SUMMARY:Karma Shawa Rememberance Day
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 27th\, marks the one year anniversary of the passing of Rinpoche’s precious son and baby fawn\, Karma Shawa. Immediately following Saturday morning meditation\, we will move to the MDC backyard where Rinpoche will conduct a short ceremony and prayers in his memory. You can bring flowers if you would like \nFor those who are not familiar with Karma Sharwa’s story here is the link to my blog that I wrote one year ago and also an article written by Christopher Neely on Monterey County Weekly. \nhttp://www.khenpokarten.org/2022/06/karma-shawa-first-draft-i-would-like-to.html \nhttps://www.montereycountyweekly.com/opinion/mcnow_intro/the-story-of-a-pacific-grove-tibetan-monk-and-his-fawn-friend/article_53381ca6-ff0f-11ec-9803-0b96561ba5c2.html \nDo pray for Karma Sharwa on his anniversary day 🙏 Tashi delek \nHere is a prayer that Rinpoche wrote for his friend: \nPrayer for Karma Shawa \nOM SVASTI\nProtector Amitabha of Sukhavati\,\nSupreme Deity of Infinite Light\, closest to our lives\,\nAs you hear my bereaved\, yearning request\,\nQuickly come\, unimpeded\, to the space before me!\nDuring this time when images of Dharma can still be seen\,\nThough our bodies were different\, me\, a human being\,\nAnd you\, a dear little animal\, we came together\nIn this place\, here\, like a father and his son.\nSeparated in the briefest moment\, the nature of impermanent things\,\nYet\, by power of our profound connection during this short time\,\nAnd the positive potential of your good instincts for compassion\,\nThrough forceful methods\, may you take birth in Sukhavati!\nEven if you are not reborn in Sukhavati\,\nMay you take ordination\, meet a Virtuous Spiritual Guide\,\nTrain your mind in successive hearing\, contemplation\, and meditation\,\nAnd finally become irreversible on the path.\nSupreme Deity\, Amitabha\, Lord of hundreds of Buddha families\,\nThrough blessings of your compassion\, coming close from afar\,\nPlease calm all frightening visions of the fawn’s intermediate state\nand swiftly guide the departed Karma Shawa to Sukhavati!\nFor your parents who are left behind\nMay our sorrow for you be consoled\nMay we enjoy health\, peace and happiness\,\nAnd never part from Dharma for a moment of the day or night. \n
