Tonight, Princess Roshana and her friends, Lily and Wang
Jie, joined us for a Guru Rinpoche Prayer when they paid a visit to Acho
Rinpoche at his home. After the prayer, Princess Roshana shared with us the
great news about her 8-year old son being recognized as a reincnnarnated master
(tulku) by H.H Dodrupchen; her son is actually a reincarnation of her late
grandfather, Gya Lama of Nepal. Her son has just been ordinated as a monk and
started practicing full-time at a monastery situated deep in a mountainous area
in Nepal. His enthronement ceremony will be held towards the end of this year
at the Bodnath Stupa. Princess Roshana invited Acho Rinpoche to attend the
enthronement ceremony, to celebrate this wonderful occasion.
Acho Rinpoche told us that the karmic connection between him
and Princess Roshana and her friends is very strong, otherwise there would not
be this meeting tonight. Several years ago, when Acho Rinpoche first met
Princess Roshana at one of the Tibetan Buddhism centers in Singapore, he
already knew that there was a very strong karmic bond between them. Last year,
Princess Roshana brought her son and daughter to Singapore for a leisure tour,
and she brought them along to meet Acho Rinpoche at his home too. When Acho
Rinpoche met her son, he felt greatly moved, for he knew that her son was his
fellow dharma brother in many past lives. That night, Acho Rinpoche told
Princess Roshana that her son was the reincarnation of her late grandfather,
Gya Lama. Gya Lama was the spiritual advisor to the King of Nepal then, and an
accomplished Buddhist Master of the Tibetan Buddhism. He married the sister of
the King of Nepal and contributed tremendously in the development of the
country including the propagation of the Buddhadharma. H.H Dodrupchen ordinated
her son and instructed Lopen Rinpoche from Bhutan, his heart son, to preside
over the enthronement ceremony of the little Tulku – Yangsi Gya Lama. As Lopen
Rinpoche happened to be in Singapore recently, Princess Roushana came to
Singapore to discuss with him the plan for the enthronement ceremony.
Acho Rinpoche advised us that the Buddhadharma is the most
precious thing in life, and the rest are not important in comparison. He wished
that we would cherish the precious Buddhahdarma and practise with vigor. Tulku
Yangsi Gya Lama is young in age but mature in his thinking and behavior; he has
developed a strong sense of impermanence, renunciation and bodhicitta (the
aspiration to help all sentient beings attain enlightenment) by now. He even
told his Chinese friends at an assembly held in Nepal recently that he is
destined to help the Chinese in this present life. Acho Rinpoche told us that
H.H Dodrupchen, the root guru of Princess Roshana, instructed her to marry her
Taiwanese husband in the past. So, the little Tulku was born and educated in
Taiwan, who has learnt the Chinese language well, thus paving the way for him
to be able to communicate with and help the Chinese in future. China had
experienced great pains for half a century, with the infamous Cultural
Revolution destroying many good value systems of the Chinese culture including
its religious beliefs, thus creating a current generation of Chinese who are
very much lacking in terms of good ethical values. The Buddhadharma can bring
out the innate beauty buried deep in our human nature, thus helping to create a
harmonious society exuberating with a deep sense of loving kindness, compassion
and wisdom. A China with a beautiful people is a key condition to her becoming
a new super power in the current era. Therefore, Acho Rinpoche is praying to
the enlightened beings for the most powerful blessing to be conferred to the
Chinese students, hoping that some of them wouldu attain enlightenment sooner
and help the rest of the Chinese walk the path to enlightenment.
Acho Rinpoche told us that the evil force is stronger than
the positive force in this degeneration age. Even the reincarnated Buddhist
Masters may go astray when misled by the evil force. Therefore, a good
education for the little Tulkus is very crucial. H.H Dodrupchen has appointed a
great teacher for Tulku Yangsi Gya Lama, in order to develop his potential
fully and let him take charge of the propagation of the precious Buddhadharma
in Nepal once again, for the benefits of the sentient beings. The Bodnath Stupa
was destroyed slightly by a major earthquake in 2015 and has only been repaired
fully recently. When the enthronement ceremony is held at this location, it can
inaugurate this stupa once again. Tulku Yangsi Gya Lama can help change the
fate of Nepal as a country, and bring great benefits to the sentient beings especially the Nepalese and Chinese. This world is
blessed with the presence of this little Tulku!
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
