Avalokiteshvara Jinasagara Empowerment Completes Teachings for Mongolians. Members of the audience wearing ritual blindfolds during the Avalokiteshvara Empowerment conferred by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, HP, India on December 5, 2014. Photo/Tenzin Choejor/OHHDL His Holiness explained that the empowerment he was about to give related to Avalokiteshvara in the context of Highest Yoga Tantra. The lineage derives from Vajradhara, Tilopa, Maitripa and Jangsem Lodro Rinchen. His Holiness said he received it from Trijang Rinpoche, who received it from Tadrag Rinpoche, who was given it by Purchok Jhampa Tsultim Gyatso, tutor to the 12th and 13th Dalai Lamas. The author of this rite wrote that Tibet is a land in the care of Avalokiteshvara, so a Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Avalokiteshvara would be complete. Towards the end of the session His Holiness gave the reading transmission of a prayer he has written for the swift return of Kalka Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche. The prayer was requested by the Jonangpas and others. He again remarked that he had known the previous Jetsun Dhampa since he was ten years old. When speaking about him the other day, he mentioned that he had encouraged him to take his next birth in Mongolia. At the end of four days of teaching, three of which focussed on the first six chapters of the ‘Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment’, His Holiness concluded: We’ve come to the end of the teaching; now do the practice. But practice according to your own capacity. Don’t start out by aiming too high; follow the stages of practice in an orderly manner. Maybe we’ll meet each other again in Mongolia next year.” dalailama/news/post/1203-avalokiteshvara-jinasagara-empowerment-completes-teachings-for-mongolians
