Guru Rinpoche 8 Manifestations

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MORE MANTRAS.

After the success of the Guru Rinpoche Drubchen in Mundgod in April, we are happy to announce that a new 100 million Guru Drubchen started August 3, 2011, organized by Drikung Charitable Society at Thupten Shedrup Jangchub Choeling, Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in the Tibetan settlement of Bylakuppe in South India. This Drubchen is being led by the great retreat master, Lama Yeshe of the Drikung lineage.  Ayang Rinpoche requests all the Buddhist practitioners associated with Amitabha Foundation world-wide to contribute to this practice and send to us (NY@amitabhafoundation.us) their recitations of the Guru Rinpoche mantra* made after August 3, 2011 through the end of the Drubchen (approximately August 15th) to help accumulate the 100 million total.  Here is an explanation of the meaning of the mantra.  As with the April Drupchen, we dedicate our prayers to world peace and that all beings may live in harmony, and with the aspiration that the environment of our mother the earth may be protected from destruction.
