In March of this year, Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo received word that Orgyen Dorje Den was organizing the accumulation of 1,000,000 Vajrakilaya mantras for Venerable Gyaltrul Rinpoche. She immediately had the request posted on her blog, and students at her center, Kunzang Palyul Choling, contributed to this effort. Today word was received that this auspicious aspiration has been accomplished by Rinpoche’s students and others world wide. In the message received, Venerable Gyaltrul Rinpoche states, “”Thank you so much. This was not just for my life, but for the removal of obstacles of everyone.” and when his students offered to continue accumulating, his response was, “”Sure, why not? Why not do 100 million?” Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo has asked that her students join Rinpoche’s students in continuing the accumulations. Here is the email message from Orgyen Dorje Den:
Dear Sangha Friends,
We’ve done it!
With our September tally, our total is 10,174,615 Vajrakilaya Mantras!
Many thanks to all who, through faith and devotion to Gyatrul Rinpoche, have contributed to this collective effort. How wonderful for all the various sanghas to work together for one purpose!
Rinpoche was very pleased to hear the news, and said “Thank you so much. This was not just for my life, but for the removal of obstacles of everyone.”
We would like to invite everyone to keep going with Vajrakilaya recitations, informally and without a monthly commitment, to continue to benefit our guru and ourselves. To this, Rinpoche said, “Sure, why not? Why not do 100 million?”
We couldn’t agree more!
Thanks again,
Scott Globus & Angela Zaragoza
While Ven. Yangthang Rinpoche was at ODD for the Rinchen Terzod in February 2011, he was consulted about what practices would be best to enhance and extend Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche’s life and general state of health. He indicated that if 10 million Vajrakilaya mantras were accumulated in the next year that that effort may have a significant effect on Rinpoche’s life span, removing obstacles to his health and well-being. Surely this is an outcome we all wish for and here is a proposed method that we can contribute to and help make it happen.
Gyatrul Rinpoche gave this outreach effort his support as it will involve many of the sangha and will help him as well as remove obstacles to all of our lives and practice. He said “Excellent. Go for it. This clears everyones obstacles–it’s a collective karma anyway, so go ahead and begin”.
Please feel free to forward to other practitioners.
