Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche 

– Teaching on the Phagma Nyingtik practice:

“Standing before Amita Buddha, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara vowed to 
help all sentient beings in the three worlds, especially those in the 
realm of desire. In order to achieve this goal, the bodhisattva can take 
various nirmanakaya forms. For example, he may appear as a guru, yidam, 
dakini, Dharma protector, or even a king or queen. Whatever the outer 
form, the inner resolve is the same: to lead all sentient beings to 
Buddhahood.

 

Many major sutras stem from this vow or are direct teachings given by 
the bodhisattva himself, such as The Heart Sutra.  Avalokitesvara 
manifests to help sentient beings at any time and in any place. Even his 
tears are beneficial, and the twenty-one forms of Tara were in fact born 
from a single droplet.  

 

In the spirit of Avalokitesvara, these forms of Tara unfailingly respond 
to the needs of sentient beings. Among them, White Tara is considered 
especially effective during this degenerate time, when the life span of 
sentient beings is short. 

 

Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo discovered the very profound Deathless Arya Tara 
teaching. Not only is this teaching recognized as a treasure by the 
Nyingma and Kagyu schools, but even accepted by the more finical Sakya-
pas!   

 

Individuals who practice this teaching will definitely receive Tara’s 
blessings and wisdom. Done as a group practice, the effect is even more 
powerful. As Guru Rinpoche said: “It may be difficult for an individual 
to lift a boulder, but as a group effort, it can be achieved with ease.”

 

Anyone who feels a connection with this teaching may attend the puja. 
Participants who attend for even a short time or who later reflect on 
Tara are guaranteed to attain Buddhahood in the future. Furthermore, 
contributing to the puja by cleaning the puja area, or donating flowers, 
incense, lamps, or any other kind of offering will establish a 
connection with this teaching and plants seeds of good merit.”

 

Further information:

This drupcho** will be conducted by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Khenpo 
Sonam Tashi and ten lamas from Bhutan. All these lamas are graduates of 
the nine-year Buddhist studies programme at Rinpoche’s Buddhist college 
in East Bhutan.

The Phagma Nyingtik practice particularly emphasises cultivation of 
wisdom and longevity, and it was a main practice of H.H. Dilgo Khyentse 
Rinpoche. 

 * Any contributions towards the cost of holding this puja (which 
includes renting a venue in a central location and inviting eleven monks 
from Bhutan) are most welcome.   Funds received over the costs will be 
offered to Dzongsar Institute.

 

** A drupcho is an eight-day puja that is conducted from morning until 
evening.
