His Eminence Lati Rinpoche, Spiritual Teacher and Advisor of Drophenling (Gelugpa) Singapore, is already in Singapore for a series of Dharma activities.
 
This coming sat (25 oct) till sun (27 oct), His Eminence will be conducting a series of excellent and beneficial special pujas and empowerments for the benefits of Singaporeans and all mother sentient beings.
 
Do take a look at the website's program list: http://www.drophenling.com/ and see if you are interested.
 
I personally faithfully believe that they are indeed very beneficial and excellent activites. And especially on Monday, the Matreiya Buddha's Grand Puja is especially suggested and recommended by His Eminence Lati Rinpoche for us to create an imprint and connection with Matreiya Buddha so that we will become the future Buddha Matreiya's disciples when the time has ripened for the future Matreiya Buddha to appear on earth. I heard that for the Matreiya Buddha's Grand Puja, Drophenling has only prepared limited sets of about 1000 of offerings, so if u are interested, u might consider to register earlier on the first day on Sat. Of course, whichever it is, let's rejoice for all the Dharma activities and efforts!

 

Sakya Tenphenling activities
 
Next, in the coming December, the Sakya Tenphenling (or called Sakya Buddha Sasana Society or Sakya Temple in Pasir Ris Drive 4), they will also be having very beneficial and excellent activities for all. Such as the obstacles-clearing Mahakala Puja, Long Life and Merit-increasing White Tara Puja and Guru Rinpoche Puja; and also empowerments. All by Rinpoche and Monks from the Sakya-Dzong lineage/tradition. The Dec-Jan program is not out yet, hopefully out by this or next week, so do check out at the website later: http://www.sakyatenphelling.org/. They are also having Medicine Buddha's Grand Puja this week with a special Sand Mandala presentation. So if u are interested, check out the schedule.

 

OM Retreat by Drikung Kagyu
 
And of course, next coming up will be Drikung Kagyu's Om Retreat in Dec. Sure your have already known about this. But do encourage your friends to join in. For the benefits of sentient beings and the current chaotic world, let's join efforts to help in the Dharma ways. And as all of us know, combined efforts in chanting Om Mani Padme Hum, is oneof the best ways to help.
 
Life is impermanent. But how much do people or even ourselves remember that and ponder on that. Most people concentrate too much on acquiring possessions, money, etc on this life; and when the time comes for us to part and leave, how much possessions can we take along with us? .........Only white and black karma.
 
Hope to see your around somewhere in the coming months! :). Sure you will see me around if i see u around;)
 
Wish you well, happy and peaceful,
 
Peace and Blessings,

Tenzin Dhadron:).
 
Om Mani Padme Hung
May All Be Well, Happy & Peaceful

 

 

 

Medicine Buddha is a Buddhist deity associated with the health and well-being of ourselves and others.
 
During this practice, we make heartfelt prayers that everyone will be healed of all suffering and sickness. Medicine Buddha is one of many buddhas who have attained the state of perfect enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. The enlightened mind has eliminated all negativity and perfected all positive qualities.
 
Medicine Buddha's blue sky-colored holy body signifies omniscient wisdom and compassion as vast as limitless space and is particularly associated with healing both mental and physical suffering.
 
Making a connection with him, practicing meditation, reciting his mantra or even just saying his name helps us achieve our potential for ultimate healing.

 

 

In Tibetan Buddhism, every practitioner of Vajrayana tradition requires lam, yidam and protectors. The main functions of dharma protectors are to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining spiritual realizations, as well as to foster the necessary conditions for their practice. Dharmapāla can be Buddhas, Bodhisattvas or Dharmarajas (Damchen in Tibetan). Only the dharmapālas that have realized shunyata are seen as an object of Buddhist refuge.
