Duozhu Rinpoche 58. Great Khenpo Gongcheng 60. Pengcuo Rinpoche The following are recognitions, corroborations and congratulations that these sixty people of great holiness and virtue wrote to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Throughout the long development of Buddhism over more than two thousand years, there have been illustrious practitioners of high status in each of the various sects. Therefore, the order in which dharma kings and rinpoches are arranged below does not necessarily represent their relative status. The order of their names was mainly based upon their realization powers and the titles of their positions, with those of higher realization powers and higher positions being listed first. However, mistakes in the order of names are unavoidable. Thus, we ask for the understanding of these dharma king, venerable ones, and rinpoches. 1. THE WORLD’S SOLE HOLDER OF THE HIGHEST RAINBOW BODY ACCOMPLISHMENT DHARMA: H.H. DHARMA KING DODRUPCHEN H.H. Dodrupchen Rinpoche is the supreme leader and sole holder in the entire world of the complete Great Perfection Longchen Nying-thik Dharma. All of the Longchen Nying-thik lineages practiced in each of the major monasteries around the world originated from initiations performed by and dharma transmitted by H.H. Great Dharma King Dodrupchen. Without H.H. Great Dharma King Dodrupchen, there would be no Longchen Nying-thik Great Perfection, which is the highest esoteric dharma in the world. After reading the book A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma in December of 2006, H.H. Great Dharma King Dodrupchen marveled at the accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu and promptly wrote a congratulatory letter. In the letter, he stated that the accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III are truly miraculous and demonstrate in an extraordinary way the absolute truth of the Buddha-dharma. 2. THE THIRD SUPREME WORLD-LEADER OF THE MODERN NYINGMA SECT: H.H. DHARMA KING PENOR The Palyul network of monasteries is the largest of the six main subsects within the Nyingma sect. Not only was H.H. Dharma King Penor the lineage holder of the Palyul dharma lineage, he was also the third supreme leader of the modern Nyingma sect. In August of 2007, H.H. Dharma King Penor wrote the following in a letter to dharma kings and rinpoches all over the world: The accomplishments of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, whose identity has been recognized by numerous eminent monastics and people of great virtue, will enable living beings to leave suffering, attain happiness, and have the karmic conditions to ultimately become Buddhas. Honorable Rinpoches: H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu, who has been recognized by numerous greatly virtuous and eminent monastics, propagates the Buddha-dharma. His Holiness’s book A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma manifests full proficiency in the Five Vidyas. That book is being published and distributed in response to the requests of Buddhists all over the country. The publication and distribution of that book will cause the Buddha-dharma to abide in this world eternally and will provide the karmic conditions for living beings to obtain immediate happiness, leave the sufferings and hardships of samsara forever, and attain the ultimate state of Buddhahood. Palyul Rinpoche Pema Norbu August 11, 2007 3. THE PRE-EMINENT GREATLY VIRTUOUS ONE IN PRESENT-DAY TIBET: H.H. DHARMA KING ACHUK H.H. Dharma King Omniscience Jamyang Lungdok Gyaltsen Achuk Lama is a great Buddha Master in the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the incarnation of Venerable Longsal Nyingpo, one of the twenty-five great disciples of Guru Padmasambhava. H.H. Dharma King Omniscience is one of the greatest and most accomplished leaders of contemporary Buddhism. In the summer of 2006, H.H. Dharma King Omniscience read A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma and was astounded. He knew that the accomplishments and wisdom shown it that book were unprecedented in this world. Dharma King Omniscience then wrote his own recognition certificate and stamped his precious red seal upon it. That recognition certificate stated that H.H. Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu is the greatest leader of Buddhism! Page 4 of 35 Certificate of Recognition Based upon the recognition of Urgyen Xirao, the dharma prince of Guru Padmasambhava, and following the system and religious rituals of Tibetan Buddhism for determining the reincarnation of Rinpoches, I entered samadhi to observe the truth. I now solemnly recognize that H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee, who is the son of father Zhonghai Yee and mother Kunfang Xu from Dayi County in Sichuan Province, is the incarnation of Vimalakirti (that is, Vimalakirti has again come to this world), is Dorje Chang Buddha III and has the dharma name of H.H. Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu. This is the maturing of the karmic conditions of living beings relating to good fortune and wisdom. We are grateful for this blessing bestowed by the Buddhas. I hereby recognize. Dharma King Jamyang Lungdok Gyaltsen June 20, 2006 4. YIDAM-DHARMA INITIATION MASTER OF THE 17TH KARMAPA: H.H. DHARMA KING GONGBAO DUMU QUJI H.H. Dharma King Dumu Quji was conferred the title of “Buddha-Dharma National Master” by an emperor in the Ming Dynasty. The meaning of “Quji” is Dharma King. H.H. Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji XVIII is the Vajra Master of H.H. the 17th Karmapa Great Jewel Dharma King. He performed the yidam dharma initiation for H.H. the 17th Karmapa Great Jewel Dharma King. He is the only one of great holiness and virtue who H.H. Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji teaches the 17th Karmapa. cleansed through a ritual bathing H.H. the 17th Karmapa and formally put the Great Jewel Dharma King robes onto H.H. the 17th Karmapa. He did so at the respectful request of H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche, who is one of the four great Dharma Princes. During the time H.H. Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji XVIII performed initiations for the Karmapa, he saw in a supernatural state the ancient, primordial Buddha—Dorje Chang Buddha—bless the Karmapa. That ancient Buddha manifested as H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. H.H. Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji XVIII wrote the following about this real experience: “H.H.

