With Our Greatest Sorrow for the News on the Passing of H.H. Dudjom Yangsi Rinpoche’s Entering into Parinirvana (1990-2022)

We are extremely sorry and sad to hear of the news of His Holiness Dudjom Yangsi  Sangye Pema Shepa Rinpoche ‘s entering into Parinirvana on 15th February, 2022 at the age of 32. This is a great loss for the whole of the Nyingma tradition in general, and of the Dudjom Tersar tradition in particular.

We earnestly ask all Dharma friends and disciples of the Dudjom Tersar tradition to do their own sadhanas (especially the Vajrasattva sadhanas and mantras and Guru Yoga), prayers and aspirations, and to dedicate all the merits for the continuous spread of the Holy Dharma for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings, as limitless as the sky!

We sincerely wish that everything will work out fine in accordance with the Holy Dharma and all of our karmic activities and aspirations of sincere good wishes! Tashi Deleg!

Sincere Earnest Request from

Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye & Pema Lhadren, On behalf of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International).

The Buddhist teachings are meticulous and profound, while its methods of practice are practical and achievable. Nevertheless, the teachings are as abstruse and comprehensive as an ocean, such that it is not an easy task for one to even just trying to grasp its study contents in a concise and accurate manner, let alone the more profound aspects of Dharma practices.

Therefore, the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) aims to help revealing the abstruse meanings of the authentic Buddhist teachings in such a way that it can be easily understood by the general public, in using simple and clear language to explain the amazing subtlety of the Buddhist teachings, while analyzing their intricacy in a systematic and deductive way, through “scientific discoveries” and modern concepts as footnotes, to present their ingeniousness.

Through the publications of over 500 pieces of various types of teaching materials in its “Multimedia Dharma Preaching Series”, including books, journals and magazines, as well as CDs and DVDs, the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) aims to propagate the Buddhist Holy Dharma to the general public. In order to cater for an even wider audience across the world, we have now decided to gradually put up all of the above-mentioned multimedia publications onto the internet for easy access and free of distribution.

New Year Greetings to All Our Disciples and Dharma Friends All Over the World for the Lunar New Year of the Iron Ox!

In the past year, the world has plunged into a sudden great adversity.

As the truth of the Buddhist Holy Dharma shows: it is “always impermanent in all worldly matters, and that it is only by practising the Holy Dharma will one be able to become liberated from all the distress of impermanence.”

The core in practising the genuine Buddhist Holy Dharma is on “Mind-Training.”

You will find that those Dharma Practitioners who have the “Awareness” in cultivating their “Mind-Training” will surely be able:

To safely survive all kinds of adversity;

To get support when in sufferings;

To get protected when in crises;

To strongly believe in the Law of Cause and Effect with great acceptance;

To raise questions when trapped in great misty occasions;

To generate meditational strength for further analyses;

To search for the root causes from one’s own wisdom; and

To overcome successfully and be spontaneous with one’s own “Awareness”.

“Do not abide in notions. Should not abide in anywhere so as to develop an Awareness.”

To initiate the “Five Wisdoms” in entering into the “Ten Beliefs.”

To make use of all scenes as the path of advancement, and to get the heart essences from all sorts of things.

To resolve all doubts and confusions in one’s own mind so as to achieve the final “Perfect Enlightenment.”

In this coming new year, we sincerely pray and wish all of you to be enlightened at the earliest possible time, to be fearless of all the illusory changes that happen in this whole world, and to be liberated from one’s own mind.

(All the above-mentioned methods of “Mind-Training and Dharma-Practice” can be referred to the video lectures Nos. 20 to 36 of the series on “The Visualisation Practices of Compassion and Bodhicitta”at the Dudjom Buddhist Association International’s YouTube TV channel on Buddhist Discourses. Its link: https://www.youtube.com/user/dudjombuddhist)

Wishing all of you to accumulate and achieve immeasurable merits, in order to be dedicated for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings, with the best of health, with the increase of wisdom, and with great spiritual progress on the Bodhi Path (Road to Full Enlightenment)!

