Precious Video Series – A Travelogue of Spreading the Dharma Overseas – A Great Practitioner Under the Bodhi Tree of Ananda

On October 29th, 2018, His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche led more than 170 disciples to make a pilgrimage to Shravasti in India, participating in Shravasti stupa’s grand consecration ceremony. The stupa was constructed under the directions of His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang. This stupa is in a style of mandala architecture, and is to commemorate Shakyamuni Buddha’s teachings on Mahayana and Vajrayana in Shravasti. In 2013, His Holiness put the Great Shravasti Revitalization Project into motion. Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche supported the project with all his heart and efforts and donated more than US$2 million. Now, the good affinities have at last borne fruit. The dignified Shravasti stupa was built to perfect completion, and its grand consecration ceremony was held.

After the perfect completion of the consecration puja, Rinpoche led the disciples to an area under the Bodhi Tree of Ananda in Jetavana. continue reading »

His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche Presides over the Amitayus Empowerment Puja and Amitayus Fire Offering in Japan to Perfect Completion

At the outset of the 2020 New Year, His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche presided over an “Amitayus Empowerment Puja” at the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Center in Kyoto, Japan. This Dharma method was transmitted directly to Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche by His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang himself, and is a unique feature of the Drikung Kagyu Order, extremely precious and auspicious. After the “Amitayus Empowerment Puja,” Rinpoche went on to perform an “Amitayus Fire Offering.” Although the Amitayus Fire Offering isn’t part of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Rinpoche specifically implored His Holiness to bestow him with an Amitayus Fire Offering Dharma text so that he may use it to benefit sentient beings of the Six Realms. In this chaotic Age of Dharma Decline, Rinpoche cannot resign himself to leave sentient beings in torment, and thus compassionately bestowed this Amitayus Empowerment, and performed the fire offering puja as offerings to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and in charity to all sentient beings, so as to help them to eliminate their karmic hindrances more quickly, and perfect reserves of merits and wisdom. continue reading »
