Tonight, we did our
annual prayer to the Year God at the beginning of a Chinese New Year under the
guidance of Acho Rinpoche. After which, Acho Rinpoche explained that there is
no such practice in Buddhism including the Vajrayana; he allowed such practice among
us simply because it is part of our Chinese tradition. Next, he mentioned that
he just attended the annual Singapore Chingay Parade last night. This was a
mega project done by Dharma Brother Nah for many years as part of his job, and
his last before his retirement. Dharma Sister Zhen told us that the sky was
clear during the presence of Acho Rinpoche at the parade but soon after he
left, the rain started to fall.
Acho Rinpoche informed
us that Jigme Khenpo of Nyingma Dzogchen has just passed away. Dharma Sister
Xiu shared with us a recent dream of hers, in which she saw Acho Rinpoche
transmitting a Mahā-pratisāraḥ Practice. She also dreamt of Grand Master
appearing at her home, telling her that he was looking for Acho Rinpoche. Acho
Rinpoche said, “I have nothing.” He advised that others should not just blame
XX for the huge problem created today, as XX is just a collective karma created
by the group. It will be more important for one to focus on resolving the
problem than being too personal about it.
Dharma Brother Shao
shared with us that when he was dedicating the merit of his practice to the
late Jigme Khenpo before the latter passed away, he had a vision of Jigme
Khenpo lying in his sick bed. However, the body of Jigme Khenpo appeared in
golden color and was seated in a meditation posture, with many emanation bodies
of Acho Rinpoche appearing around and protecting him. Shao also told us that he
had a vision of Jigme Khenpo and a huge stupa appearing in the spiritual space
during our prayer tonight.
Acho Rinpoche told us
that Jigme Khenpo had been delivered into a higher realm of existence. The
latter has attained a higher level of spiritual accomplishment and aspired to
assist Acho Rinpoche and Konde Rinpoche in their spiritual endeavors. Sadhu! Sadhu!
Finally, we ended our
prayer by reciting the names of the Buddhas under the guidance of Acho Rinpoche
and dedicated all merits to the sentient beings - may all sentient beings be
happy, free of sufferings and attain enlightenment swiftly.
