Japa Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche Remembrance Day–Guru Yoga Practice

April 21 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Please join us April 21st at 6:00PM for a Puja in remembrance of the 24th anniversary of the Parinirvana of Khenpo Karten’s Root Guru, Japa Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche. We will practice a very precious sadhana, “The Guru Practice, Rain of Blessings,” composed by Khenpo Karten and containing the “Prayer to Japa Sangye Tenzin” composed by the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinle Dorje.
“Even Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche’s name is very wonderful. ‘Sang’ means clearing, the clearing of adventitious mental afflictions and their imprints. ‘Gye’ means increase, the increase of realized qualities such as compassion and wisdom realizing emptiness. His first name, ‘Sang-gye’ means ‘Buddha’, the same name as Buddha, himself. ‘Ten’, means Teachings, the Teachings of Lord Buddha. ‘Tzin’ means to hold, to uphold. In short, his name means that he is a holder, a protector, of Lord Buddha’s Teachings. He was a special Guru who was really endowed with the meaning of what his name implies. We are all disciples of the same compassionate Guru. Don’t think that you have never met my Guru, that you have never received initiation, teachings, or transmissions from him. You are my disciples. He is my root Guru. We are like one family. If you have faith and devotion he definitely extends his compassion to you and watches over you.”
~Khenpo Karten Rinpoche

More about Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche:  Sangye Tenzin spent 21 years in Chinese prison, yet he transformed the experience into pure spiritual food, and left the prison with only good wishes for his captors.  He was truly a Buddha appearing in this world. To learn more about Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche: “Medicine for the Mind:  On Using Suffering and Obstacles for Mental Development.”  or read about how Sangye Tenzin came to Khenpo Karten Rinpoche in his dreams by reading “The Appearance of my Root Guru in a Dream.”

Monday night prayers are held both in-person at the Dharma Center and virtually on Zoom.
Please do join us for this profound practice. Tashi Delek!
