Recognitions and Congratulations - From H.E. DZOGCHEN DHARMA KING

 

 

　　CONGRATULATIONS

　　The book A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma about the ancient Buddha of sentient beings in the three spheres of existence, H.H. Dharma King Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu, is like the most precious Wish-Fulfilling Jewel in that it outshines all ancient or modern, Chinese or non-Chinese books. Additionally, the book includes wonderful content on the three aspects of correct views, self-cultivation, and realization relating to both exoteric and esoteric Buddha-dharma. In this modern age, such wonderful content is indispensable for building a harmonious world of peace in which people benefit one another. In the book, paintings and art are used in an ingenious way to express the beauty and grandeur of nature. The book also opens up and develops the spiritual wisdom of people. Thus, I specially offer my congratulations on the propagation of A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma.

　　May all be perfectly auspicious!

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO H.E. DZOGCHEN DHARMA KING

　　H.E. Dzogchen Dharma King is the head of the Dzogchen Monastery. The world-renowned Dzogchen Monastery is one of the six main monasteries of the Nyingma sect. The Dzogchen Monastery is the only temple in all of Tibet that is devoted solely to the practice of the Great Perfection. From the 17th century to the middle of the 20th century, the Dzogchen Monastery was the center of the Nyingma sect for transmitting the Pratimoksa Precepts and the Bodhisattva Precepts. All of the current Pratimoksa Precept lineages of the Nyingma sect originated from the greatly accomplished Bodhisattva of the Dzogchen Monastery, Xianpan Taye, and was subsequently handed down from close disciple to close disciple generation after generation. Today the Dzogchen Monastery has almost 300 branch monasteries that are spread throughout five continents. 

　　The Dzogchen Monastery is a remarkable and holy site from which the Buddha-dharma has spread. It has produced more than 60,000 people who have attained the rainbow body and　great liberation in that very lifetime.

　　The first Dzogchen Dharma King, Pema Rigdkzin, established the Dzogchen Monastery and was one of the nirmanakayas of Buddha Ratnasikhin. He devoted his life to the dharma and attained supreme accomplishment through practice of the Great Perfection Dharma.

　　There are two seventh Dzogchen Dharma Kings. H.E. Jigme Losel Wangpo (on the left), who lives in India, was born in 1964 and was recognized by H.H. Dharma King Dodrupchen Rinpoche in 1972. H.H. Dodrupchen Rinpoche is the supreme holder of the Great Perfection Longchen Nying-thik. H.E. Tenzin Longdock Nyima (on the right), who lives in China, was born in 1974 and was recognized by Dokden Lama. The Chinese government conferred a Certificate of Rinpoche upon H.E. Tenzin Longdock Nyima in 2003.
