Dear friends,
We wish you very Happy 2016 Year of Fire Monkey!
And Happy to announce that the registration for Rigzin Dupa Drupchen 2016, which is going to be held in Dharma City from February 10th to February 20th is open now.
The Monkey year is very significant for everyone who prays to Guru Rinpoche.
It is said, primordially when many Buddhas came together and said the aspiration prayer of the Seven-Line Prayer, Guru Rinpoche was born and it happen on the Monkey Year and Month. In many other occasions when he manifested in the specific world it was the same year and month. In reality from the time when he primordially manifested by the blessing of Buddhas he has one body, which is free from birth, death, old age and sicknesses. Still then in the apparent phenomena of the sentient beings he appeared to them in many forms, and performed beneficial activities for them. All these manifestations took place during the Monkey Year and Month.
Generally on every tenth day, he will come to anyone who prays to him. We are not able to see him but actually he is always with us like our shadow. So the Monkey Year and Month is very important anniversary. During this time if we make offerings and pray to him there are many more blessings and it is more powerful. This is why we consider the Monkey Year and Month auspicious.
By this Drupchen we are opening the big series of practices, connected to Guru Rinpoche this year, the pinnacle celebration of which will come on August 13th and that time Rinpoche is planning to give all his students chance to visit holy Dzogchen Area, the area where Guru Rinpoche has stayed for a while for the practice of Medicine Buddha and where during the celebration of this anniversary thousands of monk are going to come together…
