THE 14TH DALAI LAMA English Translation of the Message First of all, I would like to say, Tashi Delek to all the Khenpos, Lamas, the assem- blage of ordained Sangha and the tantric practitioners of Ngagyur Nyingma tradition, on this auspicious occasion of Silver Jubilee of Dorden Ngagyur Monlam Chennmo, through this Souvenir published by the Ngagyur Rigzod Editorial committee. As everyone knows that, it was from the time of Khen-Lop-Cho Sum (khenpo Shantarakshita, Lopon Padma Jungney, and Chogyal Trisong Deutsen), who are incompara- ble in terms of kindness to everyone of us, that the tradition of two Sangha communities viz. community of Saffron - robed ordained monks and the community of white - robed tantric practitioners came into existence. It is imperative to uphold this tradition without deterio- rating it. With this it is very important to uphold, preserve and spread the teachings of Lord Buddha which comprise of the teachings of sc ripture and realization through the union of theory and practice. I request everyone to strive with the efficacious means for spreading and flourishing Buddha - dharma, through listening, contemplating, and meditating on un- biased traditions of Buddhism, by upholding one own tradition as the central principle. With prayers and wishes for the success of virtuous celebrations. Sakya Bhikkshu Tenzin Gyatso, 27th day of the seventh Tibetan month, Water Snake year of the 17th Rabjung, 2nd September 2013 6 7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM H.H. THE 14TH DALAI LAMA English Translation of the Message To all the responsible individuals of Ngagyur Dorden Monlam Chenmo - I rejoice in your auspicious events of Silver Jubilee for commemorating the twenty five years of virtu- ous Monlam Chenmo at Bodh Gaya, where clouds of offerings will be made in the presence of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. I also would like to convey my warm regards and greetings to all the participants. Although I am not able to join you all during Monlam as you wished, I will make my heartfelt aspirations with the conviction that I am also with you all at the Monlam Chenmo. Sakya Bhikkshu Tenzin Gyatso, 27th of the Seventh Tibetan month of the Water Snake year of the 17th Rabjung, 2nd September 2013 8 9 MESSAGE FROM H.H. TAGLUNG TSETRUL RINPOCHE English Translation of the Message On this auspicious occasion of Silver Jubilee Ceremony of Ngagyur Dorden Mon- lam Chenmo at the holiest site - Bodh Gaya, where our peerless mentor - Lord Buddha at- tained Enlightenment; I would like to request all the participants - two sections of Sangha Community and the masses to keep aside the eight worldly concerns and try to pray with pure and altruistic intention for - the continuity of Buddha-dharma, the source of all the happiness and well-beings, and the Doctrines of Ngagyur Nyingma, the union of Kama and Terma Teachings (orally transmitted teachings and revealed treasure teachings). I also would like to request everybody to pray for the happiness and well-being of all the sentient beings of the worldly realms, by pacifying all the five degeneration of this degenerate era. From Simla Dodrag Monastery 20th November, 2013. 10 11 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF NYINGMA MONLAM CHENMO INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION English Translation of the Message Due to the kindness and noble responsibility shouldered by the great masters of Ngagyur Nyingma Tradition, distinguished with the six-fold greatness - the origin of all the dharma traditions in Tibet; earnest service of organizers; and the generous support of the sponsors and so forth, twenty four years of meritorious Dorden Monlam Chenmo was completed successfully with the Three Perfect Principles (preparation, main part and conclu- sion), in front of the great holy Bodhgaya stupa, where Thousand and two Buddhas of this fortunate aeon are said to attain enlightenment. Thus, it is fortunate to rejoice in such a great meritorious and a joyous achievement. On this auspicious occasion of Silver Jubilee of Ngagyur Dorden Monlam Chenmo, the 25th World Peace Ceremony, with special homage, I would like to convey my greetings to one and all. Furthermore, for the successful continuation of World Peace Ceremony in the days to come, I appeal all the responsible staff to serve with the altruistic attitude. Particularly, I request the great masters, learned scholars, eminent masters, Lamas and lopons, to kindly attend the Ngagyur Monlam Chenmo, with the aim and objectives to serve Buddha-dharma and beings, irrespective of how busy you are; for I believe that your presence will make great difference. As Monlam Chenmo is a great religious event, we must ensure that it is not stained by political matters. The two communities of ordained and lay practitioners should follow the proper intention and conduct with the instant mindfulness. Moreover, by avoiding the amor- phous states of mind, two communities must pray diligently with the purest intention. It is very essential for the assemblage to follow your respective conduct and inspire the devotees, thereby generating the perfect merits at the sacred place. At the behest of Ngagyur Rigzod Editors, this message was sent by Khentrul Gyangkhang Rinpoche on the 2nd September, 2013 12 鮔་འགྱུར་鮨ོན་ལམ་ཆེན་མོ། 鮐བས་ཉེར་辔་པའི་䞲ན་དེབ། རྒྱལ་ཡོངས་鮔་འགྱུར་讙ིང་མའི་ད孴་འཛིན་讣མ་པའི་ མཛད་讣མ་རགས་བསྡུས། སྤྱིར་བོད་䝴་ནི་མ་དགོན་ཆེན་མོ་དྲུག་སོ་སོའ་གདན་རབས་སམ་޲ི་འཛིན་辟་孴་དེ་ཉིད་αིས་སོ་སོའི ་དགོན་མ་ལག་ཡང་ལག་དང་བཅས་ི པར་鮟ངས་འཛིན་宱ེད་པ་ལས་དམིགས་བསལ་றིས་讙ིང་བ鮟ན་སྤྱི་ལ་ޱབ་པའི་ད孴་འཛིན་ཞེས་མངའ་གསོལ་宱ེད་鮟ངས་དང་དེ་辟་孴འི་འོག་

