SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRAYERS FOR VEN.THRANGU RINPOCHE

Below is a special announcement from the Kagyu Monlam Organizing Committee, regarding prayers for our beloved Thrangu Rinpoche, as well as Tenga Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche.

From the Kagyu Monlam Organizing Committee:

Kyabje Thrangu Rinpoche, Vajra Master Tenga Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyatso, due to the exemplary lives they have led, have each reached an advanced age and still remain for the sake of the Buddhadharma and sentient beings. With the aim of praising the greatness of their lives and qualities, exhorting them to continuously turn the wheel of Dharma, and completely fulfilling their greatly compassionate wishes, on the morning of December 22nd, the eighth day of the Twenty-Eighth Kagyu Monlam in Bodhgaya, the vast gathering of sangha headed by the Gyalwang Karmapa and his heart disciples will perform the practice of Prostrations and Offering to the Sixteen Elders and offer the three Rinpoches a special long-life puja that combines sutra and tantra. His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa will further bestow upon each of them a certificate of encomium.

His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa has issued the following instructions:

All those connected to the three Rinpoches all over the world, from east to west—including monasteries, Dharma centers and disciples who have relationships of Dharma and of samaya—are requested to participate on that day {December 22nd, 2010 at 6:00-8:30 am (India time)} from wherever they may be, however near or far, by performing the Prostrations and Offering to the Sixteen Elders while supplicating with intense longing. Those who are unable to do so are asked to recite the short or long dharani mantra of Amitayus for long life, engage in Vajrasattva recitation to remove any stains to their samaya, and to perform the Padmasambhava supplication to remove obstacles. In addition, with wholesome devotion, they should accumulate recitations of the prayers that already exist for the long life of the three Rinpoches, as well as the long-life prayers that have been specially composed for the occasion this year by the heart disciples who are lords of refuge..

HH The 17th Karmapa's speech on the celebration of 900 years birthday anniversary of The First Karmapa Dusum Khenpa

མཁན་པོ་མཆོག་ནས་བཤད་གྲྭའི་བཙུན་མ་རྣམས་ལ་བཀའ་ཆོས་གནང་བཞིན་པ། Khenpo Chonyi starts giving teachings to Shedra Nuns



On 7th of December, 2010, Khenpo Chonyi Rangdrol started his first teachings to nuns at Thrangu Tara Abbey. Khenpo taught four immeasurable thoughts. The best way of cultivating wholesome attitudes towards all sentient beings is through meditation. Among the many topics of meditation taught by the Buddha, there are four specifically concerned with the cultivation of loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy and equanimity. These four are called the Four Immeasurable because they are directed to an immeasurable number of sentient beings, and because the wholesome karma produced through practising them is immeasurable.
By cultivating the wholesome attitudes of loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy and equanimity, people can gradually remove ill will, cruelty, jealousy and desire. In this way, they can achieve happiness for themselves and others, now and in the future. The benefit in the future may come through rebirth in the fortunate realms.
With the request of shedra nuns, Khenpo start giving teachings on 21 Tara Supplication text from 8th December, 2010. There are about fifty shedra nuns at present.

Doctors of Tibetan medicine 藏醫
Eight nuns have completed their studies of traditional Tibetan medicine with a doctor who was trained under the famous Shakar Rinpoche (known as Shakar Amji) who passed away here several years ago. They are now holding medical clinics at the abbey and also make traditional Tibetan medicine and incense. Further, with the intention of benefiting the patients from outside, they have also opened a clinic outside the monastery around the swoyambhu stupa. They have been going on field trips in the Himalayan regions to find medicinal plants. During these expeditions, they sleep in tents and cook outdoors for themselves.

八位安尼完成了他們的傳統西藏醫學的研究與訓練。
他們在寺內製造藏香, 並且在自生佛塔
