Precious Photo Album of the Santikarma (Puja Teachings Index 25) Fire Offering Presided Over by His Eminence Vajra Guru Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche at the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Monastery in Miaoli

On October 20 at 9 a.m., His Eminence Vajra Guru Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche ascended the Dharma throne at the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Monastery in Miaoli and presided over the incomparably wondrous santikarma (Puja Teachings Index 25) liturgy. Before this, Rinpoche had already perfectly completed the paustikakarma (Puja Teachings Index 27) liturgy on October 16 and the vasikarana (Puja Teachings Index 26) liturgy on October 6. Before the construction of the monastery commenced in 2020, His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche had already completed 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) in succession, to ensure the smooth progress of the monastery’s construction. Now, as the construction approaches completion, Rinpoche once again practices these four fire offering liturgies, sincerely praying that the monastery and all its practitioners be auspicious, that all obstacles may vanish, and that they may obtain the good fortune of the four fire offering liturgies.

Rinpoche, adorned in Dharma vestments and Dharma crown, performed the liturgy within the compassion of sunyata (Puja Teachings Index 21). The flames continuously manifested countless auspicious signs, as if the yidam appeared as various nagas, devas, and Dharma protectors. The merits of Rinpoche’s practice are truly inconceivable, bringing boundless benefit to all sentient beings.
