Accumulate Long Life Mantras for H.E. Yongdzin Rinpoche
From January 22–30, 2020, Triten Norbutse Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Yungdrung Bön Academy of Higher Studies. Among the many special events and activities planned is a January 27 Thenshug, a mandala offering for the long life of Bön’s most senior teacher and lineage holder, His Eminence Yongdzin Lopon Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, as we celebrate his 95th birthday.
Thenshug literally means to “stay everlasting,” and is a ritual performed to support and extend the lifespan of an important master or practitioner. The Thenshug is also an occasion for the students to express their devotion toward their master, who keeps the Buddha’s teaching and spreads it untiringly, and to fulfill all his wishes.
The Thenshug will take place at the Triten Norbutse, on January 27, 2020. Since so many Western students have a heart connection with Yongdzin Rinpoche but are not able to travel to Nepal, Ligmincha International is organizing a series of activities online and at our centers around the world.
Please Accumulate Long Life Mantras
Beginning now, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche encourages all practitioners to accumulate recitations of the Long Life Mantra for Yongdzin Rinpoche: SO DRUM A KAR MU LA TING NAM Ö DU MU YE TSE NI DZA. Our accumulated mantras will be offered to His Eminence by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche (who will be in California) on the day of the Thenshug ceremony. Our hope is that we can offer at least 10 million Long Life Mantras to Yongdzin Rinpoche.
