🙏 🙏 🙏 Why Practice? “In many of Guru Rinpoche’s treasure teachings, it says that performing feast offerings generates tremendous merit. And there have been many instances when Guru Rinpoche himself has appeared in person during feast offerings and blessed the practitioners who were calling upon him with unwavering devotion.” — Phakchok Rinpoche

Guru Rinpoche’s life embodied miracles  Padmasambhava’s life was a living embodiment of the miraculous. Nothing is impossible to the fully Enlightened and marvelous Guru Rinpoche — and everything about his amazing life is a wonder. Just as Shakyamuni Buddha, the first Buddha of our age, demonstrated extraordinary phenomena, Padmasambhava personified them. Why does an Enlightened Buddha display magical feats? As “Upaya” or skillful means, or upaya-kaushalya meaning “skill in means.” In simplest terms, upaya is any activity that helps others realize enlightenment. 📅 Timeline of Guru Rinpoche 717 A.D.

Guru Rinpoche enters Bhutan Historically, Guru Rinpoche turned the final wheel of Dharma, popularizing the powerful methods of Buddhist Tantra. Traditionally, he is “Lotus Born” in Oddiyana, by tradition “consciously incarnated as an eight-year-old child appearing in a lotus blossom floating in Lake Dhanakosha, in the kingdom of Oddiyana.” He is the Lotus Born — born fully Enlightened.
