His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche Presides over the Gurupuja to Perfect Completion at the Glorious Jewel Buddhist Center
On June 7th, His Eminence Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche presided over the Drikung Kagyu Gurupuja Liturgy in person at the Taipei Glorious Jewel Buddhist Center. As on every anniversary of Lord Jigten Sumgong, Rinpoche has always compassionately(maitrī and karuṇā) practiced the Guru Puja to enable sentient beings to form a deeper fate with Lord Jigten Sumgong.
Disciples are grateful to Rinpoche for teaching through his own conduct, enabling them to witness how a Mahasiddha follows and relies upon his guru, practices dānapāramitā(Puja Teachings Index 15), makes offerings, and submits himself one hundred percent to the guru. Step by step, Rinpoche has led disciples onto the path of practice and liberation, allowing them to understand deeply: to practice Buddhism, should one part from the guru’s attraction(Puja Teachings Index 22), blessings, and teachings, ultimately it would be difficult to attain achievement—relying on the guru is the root of all practice. The disciples prayed to always keep the guru’s teachings in mind, to act according to them, and to never fail the guru’s compassionate(maitrī and karuṇā) and tireless heart.
While Rinpoche was performing the Dharma, his sacred body and the mandala emitted golden rays of light, and a wondrous, miraculous fragrance permeated the venue; the incomparably wondrous powers of blessing warmed the bodies of all attendees, and their chakras vibrated. When Rinpoche began to recite from the Dharma texts, a light chime of keyūra drifted from the ākāśa, clear, crisp, and ineffably refined. During the practice of the Dharma, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the ground shook awesomely. When Rinpoche recited the mantra, the ear-splitting thunder crashed as heavy rain descended in a deluge beyond the window. In contrast, within the Buddhist Center, a thin array of nectar Dharma rain fell softly, calming and stabilizing the mind of all attendees, enabling them to feel deeply how the guru’s compassionate (maitrī and karuṇā) blessings filled the ākāśa.
After the puja reached perfect completion, the clouds drifted away to reveal the sun, the skies grew bright, and the air became clear. These various auspicious signs all go to show Rinpoche’s incredible, incomparably wondrous merit and realization (sāksātkāra). The assembly has universally received the benefit of the Dharma, causing them to give rise to praise, reverence, and gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.
