Guru Rinpoche Empowerment, Teaching
and Practice.
Orgyan Kalden Drendze Empowerment:
Initiation into the Activity Ritual of Guru Rinpoche,
Guide to the Fortunate.
This is the first time this empowerment is being given in the UK. The
Nuden Dorje Guru Rinpoche Empowerment is a special terma of Guru Rinpoche
Guru Yoga. The practice of Guru Yoga brings forth the blessings of the
Guru for the successful completion of the Vajrayana Path. The empowerment
and practice was revealed by the great Drikung treasure revealer Lho
Jedrung Orgyen Nuden Dorje. It is said that this practice is effective
in times of disease, sickness, famine, poverty and war when the teachings
of the Dharma would be in danger of destruction. In this practice one
is empowered by the Guru Rinpoche manifestations of the ten directions
and then engages in the healing, increasing and wrathful activities
of the Guru Rinpoche. This practice helps alleviate temporal obstacles
to spiritual practice and creates the conditions whereby ultimate realization
can be obtained.
Autobiography
Ontul Rinpoche is a highly regarded lama who has trained in Buddhist
philosophy and Tantric Rituals of the Kagyu and Nyngma Schools. The
core teachings of these schools, Mahamudra and Dzogchen, are direct
approaches and very accessible to western culture. He was born in Eastern
Tibet in 1950 into a family that traces back to the (pre-buddhist) times
of Bon Religious Leaders. In 1954 he was recognised as the incarnation
of Ontul by the 16th Karmapa, the reincarnated leader of the Karma Kagyu
lineage and Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, the reincarnated leader
of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. In 1959 he escaped to India and continued
the training of a young monk before moving to Ladakh, where his training
continued and where he later established a monastery at Tso Pema. He
travels with his wife. The translator, Samten has spent 4 years in Germany
and UK. He is a very good communicator in English as well as having
a strong background in Buddhist teachings.
