She is usually represented as a young female deity but she has the power to assume whatever form necessary in order to carry out her vow which is to appear in any way necessary to lead beings out of suffering. The 1000 arms represent her many attributes. Location : Wat Pho (Wat Phra Chetuphon), Bangkok, Thailand

  • His Eminence Garchen Triptrul Rinpoche is a Drikung Kagyu lama who was known in the thirteenth century as the Siddha Gar Chodingpa, a heart disciple of Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon, founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. In ancient India, he had incarnated as Mahasiddha Aryadeva, the lotus-born disciple of the great Nagarjuna. In the seventh century, he was known as Lonpo Gar, the minister of the Tibetan Dharma King Songtsen Gampo. His present emanation appeared in 1936 in eastern Tibet and was recognized and enthroned by the former Drigung Kyabgon Zhiwe Lodro. At the age of seven Rinpoche was brought to Lho Miyal Monastery. There, in a room full of status, he was asked to identify his lama. Pointing to a statue of Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon, he said, “He is my lama.” Thus, he was recognized as the true holder of the Garchen throne. From the age of eleven, Garchen Rinpoche lived at and administered this monastery. Studying and practicing under the direction of the Siddha Chime Dorje, he received vast and profound instructions on the preliminary practices (ngondro), the fivehold practice of mahamudra and the six yogas of Naropa. Then, at the age of twenty-two, after completing a two and a half year retreat, he was imprisoned for twenty years during the political turmoil of China’s Cultural Revolution. While in the labor camp, Rinpoche received all Dzogchen teachings and meditation instruction from his root lama, the Nyingma Khenpo Munsel, Enduring hardship and practicing secretly, Garchen Rinpoche realized the lama’s inconceivable wisdom mind. His accomplishment was greatly impressed by his teacher and praised by this teacher that there is no doubt that Rinpoche is the actual emanation of a great Bodhisattva. Since his release from prison in 1979, Garchen Rinpoche has made great effort to rebuild the Drikung Kagyu monasteries of eastern Tibet and to reestablish the precious Dharma teachings there. He is presently involved in the establishment of a monastic college at Gar Monastery and two boarding schools for the children of nomadic families. He is also engaged in a variety of projects to restore Gar Monastery to its former glory. In the United States, Rinpoche has recently established Ari Gar Zangchup Choling and Drikung Mahayana Centers for the teaching and practice of the buddhadharma. His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, “a great Drikung Kagyu yogi of the present time” praised by His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche and is respected by many Tibetan lamas as a pure and realized master. An accomplished practitioner of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. Rinpoche’s radiant presence inspires and delights students as the loving mother gathers her children close with sheltering, loving, encouraging, admonishing, laughing, inviting, prodding, teaching, reminding, singing… Always Rinpoche seemed to teach that specific meaning for which one’s own heart yearned. And always his teachings and his example were both brilliantly inspiring and deeply satisfying – showing us the ideal, giving us skillful means by which to realize it. Through teachings on Nature of Mind and Mahamudra, the Vajra Songs of Milarepa, limitless aspiration prayers offered for all beings, Tummo and Guru Yoga practices, the Refuge and Bodhisattva lay ordinations, and teachings on Bodhisattva activity through cultivating the Four Immeasurables and the Thirty-Seven Bodhisattva Practices, Rinpoche poured out the lineage nectar: devotion, compassion, Muhamudra. It is a very rare opportunity in samsaric lives to meet a genuine Bodhisattva/Buddha. To be able to serve an authentic teacher who can guide us on the unmistaken Dharma Path, it is not only due to the cause and condition from our past accumulated merits, the future is also depend on the cause and condition of what we do in this life. We should all preserve this precious human life and such rare opportunity to keep to our hearts of dharma practices and develop the faith toward the authentic dharma teachers.

  • The great accomplished practitioner Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche was born in Drikung, Tibet in 1921. / He entered Drikung Thil Monastery at a very young age and studied Buddhist Philosophy at the Drikung Nyima Changra Buddhist Institute. After his graduation, Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche became the disciple of one of the foremost contemporary retreat masters of the Drikung Kagyu lineage – Drubwang Pachung Rinpoche (1901-1988). Under the guidance of Drubwang Pachung Rinpoche, Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche went on many years of retreat and eventually gained the supreme experiential understanding of Mahamudra. In 1991, he overcame great difficulties and traveled all the way from Tibet to India. In India, he met with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama who requested him to travel to different places to give teachings for the benefit of all sentient beings. Drubwang Rinpoche’s compassion and kindness is so vast that he often gives up everything he owns to the Sangha community. Some years ago, Drubwang Rinpoche forewarned that he would leave this world for the benefit of all sentient beings. It was because H.H. Dalai Lama’s request that Drubwang Rinpoche agreed to stay on for a few more years. In September 1999, His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote a long life prayer for Drubwang Rinpoche at the request of the His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, the Supreme Co-Head of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche does not give tantric empowerments or lofty teachings on Mahamudra, or on Dzogchen. He encourages and inspires people to do the simplest of all dharma practices: to extend kindness to all sentient beings and to do the practice of the three kayas by reciting: Om Ah Mi Dewa Hrih (Heart Mantra of Amitabha) Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hung (Heart Mantra of Chenrezig) Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Padma Siddi Hung (Heart Mantra of Padmasambhava) In December 2007 Drubwang Rinpoche passed away in Singapore

  • Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion.

  • I created this Illustration of a Japanese girl for the Eastern Feminine challenge in the Feminine Intent Group. She is wearing two tattoos: one of the Goddess Quan Yin and one of a Lotus Flower. Quan Yin is believed to be a true Enlightened One, or Bodhisattva. Ancient texts say that she has vowed to remain in the earthly realms and not enter the heavenly worlds until all other living things have completed their own enlightenment and are liberated from the pain-filled cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Quan Yin is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, she hears the cries of all beings. Quan Yin also enjoys a strong resonance with the Energy of the Christian Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Tibetan goddess Tara. Quan Yin is usually depicted standing on a Lotus Flower. The Lotus (in Asian traditions) represents sexual purity, virtue, and divine beauty. I had fun drawing her first on illustration paper with a thin black Pilot Razor Point extra fine pen and black Prismacolor pencil. Then I colored her with chalk pastels and put pencil and black marker back on top. I especially like the texture where the ‘waxy’ Prismacolor pencil and chalk don’t mix very well.

  • Avalokiteśvara is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana Buddhism. In China and its sphere of cultural influence, Avalokiteśvara is often depicted in a female form known as Guan Yin. (However, in Taoist mythology, Guan Yin has other origination stories which are unrelated to Avalokiteśvara) Avalokitesvara is also referred to as Padmapāni ("Holder of the Lotus") or Lokeśvara ("Lord of the World"). In Tibetan, Avalokiteśvara is known as Chenrezig, and is said to be incarnated in the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa and other high Lamas.
