His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche Presided Over the ‘Empowerment Puja of Longevity Buddha’at the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Monastery of Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche to Perfect Completion.

The Founding Abbot Guru, His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche, presided over the ‘Empowerment Puja of Longevity Buddha’at the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Monastery of Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche on October 19, 2025. Rinpoche bestowed the incomparably wondrous Longevity Buddha Empowerment, compassionately performed the Dharma to dispel obstacles to longevity and to increase good fortunes and merit, enabling sentient beings to have sufficient time to learn the Buddha Dharma and the opportunity to be reborn in Amitabha’s Pure Land.

As His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche entered the Mahavira Hall, a miraculous fragrance filled the air— pure and solemn, the assembly instantly felt a sense of calm and serenity arise within body and mind. With great compassion, Rinpoche performed the Dharma, leading the assembly in the recitation of the Longevity Buddha’s mantra, Rinpoche’s sacred body and the mandala simultaneously emitted golden light while the ground trembled. Rinpoche then bestowed the body, speech, and mind empowerments through the Longevity Wish-granting Treasure Vase, torma, and multicolored arrows, bestowing upon the assembly the blessings of the five great elements — earth, wind, water, fire, and emptiness — without any reservation. The assembly felt a warm current of compassion flow through them; some experienced heat throughout their bodies, others a tingling at the crown of the head, and some even felt their hair stand on end — all deeply sensing Rinpoche’s great compassionate vow power to benefit all sentient beings.

Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche earnestly exhorted the assembly to observe vegetarianism and refrain from killing, to take refuge in the Three Jewels, always make offerings, attend pujas, and uphold the Five Precepts and Ten Virtuous Acts, and the Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas. By accumulating these virtuous fate, one may truly receive the benefits of the Dharma. With vast bodhicitta, Rinpoche performed the Dharma, radiating incomparably wondrous blessings and bringing boundless benefit to all sentient beings!
