Dzogchen Shira Sing Buddhist University (Tibet)

Last night i heard that one of the Masters of H.E. the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche's Master passed away physically at the age of 91 in India, Dzogchen Monastery. There is a Fire Puja conducting in Dzogchen Manastery, India. Today, i was searching for this Master's name as i could not heard clearly over the handphone voice from India. Incidentally, i found this sister website of the Dzogchen Monastery in Tibet, and this respected Dzogchen Shira Sing Buddhist University at Tibet. This famous monastery of Vajrayana Tradition, Nyingma School in Tibet is venerated for its Buddha-Dharma education. Among with many others living Lama/Rinpoche teaching in different parts of the globe, Kunde Rinpoche and Kunga Rinpoche were trained and graduated with 'Khenpo' (Doctorate) from this Dzogchen Shira Sing Buddhist University. The Venerable, H.H. Dzogchen Kyabje Pema Kalsang Rinpoche is the one of the living great Nyingma Master, residing in Dzogchen Monastery, Tibet: http: //www.dzogchenmonastery.cn/ It is rejoicing to find this monastery's site compassionately included free download on teachings, video and audio materials, including selected prayers recited by Kyabje Rinpoche! i personally like the rich vocal prayer recitation. I have heard some 'miraculous' happenings of this courageous Kyabje Rinpoche. Another one special Master, Dzogchen Khyentse Rinpoche, whose compassion to people has affinity to meet him may display in playful childlike style, enlightening to some, but may also raised the eyebrows of others who prefered oxthordox approaches - this may have indeed recorded some living oral accounts of Rinpoche's Zen strategies to different individuals. But i do not find Rinpoche's photo displaying in this site - a reflection of a truely free individual style of beyond convention, and detachment over worldly fixed conceptuals of eight winds?

My heart aching again, today i read news of earthquake happened in Myamar (Burma). Namo Amitabha. Feeling helpless to these recent mother nature protests, it is indeed relieving for my heart to find and playing one of the playlists in this site's audio prayer recitations by HH Kyabje Pema Kalsang Rinpoche, "Prayer to Reduce Natural Disaster" - May the prayer recitations transmitted in this site be shared with all sentient beings of recent earthquake victims in Japan and Myamar, and all sentient beings in the universal. May the mother earth be peaceful.

In Search of One's True Self

Last night I was contemplating on the teaching of rebirth by the Buddha after a short recitation of Heart Sutra and the aching news of the impact of earthquake to Japan. Then a thought arose: it is great blessings for those who have been born and living in a country whom a Rinpoche (Living Buddha) has taken rebirth based on the teaching of Vajrayana Tradition's Bodhisattva vow - momentarily, my mind was rejoicing in the collective merits of those human beings probably takes aeons of good virtue of accummulation? Then a Nyingma Dzogchen Master's name appears in my mind - Acho Rinpoche from Singapore.
This evening after my dinner, despite the fact i had been taking too long break for my research study, and need a little self-push to go back to read current academic literature, my heart felt strongly i wanna visit Rinpohe's blog to read his teaching or contemplation, i am amazed! - it is the latest posting  by one of  his students (correction), the time that this humble teacher spoke narratively of 'seeing' his True self - This is one of the living proofs on the teaching of Enlightenment is possible for human beings to attain with practices on the perfection of six virtues (paramitas) and realized the non-self (emptiness).

In Search of One's True Self is the realization of non-self?
How many of us sentient being could see beyond our physical eye? I used to laught at myself i cant even remember everything vividly what i did yesterday -unless they are 'extraordinary' events!

谢谢上师，顶礼上师，愿上师永久住世。
阿弥陀佛！Amitabha

Healing my aching heart (2)

i did a refelction of healing my aching heart at my research study blog recently. Lately the problem of life and sudden death news have been boggling my mind and aching my heart. The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011 is another 'sad' news of environmental disaster! When i read the compassionate message of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama ends with "prayers of recite the Heart Sutra for one hundred thousand times were being organized in Dharamsala for this purpose":

http://www.dalailama.com/

it is very touching and pragmatic approach of healing an aching heart - spiritual gift.
From hereon, thus i recite the Heart Sutra (心经) once a day (at least) and 'May the merits be transfered to all sentient beings'.

Incidentally, March 13 is the second memorial anniversary of my late beloved mom, i am going to do my prayer chant of 'Chenrezig Saddhana' (四臂观音仪轨), lit a candle at my Buddha shrine and dedicate merits to all sentient beings...May all sentient beings be peaceful. May the merit arising from our thought of constructing a Buddhist stupa to commerate my late parents, late eldest brother, and past ancestors be shared and transferred to all sentient beings. - Thank you and Sadhu to my teachers: Konde Rinpoche and Khenpo Kunga Tashi Rinpoche who inspired this thought.