SARWA MANGALAM!

A Wholehearted Prayer from All Members of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) to the Three Jewels, Three Roots, and All the Holy Saints!

We bow down at the Lotus Feet of all the Gurus, the Three Jewels, the Three Roots and All the Holy Saints!

We beseech all the Holy Saints of the ten directions and of the three times, namely: all the Gurus, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, all the Yidam Deities, Dakas, Dakinis, Dharma protectors, all virtuous Devas and Gods, the Eight Legions of Devas and Nāgas, the Four Great Heavenly Kings, all Protective Deities, the Twelve Divine Generals and their Sixty ‘Yearly Planetary Rulers’ under them, and all the Guardians of the Earth of the Three Thousand Major Chiliocosms, please kindly behold and consider all the sentient beings of this age of strife and turbulent times in this Evil World of the Five Degenerations!

We are all those pitiful sentient beings born in this very sorrowful Degenerate Age; with an ocean of ill-effects from the deluge of our negative collective karma that overflows from our universally boundless bad karmas, causing this plague to swiftly spread across the whole world like a huge tsunami. We now earnestly beseech to all the Gurus, the Three Jewels, the Three Roots, and all the Holy Saints, please be compassionate and have pity upon us all who are weak, powerless, and helpless sentient beings; please bless us all to be able to swiftly master the techniques in producing various kinds of vaccines (for prevention) and antidotal medicines (for treatment) in tackling this pandemic, so that this worldly catastrophe could hopefully be completely ceased to exist as soon as possible.

Please do not act with hesitation on your vows of the ancient past! Please stretch out your lightning hands of compassion! Please rescue, protect and shelter us, all defenceless beings, and free us from fears and agonies! We earnestly pray with our pure thoughts, by the power of the Dharma Realm and the perfect nature of the complete Sublime Truth, together with the ocean of compassion of the Three Supreme Refuges, to swiftly achieve the very goal of the following yearning prayer of ours, just as what we have hoped for and dreamed of!

A “Prayer for the Cessation of the Plague* and the Confessions of Our Sins”

OM SVASTI!

All  conditioned actions are of impermanence and full of sufferings,

With the serious plague suddenly appear and spread widely.

We should practice the Buddhist Holy Dharma to eliminate the negative karmas,

We beseech all the Buddhas in helping to eradicate this serious plague.

All sufferings of the collective karmas are being aroused by hatred,

While hatred has evolved from both greed and ignorance;

These three poisons are intertwining to develop into this disaster (the plague),

Hence we sincerely repent and confess for all of our sins, misdeeds and faults.

With complete repentance of all our sins, misdeeds and faults in the breaking of the precepts (vows) and the transgressions of the samayas,

Hereby, and from now on, we sincerely make our vows and aspirations:

To strictly uphold the ten virtuous precepts, and to protect the correct Buddhist Holy Dharma,

In studying the Sutras and Tantras so as to reveal our own inner wisdom;

To truly understand the correct Buddhist knowledge and view, and to act upon the right path,

In realizing and entering into the great ocean of the Buddhist Holy Dharma in order to unveil the intrinsic nature of oneself;

To prostrate whole-heartedly with great devotion at the Lotus Feet of all the Buddhas,

We beseech all the Buddhas to shower, and bestow upon all sentient beings, the nectars of the Buddhist Holy Dharma like falling rains;

So as to eliminate this plague and all its pathological mutations and changes,

As well as to extinguish the greed, to cease the hatred and to get rid of the ignorance;

To bless the whole world with health, fortune and happiness, such that

All sentient beings would become virtuous so that the collective karmas could be transformed.

