Happy 85th Birthday to our most beloved Garchen Rinpoche
=> Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/58tyzJozIO0
 
Two years have passed since
Rinpoche retired from touring
the world teaching dharma.
 
Whenever we think of Rinpoche,
who is far away in the U.S.,
we are together.
He has never forgotten us.
 
Rinpoche radiates his love to
all disciples and beings
through online teachings.
 
In the virtual world,
he reaches us around the globe,
wherever he is needed.
 
With a rainfall of blessed teachings and retreats,
Rinpoche continues to guide us on the path
to the bright light within our hearts.
 
With this foundation of dharma,
those who follow Rinpoche's example
can generate more love for their family, friends and strangers--
bringing more compassion to the world.
 
Despite being advanced in years,
Rinpoche steadfastly performs pujas for the deceased,
and fulfills our requests for online dharma events.
 
New disciples from all over the world
are able to form a connection with Rinpoche;
many have taken refuge from afar.
 
With the purest heart,
Rinpoche blesses and prays for
each new disciple,
as though they were kneeling right before him.
 
In his daily life,
Rinpoche cares for the wild animals,
offering food and water to bees, pigs, skunks etc…
treating them as his family.
 
A pond was built near the Stupa.
It is the only water source in the area.
Many animals travel far to drink there.
 
All of us sentient beings are fortunate children,
living under Rinpoche's loving care.
 
During this challenging year,
as the whole world suffers through a pandemic,
Rinpoche resides in retreat most of the time,
blessing us deeply and providing guidance to us all.
 
Applying our Lama's words in everyday life,
giving rise to strong compassion,
we can become a light to those around us
who endure difficult times.
 
May our wishes be fulfilled
that we may become like him,
bringing love, compassion, and warmth to others.
This is the greatest birthday gift we can offer to Rinpoche.
-----
May all benefit.
