Dear Everyone,

I hope this short note finds you in good health and happy.  Thank you for joining in the Amitayus mantra accumulations for the Long Life for His Holiness’s, and for all the teachers from the Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, for all the lamas and for world-wide benefit at this crucial time. We successfully accumulated over 2 million Amitayus (Long Life Buddha) mantras with everyone’s great dedication and effort.   This moment is really important for all of us to engage in meditation and practice.  Every moment of your meditation is the medicine for someone else to save their life. So it is very important for us to come together as a sangha.  It is very remarkable and incredible to come together for this great cause.  Now vaccines are becoming available for COVID-19 and so I feel it’s important for us to practice Medicine Buddha.  Starting with the New Year, will accumulate Medicine Buddha mantras.  These mantras will be dedicated for the healing process and so that the medicine will strengthened to clear out the disease. Drikung Kyobpa Choling sangha will accumulate 1 million Medicine Buddha mantras and dedicate world-wide to free from this illness. Medicine buddha is the emanation of Lord Shakyamuni Buddha.  He appears, as the Medicine Buddha along with the 7 Sugata’s, in order to cure internal causes, desire, anger and ignorance, that result in external disease.  Thus, internal disease is due to previous karma and external disease is due to karmic results for which many sentient beings suffer through the karmic body of pain and suffering.  Medicine Buddha will clear both internal and external obstacles and quickly help cure from the disease. Medicine Buddha practice and mantra recitation brings the elements back into balance and restores health, long life and good fortune. 

We strongly request you to please participate in this practice.  We will have weekly practice and mantra accumulation online in Zoom starting on Sunday January 3rd.  You can also do at home and send in your accumulations bi-weekly to add to the group total.  When we do this all together, it becomes the truth of the sangha.  That means that whatever we wish for, will be fulfilled with precise and hearfelt dedication. Also, you can add your personal dedication to accomplish whatever your wish.

TAYATHA/  PANTSA DRI YA AWA BODHA NAYA SVAHA/  May all this be accomplished quickly through the power of Bodhicitta. 

Best wishes you for the New Year.  I always pray for each and everyone of you in my prayers for your good health, peace and prosperity, please take care and stay well and stay safe.

Your, Drupon Samten