To all the Gurus, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas,

Together with all the Yidams, Dakas and Dakinis,

And all the numerous Dharma protectors, as limitless as the ocean, united together with all the numerous virtuous Devas,

Please kindly remember all the auspicious vows and samayas that all of you had made in the countless past Aeons;

Having great compassion and mercy to accept all of our true repentances, and

Think fondly and deeply of all sentient beings as your own small children;

To forgive all of their sins and faults, and please grant them protection and support, and

Lead and guide the deceased to the Pure Land of the Great Bliss;

To earnestly support and maintain those patients for the swift recovery of their health,

We all keep our vows and samayas pure to truly practice the correct Buddhist Holy Dharma.

Please kindly help to stop and eliminate all plagues in an instant, such that

This world would never hear the names of war, illnesses and sufferings;

But only listen to the gentle voice of the Buddhist Holy Dharma and the Holy Names of all the Buddhas,

The Three Realms would then have great fortune, together with ever-increasing virtues and auspiciousness.

On behalf of all the members of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International), we sincerely pray and hope for world peace.

We also sincerely pray and wish that all sentient beings to be able to practice the Buddhist Holy Dharma, so as to benefit both oneself and others, as well as to enlighten both oneself and others, all the way up to the Perfect Enlightenment!

We are praying that all the illnesses of our motherly sentient beings to be eradicated, and all beings would be freed from sufferings and achieve happiness, and will eventually attain Buddhahood (Perfect Enlightenment)!.

May all be virtuous and auspicious!

SARVA MANGALAM!

(*Note: The plague refers to the recent upsurge and world-wide spread of the pandemic COVID-19.)

Greetings to All Disciples and Dharma Practitioners for the Lunar New Year of the Male Iron Mouse!

This coming Lunar New Year of the Mouse is about to start soon. Looking back at the past year, have you made any good progress on the path of learning Buddhism?

Even if you haven’t made any good progress, have you finally established the direction of your Dharma-Practice?

These are some of the crucial indicators for all of you.

In our present existence of space and time, the human life span is actually very short.

The longest is only a hundred years. But the Lord Buddha Shakyamuni said, “These are all impermanent, and life can very likely end within an instant.”

Therefore, the Lord Buddha Shakyamuni often reminded all sentient beings to cherish every minute and second to practice the Holy Dharma. Don’t let down the precious time of this very life.

Now that one has acquired this hard-to-be-obtained precious human body,
And has listened to the hard-to-be-heard Buddhist teachings;
Yet, if this precious human body is not being used for the attainment of liberation in this very lifetime,
Then, in which of the countless lifetimes will one be able to attain liberation for this very body?

When is the most precious time in one’s life? It is at that very moment, after you have listened to the Holy Dharma, when you want to decide on whether you will take up the path of putting the Holy Dharma into real and concrete practice.

At this critical moment, if your life choice is to put the Dharma-Practice as your first priority once and for all, and to apply the “Procedures on Mind-Training” (as taught by the two Vajra Masters) by genuinely practicing them in every minute and second of your daily life, then you have created a luminous path of ascension for your future destiny, and to lay the best and most important foundation for yourself to stay away from the dark side of it.

Helplessly, sometimes you will find that the environments of our daily living to be full of various challenges and obstacles. It seems that these circumstances are always slowing you down on your Dharma-Practice, or even destroying your Dharma-Practice, thus making you to feel depressed.

But, in actuality, this is not the case at all.

In the process of one’s own “Mind-Training and Dharma-Practice”, we need to understand and learn that, regardless of whether favourable conditions or adverse conditions, it is still an excellent opportunity to help us in the training of our own minds.

We must seize these opportunities in order to be able to elevate the Nature of our Minds. At the same time, “THESE are the times that try men’s souls”; and so we must be vigilant and be very careful to handle things delicately, and not to be controlled by one’s own “Greed, Hatred, and Ignorance”.

Moreover, in this world of Five Degenerations, we are existing on the human realm, with the possession of good memory, and having the good opportunity to learn the Holy Dharma. That is already at the apex of the pyramid. You all, our disciples, are the luckiest ones from among the fortunates.

