This is Yeshe the Sheltie. No great piece of art (the photo – not the dog) – just funny. Loves his sooky blanket, especially in a cold old Queenslander (even here in the sub-tropics). He looks like a Yugoslavian YaYa. He’s named after the great Tibetan guru, Lama Yeshe. Lama Zopa Rinpoche says you should always try to give your pets dharma names. So, we did.

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

Holy Mantras on Mani stones near to the Vajra Guru or Padmasambhava’s (Guru Rinpoche) sacred cave in Tso Pema (Rewalsar), India / Mani stones are stone plates, rocks or pebbles inscribed, usually, with mantra, as a form of prayer in Tibetan Buddhism. Mani stones are intentionally placed along the roadsides and rivers or placed together to form mounds or cairns as an offering to spirits of place… The mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG / -OM represents the body of all Buddhas; / -MANI means ‘jewel’; / -PADME, means “lotus”; / -HUNG represents the mind of all Buddhas; MANI refers to the jewel that Chenrezig holds in his two central hands and PADME to the lotus he holds in his second left hand. Saying MANI PADME names Chenrezig through his attributes: “the one who holds the jewel and the lotus.” “Chenrezig” or “Jewel Lotus” are two names for the same deity. / When we recite this mantra we are in fact continually repeating the name of Chenrezig. In itself this exercise may look strange. ...this mantra is invested by the grace and power of the mind of Chenrezig who himself gathers the grace and compassion of all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. ... the mantra is endowed with the capacity to purify our mind from the veils that obscure it. The mantra opens the mind to love and compassion and leads it toward awakening. / http://www.amitabhahospice.org.nz/public/spiritual_support/compassion.php

Mantra: Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā / / Śākyamuni or Shakyamuni (“sage of the Shakyan clan”), is the is the historical Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama. / He is key figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. / / Captured at the Stupa of the Tibetan Mindroling Monastery in Clement Town, Dehra Dun, Uttarakhand, India. / / Mindroling Monastery (pronounced MINH-droh-lyng, not Mind-Rolling) is one of the six major monasteries of the Nyingma school in Tibet. It was founded by Rigzin Terdak Lingpa in 1676. For nearly 300 years its monastic university trained Nyingma scholars and yogis from all over Tibet… At Monks traditionally studied thirteen major sutra and tantra texts of the Nyingma, and learned the practices stemming from various terma, especially from the lineage of Terdak Lingpa. The monastery had at one time, over one hundred satellites and its throne holder was one of the most revered in Tibet. At the time of the 1959 revolt against Chinese Communist rule in Central Tibet, there were approximately 300 monks at Mindroling. In the years after 1959, the monastery again suffered damage to its buildings, but it was not as severe as at other monasteries such as Ganden. At present, the monastery is still being reconstructed in Tibet… In 1965, Khochhen Rinpoche and small group of monks began the process of re-establishing Mindroling monastery in India. It now contains Ngagyur Nyingma College, one of the largest Buddhist institutes in India.

The Buddha of Limitless Life, Amitayus appeared, empowered them with longevity, and blessed them as inseparable from him. They both accomplished the second vidyadhara level, “vidyadhara with mastery over life” / / The king of Zahor and his ministers arrested Guru Rinpoche and Mandarava and burned him alive, but he transformed the pyre into a lake, and was found sitting, cool and fresh, on a lotus blossom in its centre.
