Of
the ocean of termas which Guru Padmasambhava left for
our troubled world, the Drikung Yangzab cycle is the sole
terma which Guru Padma scripted as THE copper-coloured
scrolls. Most scripted termas are left in yellow-paper
scripts.
The Yang
Zab (The practices of the Very Profound Vision) is regarded
as supreme among all the Yanas--it embodies the very essence
of the tantric teachings. As a Dzogchen practice, it is
unique within the Drikung lineage, as it was revealed
by the Drikung Terton (hidden treasure revealer), Rinchen
Phuntsog and he is also the 17th throne holder of the
Glorious Drikung Kagyu Order.
Yangzab Drollo - the Secret Guru
practice of the Drikung Yangzab cycle from one of the most
esoteric-sealed sections in the cycle and a secret yidam
of many holy masters including the Great Fifth Dalai Lama.
The Outer and Inner Guru cycles have been bestowed in past
years. Most Ven Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche has compassionately
acceded to bestow this empowerment in Singapore on 01 Dec.
The highest
yoga tantra practice of Lord Amitayus from the Drikung Yangzab
cycle - a very rare and sacred, uncommon practice. Most
Ven Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche will bestow this empowerment
in Singapore on 2 Dec.
Most
Ven Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche will bestow the great empowerment
of precious, powerful Guru Padmasambhava for the first time
at Phuntsok Cho Ling (CAS) at Malacca, Malaysia on 04 Dec,
2013.
The
uncommon simultaneous practice of Great
King Vaishravana together with Lord Zambhala from the Drikung
Yangzab cycle - a powerful and effective practice for gathering
prosperity and resources for the practice of Dharma. Most
Ven Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche will bestow this practice for
the first time in SE Asia at Malacca, Phuntsok Cho Ling
(CAS) on 04 Dec.
The
Dzambhala deity is the embodiment of the perfect generosity
of all buddhas. Dzambhala has existed for inconceivable
kalpas. When Buddha Shakyamuni was born as a poor man,
a scavenger of wood, he practiced this deity's meditation.
As a r...esult,
he became a king. At that time he exercised the practice
of generosity, bestowing wealth upon others, and thus
he attained the first bhumi (the first of ten levels).
Likewise, by the practice of perfect generosity, all the buddhas in the past achieved the first bhumi and then gradually attained buddhahood. Because of this, Dzambhala is the father of all buddhas. During the time of Buddha's teaching, Vaishravana had one thousand sons, and among them Dzambhala was reborn as the supreme one. Buddha Shakyamuni said, "If one has not accumulated enough virtue, it is not possible even to hear Dzambhala's name." Anyone who recites the mantra will be a chosen one, will achieve a non-returning state, and will not be reborn in the lower realm. By the blessings of seeing his form and figure, one will not be afflicted by disease. Reciting his name will dispel all the poverty, the lower states of mind – discouragement, depression, etc. – and different kinds of pain in the body. There are limitless beneficial effects of reciting the Dzambhala mantra. - teachings by Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