On the path of ordinary sentient beings, they all will have to follow the trajectories of their own karmic forces and destiny. It is, indeed, very difficult for them to escape from such kind of destiny. For them, the Nature of their Minds will most likely be moving downwards, rather than upwards.

Yet, as disciples of ours, while you are on the path of Dharma-Practice, and even if you encounter any obstacles, unfavourable conditions, family objections, and all kinds of mismatch, you should recognize and understand that these are just normal phenomena. It is just some non-virtuous retributions, among the fortunate ones, that have appeared in your own karmic forces.

These are, indeed, the dynamo and the soil horizon that help to elevate our own “Wisdom” of Dharma-Practice, as well as the “Awareness” needed for our liberation from samsara. Hence, if you are not afraid of these non-virtuous retributions, but instead regard them as a “motivating force to elevate yourself, a channel for you to remove karmic obstacles and to repay karmic debts”, then you are on the right track of your Dharma-Practice. You are now treading on a “Luminous Path of Elevating Upwards”!

Don’t be afraid on the arising of thoughts, but be afraid on the delay of Awareness!

Don’t be afraid of karmic retributions, but be afraid of Ignorance!

The way for one’s Dharma-Practice is to be on the positive and upward direction!

The way for success in one’s Dharma-Practice is “Not to abide in any form or substance”!

We do hope and pray that all of you to have new successful experiences in your Dharma-Practice: the Elevation of Awareness!

Wishing you all to achieve immeasurable merits to be dedicated for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings, and with great progress on the Bodhi Path (Road to Enlightenment)!

Best Wishes for the Lunar New Year with Good Health, Full of Love, Joy, Happiness and Auspiciousness throughout the year, together with great progress on the Bodhi Path (Road to Enlightenment)!

Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye & Pema Lhadren,

on behalf of the Sangha members of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International), 23rd January, 2020.

Best Wishes for the Lunar New Year of the Rooster!

How Should One Face “Happiness and Sufferings”!

The Lunar New Year of the Rooster is just around the corner.  Some people say that the past year went by very quickly, while some others say that it was full of hardships.  As a Dharma practitioner, one should only ask how is the progress of one’s own Dharma practice? Whether it has been done well or not, fast or slow? While most ordinary people would feel and reflect upon their own past on a scale of happiness and pain, as Dharma practitioners, especially for those who have already reached a certain level of spiritual realization, we should focus our minds to review on our own Dharma practices.

When Dharma practitioners experience happiness, they would feel joyful. Yet, this kind of feeling should be used to further enhance one’s own practice, and should not be for one’s own indulgence. Furthermore, they should dedicate this feeling of happiness to all our motherly sentient beings. They should also be most grateful for the blessings of the Gurus, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Dharma protectors.  It is only by so doing will one’s “mind-training” practice be making real progress, and then one will be spiritually uplifted and to become even more happy.

When Dharma practitioners experience sufferings, they would feel the pain. Yet, this kind of feeling should also be used to advance one’s own practice, and should not be the reason for one to wallow in self-degradation. Neither should this be the reason for one to sink into self-pitying, nor to curse those whom one think might be against oneself, all of which might only lead to having one’s spiritual downfall.  Furthermore, they should not be doubtful as to whether they were blessed by the Gurus, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Dharma protectors or not.  More important is that Dharma practitioners should not become superstitious, due to this feeling, in seeking for the advice of Feng Shui, and so on.  Instead, they should avoid to be led by the nose due to superstitions.

As Dharma practitioners, it is very clear that if one cannot transform sufferings into positive energy, then all of one’s actions will only add in more negative karmas to oneself. As a result, one will only continue to move downwards spiritually in one’s future lifetimes, and this is the “cause and effect”. Understanding the origins of the “causes and conditions” will lead one to make wiser life choices, which will in turn help one to reap good “fruitions”.  In this way, in knowing how to face “Happiness and Sufferings” is also part of one’s own Dharma practice. 

