His Eminence Vajra Guru Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche Presided over the Fire Offering Liturgy of Paustikakarma (Puja Teachings Index 27) to perfect completion at the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Monastery in Miaoli.

On October 16th, His Eminence Vajra Guru Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche rose early in the morning and departed from Taipei to the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Monastery in Miaoli at 8 o’clock in the morning to preside over the incomparably wondrous Fire Offering Liturgy of paustikakarma (Puja Teachings Index 27). Rinpoche ascended the Dharma throne to preside over the Dharma from half past nine in the morning until twelve o’clock at noon. This was after the vasikarana (Puja Teachings Index 26) liturgy presided over on October 6th, Rinpoche, again, headed to the Glorious Buddhist Monastery to preside over the fire offering liturgy. As the construction of the monastery is about to be completed, Rinpoche again presided over the four fire offering liturgies of santikarma (Puja Teachings Index 25), vasikarana (Puja Teachings Index 26), paustikakarma (Puja Teachings Index 27), and raudrakarman (Puja Teachings Index 28), which eliminate obstacles for future puja attendees and enable them to receive good fortune from the four fire offering liturgies.

Rinpoche wore the Dharma vestment and crown that were covered with bone ornament, entering the state of chanding (Puja Teachings Index 6) in the compassion of Śūnyatā (Puja Teachings Index 21) to perform the Dharma. Rinpoche showed the expression of furious yidam, which was extremely incomparably wondrous, blessing and benefitting limitless sentient beings. Rinpoche’s great compassion and mighty power of cultivation and merit moved the heavens and the earth, attracting (Puja Teachings Index 22) all the sentient beings! The fire offering liturgies came to perfect completion, and it was incomparably wondrous and auspicious!

His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche’s bodhicitta vow and actions of benefitting sentient beings are unceasing. After performing the Dharma to perfect completion, without regard for the meals or resting, Rinpoche immediately inspected and supervised various construction works of the Buddhist Monastery, asked questions one by one, and listened attentively to the explanation from the construction staff, to rigorously control every penny of the donation from people. It was not until 2 o’clock in the afternoon did Rinpoche departed to head back to the north. Day and night, Rinpoche labored tirelessly, undertaking long and arduous journeys without regard for his own fatigue. With a vast compassionate vow to liberate all sentient beings, he selflessly led the monastery’s construction team step by step, accomplishing an inconceivably difficult task. In doing so, Rinpoche ensures the continuation of the Dharma lineage, sustains the wisdom-life of countless beings, and brings benefit to all within the six realms.
