CAS's Esplanade
stint ( Singapore, 2003 ) with Richard Gere's
production
and the Drepung Loseling monks did some good
afterall
-- the breathtaking, grand hall housing over three
thousand
bodhisattva sangha.
____________
____________
Always, the Bodhisattva
never comes to the world alone.
The limiltless oceans of
bodhisattvas come in the forms of the great Sharpa Choje,
Geshe Wangchen ( Teacher of incarnation of the Dalai
Lama's Root Teacher ), our hundred monks from Loseling
Phara, the Abbot Emeritus of Loseling -Khensur Lobsang
Gyamtso, the three thousand Loseling monks and the
hundreds of the Buddha's bodhisattva sangha from
the surrounding monasteries belonging to Guru Padmasambhava,
Sakya Pandita and the great Gyalwa Karmapa.
Wood was cleared, piece
by piece, fan was swiped, bathrooms - sanitised,
medicine - replenished, refrigerator - re-stocked, crockeries
- de-aluminiumised ..... days over days till the
days were up and the more than ten thousand butter lamps
were lit, the over ten oldest ordained sangha (
one of whom having been ordained and the vows maintained
for 78 years to date ) were rubbed and massaged.
Oh yes, the Guru's goats,
too, ( saved from the sharp blades ) were fed with
chopped carrots and lovingly hugged.
Then, we have the happiness
to see the over 15 buffaloes ( saved from the hacking
choppers ) and supplying life-saving milky nutrition
( in these contexts, indeed ) to the precious sangha.
We were lucky to evade the alpha bull which was annoyed
by our offensive straying too close to his girlfriends.
May the officious and
time-eating rounds of meetings with big administrators
and saintly abbots bear meaningful fruits.
May our friends
@ CAS be blessed with meaningful and fruitful realisations from
their Dharma learning and practice.
May our Teachers live-long
and turn the Wheels of Dharma just like Lord Buddha.
May we faithfully serve
as the Dharma's apparatus ( this makes our human lives
meaningful and fruitful ) in whatever ways possible
and good.
May all beings be safe,
peaceful and happy.
"Om
Ah Hung Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hung....... !!"
With the blessings of "Guan
Yin Pu Sa", CAS offered more than everything to these
bodhisattva-
The Yudronma oracle is
pleased and generous to CAS and Achi showed Her golden-hued
body to us in Loseling Pompora House, the three hundred over
monks there making daily hours-long practice and offerings
to this activity-aspect of Vajrayogini. The incarnation
of the 99th Head of the Gelugpa tradition is back
and he, too, make for a lively and joyful bundle
and robes in front of precious Achi there.

The holy slides on CAS's homages
in the "Hidden Lands" of the exiled Tibetan monastic refugees
