Hi guys, I just thought I’d share this amazing message from His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche as per the Garchen Institute email that was sent out to sangha members regarding the upcoming Yamantaka empowerment and Drubchen. I find this message incredible and very liberating.
“Tashi Delek to my Dharma friends,
This year whatever we put online on our YouTube channel is available for anyone’s participation, even for the Yamantaka retreat. There are no restrictions. Why? For the Buddha, there was no difference between nationality or religions because all sentient beings are really Buddhas, they are only obscured by temporary stains. When these temporary stains are removed then beings are actual Buddhas. It just depends on whether or not we have fixating thoughts in our mind.
Lord Jigten Sumgon had said that whoever grasps at any philosophical school is an ordinary person. Actually any philosophical school is just illusory because whoever has a mind has the Buddha within them. Therefore all sentient beings possess the cause of awakening and if they want to become a Buddha, they can. For this reason whatever is online or on livestream, is not restricted. Anybody can take whatever they want and look at whatever they want and for however long they want. I encourage you to do this. This is the Buddha’s instruction.” - Here is the link to the message and other info: https://garchen.net/annual-events/