  • JACEK TRZEBUNIAK* Analysis of Development of the Tibetan Tulku
    The Polish Journal of the Arts and Culture Nr 10 (2/2014) / ARTICLE JACEK TRZEBUNIAK* (Uniwersytet Jagielloński) Analysis of Development of the Tibetan Tulku System in Western Culture ABSTRACT With the development of Tibetan Buddhism in Europe and America, from the second half of the twentieth century, the phenomenon of recognising a person as a reincarnation of Bud- dhist teachers appeared in this part of the world. Tibetan masters expected that the identified person will serve important social and religious functions for Buddhist communities. How- ever, after several decades since the first recognitions, the Western tulkus do not play the same important role in the development of Buddhism, as tulkus in China, and the Tibetan communities in exile. The article analyses the cultural and social causes of the different functioning of tulku institution in Western societies. The article shows that a different un- derstanding of identity, power and hierarchy mean that tulkus do not play significant roles in the development of Buddhism in this part of the world. KEY WORDS religious studies, Tibetan Buddhism, tulku, West INTRODUCTION Tulku (Tib. sprul sku) is a person in Tibetan Buddhism tradition who is recog- nised as a reincarnation of a famous Buddhist master. The tradition originated in the 13th century in the Kagyu (Tib. bka’ brgyud) sect when students of the Dusum Khyenpa (Tib. dus gsum mkhyen pa), after his death, found a boy and * Wydział Filozoficzny, Katedra Porównawczych Studiów Cywilizacji Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie, Polska e-mail: [email protected] 116 Jacek Trzebuniak recognised him as a reincarnation of their master1.

  • The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts
    The Tulku System in Tibetan Buddhism: Its Reliability, Orthodoxy and Social Impacts By Ramin Etesami A thesis submitted to the graduate school in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the International Buddhist College, Thailand March, 20 Abstract The Tulku institution is a unique characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism with a central role in this tradition, to the extent that it is present in almost every aspect of Tibet’s culture and tradition. However, despite this central role and the scope and diversity of the socio-religious aspects of the institution, only a few studies have so far been conducted to shed light on it. On the other hand, an aura of sacredness; distorted pictures projected by the media and film industries;political propaganda and misinformation; and tendencies to follow a pattern of cult behavior; have made the Tulku institution a highly controversial topic for research; and consequently, an objective study of the institution based on a critical approach is difficult. The current research is an attempt to comprehensively examine different dimensions of the Tulku tradition with an emphasis on the issue of its orthodoxy with respect to the core doctrines of Buddhism and the social implications of the practice. In this research, extreme caution has been practiced to firstly, avoid any kind of bias rooted in faith and belief; and secondly, to follow a scientific methodology in reviewing evidence and scriptures related to the research topic. Through a comprehensive study of historical accounts, core Buddhist texts and hagiographic literature, this study has found that while the basic Buddhist doctrines allow the possibility for a Buddhist teacher or an advanced practitioner to “return back to accomplish his tasks, the lack of any historical precedence which can be viewed as a typical example of the practice in early Buddhism makes the issue of its orthodoxy equivocal and relative.

