Dolpopa’s stupa became famous throughout the Himalayan region and is revered as a “Seeing Liberation Stupa of One Hundred Thousand Buddhas.” Pilgrims believe that simply encountering the stupa creates a powerful connection to enlightenment. Traditionally it is said that:笃补巴的佛塔在整个喜马拉雅地区享有盛誉，被尊为「十万佛见即解脱塔」。
By the time the tour reaches Australia, o当巡回展抵达澳洲时，这场展览将投入超过 50 万澳元，其中 30 万澳元已用于神圣艺术的创造与制作。这大部分已由我们的全球学生支付。我们需要您的帮助来赞助制作这座高 1.8 公尺、宽 1.8 公尺的黄金时轮金刚坛城，它将长期安奉于利美佛学院，并最终安置在香巴拉净土。
The Rimé Institute developed Khentrul Rinpoche’s book series Unveiling Your Sacred Truth and the commentary the Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path over many years. As time went on, we have improved the editions. We had some early editions in our storage unit that would be of more benefit to sentient beings, so we sent out these early English language editions of Khentrul Rinpoche’s books to libraries and prisons throughout the English and Chinese speaking world
Why include prison libraries
The Kalachakra Tantra says that even those who have committed the 5 heinous crimes can learn to practice Kalachakra and take the initiation. Everyone has Buddha-nature and therefore has the potential to realize their own nature. We want to make sure that as many people as possible have access to these teachings either through a public library system or prison library system. Everyone who has interest and potential should be able to come into contact with the Dharma. Research also shows that people who come into contact with spirituality and religious training in prison are less likely to commit crimes once released and therefore less likely to return to prison.
How the public helped make this happen?
We offered these books for free, however we relied on the generosity of our donors to cover the shipping costs of the books. We have raised enough money to successfully sent out up to 300 books for this project with the majority of books being received in Australia, Canada, US, UK & New Zealand. Through Dzokden we are some of the first backers of a Compassion in Prison project in the USA working to connect both inmates and correctional officers to Dharma.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the project to make this possible. Because of your generosity, so many sentient beings are able to benefit from the Dharma.
I would like to say thank you, thank you, thank you so, so much all of you, whoever is participating Rime Institute’s activities, classes, translations, and even donators and everybody.
This is very, very meaningful. So please be aware this is incredible meaningful and beneficial for everybody. Why? Because the Dzokden International’s, the goal is perfect peace and harmony of Golden Age. So that is whether people are aware or not, it is everybody’s heart desire in the most absolute, the goal, you know. So this is incredible profound, yet very, very practical. Each human being really needs that. The whole world need that. And also eventually this is benefit all sentient beings.
So no matter how we are small, or we are not incredible wealthy yet, or your donations, or your participate, no matter how small and you are contributing these oceans of profound activity. So please be aware of this and rejoice. And I say again, Happy New Year, and we’re going to have great year 2021 because we done incredible merit. So this is going to be source of perfect, each individual’s life, and our goal of the Golden Age for the world.
We have had a magnificent long weekend of volunteer activities at the Land of Shambhala accomplishing many tasks that coincided with Saka Dawa.
We completed the prayer flag raising at the top of the hill whilst listening to prayers from Zhamtang for the local deities and dharma protectors.
Beside the entrance driveway, we raised 16 vertical prayer flag poles in the ground which flicker with brilliance in the wind.
Also lining the entrance driveway behind the prayer flag poles we planted, mulched and protected eight of our red maple feature trees which will have a vibrant red hue in the spring and summer months.
We finished off the weekend with many prayers, a smoke offering and sealed the merit with a dedication prayers to conclude the auspicious weekend.
A big thank our fabulous volunteer sangha who worked tirelessly to make this all happen.
Want to get involved? Our upcoming Land of Shambhala volunteer days are scheduled every two weeks from June through to September with the next one being on Saturday 20th June 2020. Please check out our event calendar for further details and to register your interest in joining us.