For this coming new year, we sincerely wish that all of you will be so full of wisdom of improving oneself in becoming a very progressive Dharma practitioner.  Good health, full of love and joy, and with great progress on the Bodhi Path (Road to Enlightenment)!

Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye & Pema Lhadren,

on behalf of the Sangha members of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International), 27th February, 2017.

With our greatest grief and deepest regret,

The Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) regrettably announced the sad news of His Holiness Kyabje Chadral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche’s Entering into Maha-Parinirvana on 30th December, 2015, at the age of 105 years old, due to the lack of merits and unwholesome karmas of all sentient beings in general.

During these 49 days, all the disciples and Sangha members of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International), as well as all those Dharma practitioners who would participate should pray whole-heartedly with fervent regard and strong faith to our Most Beloved Crowning Jewel and Wish-Fulfilling Gem for His Holiness’ continuous blessings of this universe, hopefully, to help alleviate the lack of merits and unwholesome karmas of all sentient beings in general. As for these 49 days, the practices during all Sundays will be open to the general public for their participations with the following dates:

The Study and Practice of Buddhism Nowadays

In its more than 2500 years of history in its propagation, “Buddhism” has long been associated with folklores and local spirits while being spread through various local communities and cultures, which has thus secularized and distorted the real nature and authenticity of “Buddhism”, making it rather confusing in different contexts, and thus have been misunderstood by many people across the world. In this regard, what had gone wrong, and what can we do to rectify this situation?

One of the aims of “Buddhism” is to be in real contacts with local populations, in helping the poor and the sick, in giving them spiritual comfort, and in guiding them to do good deeds with kind-heartedness to all others. As far as the “breadth” of the Buddhist propagation is concerned, it is indeed quite a success, which is well-pleased and accepted by many, and thus deserves our great respect and praise with rejoice.

Yet, in terms of the “depth”  of the Buddhist propagation, we think that the wider Buddhist community across the world should still need to work hard and contribute more on Buddhist education, on such topics as: “how to train the ‘mental strength’ of Buddhist believers for them to cope with the ‘transitional period’ after death”, “how to propagate Buddhism in revealing its true nature and authenticity so as to clarify its true aims and objectives as taught by the Lord Buddha”, “how to put the Buddhist teachings into real practices, so as to be in line with the true nature and authenticity of what Buddhism has to offer to this modern world”, “how can the Buddhist practical training be conducted ‘right-to-the-point’”, and so on.

Ever since it was founded in 1998, the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) has been trying its very best, in using the correct methods, for both the “breadth” and the “depth” on the propagation of the Buddhist teachings, via its various educational programmes, for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings, which are, indeed, its major aims.

In Commemoration of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche’s Extreme Kindness to the Chinese People in the Chinese Soil

In fact, the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) was founded using the special name of “Dudjom” so as to commemorate, honor and repay the extreme kindness, compassion and wisdom of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche to the Chinese people all over the world.

While Ven. Lama Sonam Chokyi Gyaltsen (alias Ven. Guru Lau Yui-Che) went to Kalimpong, India in 1958-59 to meet with His Holiness, due to auspicious circumstances in His Holiness’ observations and visions, His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche had recognized that they were connected in their previous lives in the same mandala, and had thus met again as destined by the fulfillment of their past prayers. In this regard, His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche saw to it that Ven. Guru Lau would become one of His chief disciples.

In this regard, His Holiness also saw to it that it would be most beneficial to both the Dharma and to all sentient beings by conferring upon Ven. Guru Lau the most rare and precious “Zhitro Narak Dong Truk” transmission [including all the four empowerments (wang), oral transmissions (lung), personal guidance and oral pith-instructions (tri)] of the Kama, Terma and Dag-nang Lineages.

