Words of My Perfect Teacher

If you stay undistracted and do not mix your recitation with ordinary speech, to say the hundred syllable mantra one hundred and eight times without interruption will undoubtedly purify all your evil actions and obscurations, and all violations and breaches of vows and samayas. Such is Vajrasattva's promise.

The Tantra of Immaculate Confession says:

The hundred syllable mantra is the quintessence of the mind of all the Sugatas. It purifies all violations, all breaches, all conceptual obscurations.

It is the supreme confession, and to recite it one hundred and eight times without interruption repairs all violations and breaches and will save one from tumbling into the three lower realms.

Additionally, there are the practices of the Six Perfections: Generosity, Ethical Conduct, Patience, Perseverance, Meditation, Wisdom.

"All the three worlds’ misery comes from wanting happiness for ourselves; and all virtues and happiness is born of a mind that wishes others well. So following the example  of the teacher of all gods and human beings, generate the supreme mind that is set upon unsurpassed awakening.”
-Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche

“For as long as space endures
And for as long as living being remain
Until then, may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world.”

Chamtrul Rinpoche

Commentary on

”The Heart Essence : My Heart’s Advice”
by Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok

April 4TH & 5TH, 10 - 4 pm

Nechung Dorje Drayang Ling is pleased to present Chamtrul Rinpoche’s commentary on ”The Hearts Essence: My Heart’s Advice” by Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok.

The events will take place from 10 am until 4 pm with Vegetarian Potluck lunch at 12 noon.

There will be a Zoom broadcast for those attending remotely.

Chamtrul Rinpoche Lobsang Gyatso is the recognized reincarnation of the second Chamtrul Rinpoche, Pema Nangsel Dorje, who was one of the heads of the Mardo Tashi Choeling Monastery in Tibet. Rinpoche was conferred the title of “khenpo” Abbot by his root guru H.E. Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche at Larung Gar Buddhist Institute in Eastern Tibet after many years of rigorous studies. Known for his nonsectarian approach, he has received the cycles of teachings, empowerments and transmissions from more than twenty-five accomplished masters and scholars from all four major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Through his knowledge and practical advice, Rinpoche compassionately guides his students towards ultimate peace and happiness.

My Heart’s Advice was written by Kyabje Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok, who founded Larung Gar in Eastern Tibet, which has grown to be the largest TIbetan Buddhist Monastic center. Jigme Phuntsok was one of the most influential lamas in contemporary Tibet, many modern Nyingma lamas follow his teachings. He visisted Nechung Dorje Drayang Ling in 1993.

This teaching captures the essence of the Buddhist path, beginning with basic foundations and continuing through the generation of the altruistic mind (bodhicitta) and the nature of self and phenomena.

“9. All the infinite teachings of the buddhas, so vast in number,
Are imparted purely as a means to subdue our own mind.
Don’t put your faith in words alone! I urge you once again:
Let the key points of the deeper meaning seep into your hearts!

15. All the three worlds' misery comes from wanting happiness for ourselves,
And all virtue and happiness is born of a mind that wishes others well.
So, following the example of the teacher of all gods and human beings,
Generate the supreme mind that is set upon unsurpassed awakening.”

Donations are requested to cover the expenses of the program, as well as continued maintenance and operation of the temple. Offerings to the lama are also greatly appreciated. Thank you for your generosity and support.
