble
his way through security and was standing there waiting when the
door of the plane opened. He later told some of his Jetsun Sakya
students that when he had seen the Dalai Lama setting foot on
American soil, he had not seen the Dalai Lama at all, but
Chenrezig, and that ten thousand tiny hairs had stood straight
up on his neck.
- Extracted from "A Saint in Seattle",
a biography of the great Dezhung Rinpoche
** His Eminence
Dezhung Rinpoche was one of the Root Teachers of the present Sakya
Trizin, the late Chogye Trichen and had passed major transmissions
and empowerments to the 16th Karmapa, Dilgo Khyentse, Dudjom and Kalu Rinpoches
as well as most of the greatest masters of Tibetan Buddhism.