  • The Life and Times of Mingyur Peldrön: Female Leadership in 18Th Century Tibetan Buddhism
    The Life and Times of Mingyur Peldrön: Female Leadership in 18th Century Tibetan Buddhism Alison Joyce Melnick Ann Arbor, Michigan B.A., University of Michigan, 2003 M.A., University of Virginia, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia August, 2014 ii © Copyright by Alison Joyce Melnick All Rights Reserved August 2014 iii Abstract This dissertation examines the life of the Tibetan nun Mingyur Peldrön (mi 'gyur dpal sgron, 1699-1769) through her hagiography, which was written by her disciple Gyurmé Ösel ('gyur med 'od gsal, b. 1715), and completed some thirteen years after her death. It is one of few hagiographies written about a Tibetan woman before the modern era, and offers insight into the lives of eighteenth century Central Tibetan religious women. The work considers the relationship between members of the Mindröling community and the governing leadership in Lhasa, and offers an example of how hagiographic narrative can be interpreted historically. The questions driving the project are: Who was Mingyur Peldrön, and why did she warrant a 200-folio hagiography? What was her role in her religious community, and the wider Tibetan world? What do her hagiographer's literary decisions tell us about his own time and place, his goals in writing the hagiography, and the developing literary styles of the time? What do they tell us about religious practice during this period of Tibetan history, and the role of women within that history? How was Mingyur Peldrön remembered in terms of her engagement with the wider religious community, how was she perceived by her followers, and what impact did she have on religious practice for the next generation? Finally, how and where is it possible to "hear" Mingyur Peldrön's voice in this work? This project engages several types of research methodology, including historiography, semiology, and methods for reading hagiography as history.

  • 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.

  • AN Introduction to MUSIC to DELIGHT ALL the SAGES, the MEDICAL HISTORY of DRAKKAR TASO TRULKU CHOKYI WANGCRUK (1775-1837)’
    I AN iNTRODUCTION TO MUSIC TO DELIGHT ALL THE SAGES, THE MEDICAL HISTORY OF DRAKKAR TASO TRULKU CHOKYI WANGCRUK (1775-1837)’ STACEY VAN VLEET, Columbia University On the auspicious occasion of theft 50th anniversary celebration, the Dharamsala Men-tsee-khang published a previously unavailable manuscript entitled A Briefly Stated framework ofInstructions for the Glorious field of Medicine: Music to Delight All the Sages.2 Part of the genre associated with polemics on the origin and development of medicine (khog ‘bubs or khog ‘bugs), this text — hereafter referred to as Music to Delight All the Sages — was written between 1816-17 in Kyirong by Drakkar Taso Truilcu Chokyi Wangchuk (1775-1837). Since available medical history texts are rare, this one represents a new source of great interest documenting the dynamism of Tibetan medicine between the 1 $th and early 19th centuries, a lesser-known period in the history of medicine in Tibet. Music to Delight All the Sages presents a historical argument concerned with reconciling the author’s various received medical lineages and traditions. Some 1 This article is drawn from a more extensive treatment of this and related W” and 1 9th century medical histories in my forthcoming Ph.D. dissertation.

  • 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.

  • 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).
