During each break time, after interviewing the disciples, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche would approach to the area especially designed for bathing the Buddha and joyfully hold up the scoop while letting the water flow on the statue of the baby Buddha. Then he would greet and say “Thank you” to volunteers and Dharma friends. Great Bodhisattva always practices what he preaches so the disciples can learn the importance of accumulating the merit and wisdom continuously and apply the teachings to daily lives.
When the afternoon session of the first day was about to finish, H. E. Garchen Rinpoche came to the hallway and stood straight with gratitude, ready to welcome the leading master Gathog Rigzin Chenpo Rinpoche as he left the shrine hall. H. E. Garchen Rinpoche trotted to welcome Gathog Rigzin Chenpo Rinpoche and took his hands to give blessings on himself. H. E. Garchen Rinpoche then grabbed Chenpo Rinpoche’s bag pack and wanted to carry for him cheerfully and playfully. These two Bodhisattvas showed respect and humbleness to each other in a way that touched all who had the great fortune to see. It is a marvelous example for us.
菩薩行誼不是經典理論,是真真實實的以生命實踐!
The activities of Bodhisattvas transcend all statements on the scriptures and commentaries and must be carried out in our daily lives!