    On Local Festival Performance: The Sherpa Dumji in a world of dramatically increasing uncertainties1 Eberhard Berg It is important to remember, however, that Tibetan Buddhism, especially the form followed by the Rnying ma pa, is intended first and foremost to be pragmatic (...). The explanation for the multiplicity of metaphors and tutelary deities lies in the fact that there must be a practice suited to every sentient creature somewhere. Forms or metaphors that were relevant yesterday may lose their efficacy in the changed situation of today. E.G. Smith (2001:240) The Sherpas are a small, ethnically Tibetan people who live at high altitudes in the environs of Mt. Everest in Solu-Khumbu, a relatively remote area in the north eastern part of the “Hindu Kingdom of Nepal”. Traditionally, their economy has combined agriculture with herding and local as well as long- distance trade. Since the middle of the 20th century they have been successfully engaged in the trekking and mountaineering boom. Organised in patrilineal clans, they live in nuclear family households in small villages, hamlets, and isolated homesteads. Property in the form of herds, houses and land is owned by nuclear families. Among the Sherpas, Dumji, the famous masked dance festival, is held annually in the village temple of only eight local communities in Solu- Khumbu. According to lamas and laypeople alike Dumji represents the most important village celebration in the Sherpas’ annual cycle of ceremonies. The celebration of the Dumji festival is reflective of both Tibetan Buddhism and its supremacy over authochtonous belief systems, and the way a local community constructs, reaffirms and represents its own distinct local 1 I would like to thank the Sherpa community of the Lamaserwa clan, to their village lama, Lama Tenzing, who presides over the Dumji festival, and the ritual performers who assist him, and the Lama of Serlo Gompa, Ven.

  • Tibet Insight News, 1-15 February 2020
    TIBET INSIGHT NEWS, 1-15 FEBRUARY 2020 1 TAR NEWS New PSB directive mandates ‘zero distance’ between police and people in TAR February 14, 2020 The Central Public Security Bureau (PSB) issued a new directive mandating the Police Headquarters in TAR to launch a new propaganda campaign entitled ‘One million policemen into ten million homes’ and asking it to maintain ‘zero distance’ between the police and the people. Launched on January 14, 2020, the new campaign is scheduled to end by December 2020. The Tibet Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station organized a meeting in this connection and discussed the overall deployment activities to be carried out in TAR. It was decided that grassroot civilian police units would enter into all aspects of a community, into pastoral areas, monasteries, nunneries, campuses, market, construction sites, homes, border areas, and ‘mingle’ closely with the common people. The grassroot civilian police units were asked to grasp the root causes of a ‘problem/risk’ and conduct preventive measures accordingly. Damshung County of Chengguan District, Lhasa started the campaign on February 14, under the leadership of the Tashi, Director of the Damshung Public Security Bureau and Secretary of the local Political and Legal Committee. At a deployment meeting he told local Township police units that to carry out the campaign they should enter into village groups (including virtual ones like WeChat), monasteries, nunneries, campuses and entrepreneurial sites. He added that the Township police units should keep as close contact as possible with the people, ensure their safety and maintain stability in the region. After the deployment meeting, policemen of Damshung County packed rice, dumplings and other necessities and went to their respective jurisdictions to conduct the campaign.

  • Yuthog Nyingthig Empowerment and Oral Transmission
    YUTHOG NYINGTHIG EMPOWERMENT AND ORAL TRANSMISSION BY VEN. TAKLUNG TSETRUL RINPOCHE Yuthog Nyingthig Empowerment and Initiation remains one of the most sacred and esoteric practice of Buddhist Tantric Traditions capable of rewarding complete enlightenment in one’s life time for the most fortunate and dedicated practitioners. It falls into the sublime category of Nyingmapa’s rZogs-chen or Great Accomplishment Tradition. Yuthog Yonten Gonpo, the Father of Tibetan Medicine who attained rainbow body while on his final departure to the glorious land of Medicine Buddha, transmitted this sacred knowledge to his chosen disciple Sumton-Yeshe-zun. Sumton in turn nurtured and cherished this practice like a jewel from the heart of his own Guru and, very secretly passed the precious knowledge down through the centuries of legendary spiritual Masters and physicians to maintain the continuum of its sacred lineages. It is said that Yuthog, throughout his lifetime, practiced and cherished two jewels from his own heart: Yuthog Nyingthig and Sowa Rigpa( Tibetan Medical System) hand in hand together. Realizing the great need of such a profound empowerment and Initiation in today’s degenerating era, and particularly for the practitioners of Tibetan Medicine, the members of the Central Council of Tibetan Medicine (CCTM) made a fervent and repetitive request to Kyabje Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche, one of the rare Buddhist Spiritual Masters who holds the precious lineage of this sacred Initiation, to bestow the empowerment and oral transmission to our Tibetan doctors for the glory of Sowa Rigpa. Our prayer was answered when Rinpoche, disregarding his age, health and all the travel hardships, on the most auspicious date of 1st to 4th day of celestial star ‘Wo’ month of Tibetan Earth Ox Year( 27th to 30th March, 2009),blessed and satisfied all the fortunate devotees numbering about 400( including many devoted practitioners of Tibetan Medicine in the Himalayan regions of Ladakh, Spiti, Bhutan and Nepal).
