Orgyen Khandro Norlhe Tseyang Nyida Khajor

Orgyen Khandro Norlhe Tseyang Nyida Khajor

The Summoning of Good Fortune that all of us recite on an ongoing basis comes from the “Orgyen Khandro Norlhe Tseyang Nyida Khajor” (The Orgyen Khandro Norlha Sādhana of Gathering Long-Life and Wealth from the Union of the Sun and Moon Tantra). Even though this sādhana is fairly long and has not been translated into English, it will be very beneficial to play a recording of it at home as it contains all the benefits of the Summoning of Good Fortune that we recite regularly. Thus, it would be very good to play a recording of this sādhana at home on the 10th and 25th day of the Tibetan month, on Losar (the Tibetan New Year), or whenever you wish. This sādhana is the best long-life prayer and it also includes a smoke offering. Since we practice the Summoning of Good Fortune regularly, playing a recording of this long text is very beneficial. Many Tashi Deleks!

Saving the Environment - the importance of our actions and prayers

This is H. E. Garchen Rinpoche’s call to all practitioners to practice for the benefit of Mother Earth and the Environment. He wrote this statement in 2015 and asked that it be disseminated far and wide. Reading it today, his words are indeed prophetic. He tells us that we must love one another, thus creating balance of the elements on the inner level, which will in turn be reflected in balance of the elements on the outer level, in the world around us. If we do not do this, Rinpoche says that “hatred and jealousy will increase in this world, and love will decline. This will lead to an increase of heat in the world, and in the end the world will go up in flames.”

“Someone with a truly virtuous mind does not look at worldly faults. Seeing faults in others is your own fault, and therefore it is you who are mistaken.” From the Altar Sutra by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.