Furthermore, His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche had held Ven. Guru Lau as the one carrying His own line of teachings (that is, the Lineage Holder of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche), and that Ven. Guru Lau was also empowered by the blessings of the Lama, Yidam and Khandro to transmit these important and precious teachings and lineages to all suitable vessels. In this way, His Holiness authorized Ven. Guru Lau to teach all Vajrayana teachings to all people, especially to all Chinese people.

His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche thus specially appointed Ven. Guru Lau to be His Holiness’ Chinese Spiritual Representative in the Far East, as well as the “Chinese Master of Vajrayana Buddhism in the Chinese soil”. ( 「漢地演密教者」). This was a very special Title that has been personally bestowed by His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche to Ven. Guru Lau, in order to denote the very fact that Ven. Guru Lau was the first and only Chinese Master, over the last five hundred years, who had transmitted the most important teachings of Anuttara-yoga Tantra of Vajrayana Buddhism in the Chinese soil. It was, indeed, a very rare case in point that Ven. Guru Lau was the only Chinese Master who had received such a high acclaim, with such great esteem and high honor, from His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche ever since.

This has, indeed, shown that it was His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche’s deliberate, yet secret, intention to have His own important and precious teachings and Lineages to be upheld, preserved and transmitted by a selfless Chinese Master, at those times of difficulties, in order that these most rare and precious teachings, traditions and lineages will be able to continue on in the Chinese soil. Ever since, His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche had persistently, unyieldingly and continually gave His greatest encouragements, as well as in lending His greatest supports, to all of the Dharma activities of Ven. Guru Lau in the Chinese context.

Our Continuation of Ven. Guru Lau’s Solemn Vow, as well as Clean and Pure Samayas with His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche

Before his departure from Kalimpong of India, Ven. Guru Lau had vowed in front of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche to do his very best in spreading those most rare and precious teachings, traditions and lineages to the Chinese people, in order to repay the extreme kindness of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, as well as to fulfill the name of “Chokyi Gyaltsen” given to him by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, that is, to uphold the Victory Banner in all directions across the world, and turn the Wheel of the Holy Dharma, for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings!

This was the solemn vow, as well as clean and pure samayas, that Ven. Guru Lau had kept and maintained throughout his life with His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche ever since. After his return to Hong Kong, Ven. Lama Sonam Chokyi Gyaltsen had established Dharma centers in both Hong Kong and Macau, as well as four other Dharma centers and a monastery in Taiwan, so as to spread the teachings of Guru Rinpoche and of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche to the Chinese people in Greater China.

In order to fulfill the name of “Chokyi Gyaltsen” given to him by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, Ven. Lama Sonam Chokyi Gyaltsen had thus further spread those precious teachings to other suitable vessels in the West, such as the United States (in such cities as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York), Canada (in Vancouver and Toronto), France, Australia, and in some Southeast Asian countries (Singapore and Malaysia) across the world, for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings! [Please refer to “A Short Life Story of Ven. Lama Sonam Chokyi Gyaltsen (1914-1997)” for more details.]

In Upholding His Lineages and Traditions in the Chinese Soil, Ven. Guru Lau Had Held Us Accountable for the Continuation of Our Clean and Pure Samayas with Our Root Gurus!

It was in 1986, and again in 1996 (one year before Ven. Guru Lau passed away), that Ven. Guru Lau had twice asked Vajra Master Yeshe Thaye to continue in upholding his lineages and traditions of both the “Narak Dong Truk” and the “Dudjom Tersar” Lineages in the Chinese soil, so as to continue on in keeping the clean and pure samayas with His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, and in repaying the extreme kindness of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche to the Chinese people in the Chinese soil.

23 Guru Lau & Yeshe Thaye (1986)

In this regard, after Ven. Guru Lau had passed away in May of 1997, both Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye and Pema Lhadren had established the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) in 1998, in using the name of “Dudjom”, with the pure intention to continue on with Ven. Guru Lau’s sincere last wish in repaying the extreme kindness of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche to the Chinese people in the Chinese soil, as well as to continue on in keeping and maintaining the clean and pure samayas with both Ven Guru Lau and with His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche.

