Request to the Worldwide Sangha
The International Administrative Organization for Gargon Monastery recently wrote an important letter to all of the noble sangha and dharma centers in H.E. Garchen Rinpoche's worldwide mandala to request students to organize and participate in long life ceremonies and practices for Garchen Rinpoche.
Next year will be a year of astrological challenges for Garchen Rinpoche, so it is of utmost importance that we practice with pure intent and resolute aspiration for his long life.
Students are requested to continually accumulate White Tara and Namgyalma mantras dedicated to Garchen Rinpoche.
Students can submit their White Tara mantra accumulation at Drikung Rinchen Choling's Web site.
On October 10, 2020, Garchen Rinpoche posted a video message on Garchen Institute's Web site in response to this letter. He wants all his students to know that his current health is very good. Click here to watch this video message.
Also, the Garchen Buddhist Institute's 2020 Winter Teachings Event will include multiple days of Namgylama Long Life practices for Garchen Rinpoche. Stay tuned for more information soon.
We will keep you updated on these practice opportunities.