Furthermore, we are, indeed, most fortunate that our present Most Beloved Crowning Jewel (Root Guru) and Wish-Fulling Gem His Holiness Kyabje Chadral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche has also persistently, unyieldingly and continually given His greatest encouragements, as well as in lending His greatest supports, to all of the Dharma activities of both Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye and Pema Lhadren ever since the establishment of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) in 1998.

To this very end, both Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye and Pema Lhadren have been working very hard all along to continue on in keeping and maintaining their clean and pure samayas with their three Root Gurus, namely: His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, Ven. Lama Sonam Chokyi Gyaltsen, and His Holiness Kyabje Chadral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche, as well as to keep their vows and promises in the spreading of the Holy Dharma to all suitable vessels across the whole world, in order to be able to repay the extreme kindness of His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche to the Chinese people in the Chinese soil! We humbly pray, from the deepest of our hearts, that all of our sincere wishes and aspirations will be fulfilled and materialized, with the blessings of the Lama, Yidam, Khandro and Sungma, for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings, as limitless as the sky!

SARWA MANGALAM !

Solemn Declaration on the Misappropriation of the Name, Logo, Name Plaque and Products of the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong

The “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong has recently discovered that: there are some greedy and crooked persons, who act in the name of the Holy Dharma and only know how to use drums and bells for the “empowerment” ceremonies in pretending to spread the Buddhist Holy Dharma, but do not know how to explain the genuine Buddhist Holy Dharma in great depths. Out of their great jealousy in trying to prevent the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong to disseminate the genuine Buddhist Holy Dharma, they have thus misappropriated the name of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong by using the photo of our name plaque to put on their online store at the Taobao website in order to promote their own businesses at extremely unreasonable prices, and thus intend to defame us and to undermine the good reputation of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong. Please refer to the photo enclosed here.

Furthermore, these despicable crooked persons have further misappropriated both the design and the products of a Buddhist pendant (“a protection emblem of the Goddess Sitatapatra” made by our Association to help protect the Buddhist believers by wearing it) of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong, and has falsely claimed that it contains the ingredient of “Sky Iron” (meteoric iron, Tib. Thokcha, or in Wylie: gnam lcags) with the power of blessing, such that they could greatly mark up the price of this pendant from the original cost of only Hk$100 to Rmb$580 in order to earn a great profit. On top of that, they have again misappropriated and tampered with the contents of the journal “Light of Lotus”, published by the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong, in becoming their promotional description in order to make profits. Please refer to the two photos enclosed here.

Falsifying on the Pendant(1)Falsifying on the Pendant(2)

The negative nature of these hellish greedy crooked persons not only want to earn money, but they would seriously want to defame and destroy the good reputation of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong in order to prevent our Association from forcefully and directly lash out their indiscriminate acts in holding “empowerment” ceremonies so as to make profits and to cheat on the Buddhist believers.

Under the disguise in benefiting and blessing others, in the name of the Buddhist Holy Dharma, these greedy crooked persons have continually hurt the Buddhist believers by poisoning their minds in becoming more and more superstitious and greedy. And by making connections with these crooked persons, many Buddhist believers have unknowingly fallen prey to their vicious and negative magnetic fields. More importantly, by participating in these indiscriminate “empowerment” ceremonies, many Buddhist believers will most unfortunately and eventually be dragged down to be reborn into the three lower realms.

In order to prevent these greedy crooked persons from continually and massively held indiscriminate “empowerment” ceremonies to cheat on the Buddhist believers, the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong want to heartily advise all Buddhist believers not to fall into the traps of these fraudsters. In order to further pursue on the liabilities caused by these greedy crooked persons for this recent event, the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong will take legal actions as necessary. Thank you very much for your kind and serious attention!
