On the auspicious occasion of the 35th birthday of His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, I would like to offer homage and express our heartfelt greetings to His Holiness on behalf of myself and all the Bodhicharya sangha.

We pray that he may live a long and healthy life. May all his vast and beneficial activities and aspirations for the world, humanity, environment, dharma and Tibet be effortlessly and swiftly accomplished.

May we be able to see him soon in person and guide us and lead us to a better world and better life.

Rager Ossel, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche and Ger Reinders – Brussels 9th April 2019

Rager Ossel or Karma Gyurme was a close friend of mine and I knew him for over 40 years. He often used to come to Sikkim to see HH the 16th Karmapa. He was a devoted student of the Karmapa and his devotion never wavered all through his life. He served the HH the 17th Karmapa also in many ways including as a Director of Karmapa Foundation Europe.

He drove Karmapa in Europe and also in USA. The 16th Karmapa told him not to become a monk but serve the Dharma and people through his training and expertise in computer technology. He started the company InTouch more as a mission than a business and was always ready to help people in whatever way possible. Continue reading →

On the Fire Monkey New Year
I wish you a heart felt Tashi Delek.
Next year this time may we meet again
With smiles on our face
And hearts full of joy.

May the goodness spread wide
May the world be filled with compassion

May all these wishes come true
That I made with a pure heart.

ཤར་ཀ་ཐོག་དགོན་དུ་གསན་བསམ་རྫོགས་པར་མཛད།།
མཁན་ངག་ཆུང་མདུན་ནས་གདམས་ངག་རྡོ་རུས་གཏུགས།།
གནས་འཆིམས་ཕུ་སོགས་སུ་སྒྲུབ་པའི་རྒྱལ་མཚན་བཙུགས།།
མགོན་གྲུབ་པའི་དབང་ཕྱུག་སངས་རྒྱས་རྡོ་རྗེ་མཁྱེན།།
ཟས་ཤ་ཁྲག་སྤངས་ནས་སྲོག་བསླུ་གྲངས་མེད་མཛད།།
ལས་ཆོས་བརྒྱད་སྤངས་ནས་བྱ་བྲལ་བརྟུལ་ཞུགས་འཆང་།།
ཆོས་བཤའ་མ་དེ་གང་ཡིན་ཁྱེད་ཀྱིས་གསལ་པོར་བསྟན།།
ཁྱེད་རིག་འཛིན་རྒྱ་མཚོའི་དབུས་ན་ལམ་མེར་གསལ།།
བྱ་བྲལ་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་ཞི་བར་གཤེགས་པ་ཐོས་ཕྲལ་རི་མགུལ་སྤྲུལ་མིང་པས་དད་གདུང་གིས་རྗེས་དྲན་དུ་ཐལ་ལོ།།

You mastered all the studies at the Monastery of Kathok.
You grounded the Instructions into experience with Khenpo Ngakchung.
You accomplished those at Samye Chimphu and various retreats
The master of Sidhas, Sangye Dorje please take care of us.
You gave up eating meat and saved countless beings
You gave up eight worldly concerns and became a true Chatral.
You showed us what true dharma practice really is.
You shine bright amidst the oceans of Vidyadharas.

These words of devotion escaped me when I heard the sad news that Chatral Rinpoche had passed away in Nepal.

Kanchenjunga

Gazing at the golden peak of Kanchenjunga
In this glorious winter morning
I feel what a blessed life I am living
And what a wonderful world we have here.

May the New Year bring peace and joy
May there be no fear and hatred
May the earth be saved from degradation
May we find a way to live in harmony and kindness.

སྤྱི་ལོ་༢༠༡༦ དགའ་བས་བསུ།
ཉི་གཞོན་གྱིས་བསུས་པའི་སྔ་དྲོའི་ཆར། གྭངས་ཆེན་མཛོད་ལྔའི་གསེར་མདོག་གི་རི་རྩེ་ལ་བལྟས་པས། ངའི་མི་ཚེ་འདི་ཅི་འདྲའི་བདེ་སྐྱིད་ལྡན་པ་དང་། འཇིག་རྟེན་འདི་ཅི་འདྲའི་མཛེས་སྡུག་ལྡན་པའི་སེམས་ཚོར་ཞིག་སྐྱེས། ལོ་གསར་པ་འདི་ཞི་བདེ་དང་བདེ་སྐྱིད་ཀྱིས་ཕྱུག་ཅིང་། འཇིགས་ཞུམ་དང་ཁོང་ཁྲོ་མེད་པར། གོ་ལ་འདི་ཉམས་ཉེས་ལས་བསྐྱབས་ནས། མཛའ་མཐུན་དང་བརྩེ་སེམས་ཀྱིས་གནས་པའི་སྨོན་ལམ་ཞུ།། རི་མགུལ་སྤྲུལ་སྐུས་སྒང་ཏོག་ནས་ཕུལ།

Happy Losar!

sheepབཀྲ་ལ་ཤིས་པའི་རྭ་ཅོ་མཁའ་ལ་གཟེངས།།
ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པའི་བལ་འཇམ་ས་ལ་འཁྱིལ།།
བདེ་ཞིང་སྐྱིད་པའི་འབར་ཤས་རི་གླིང་གང་།།
གཡང་མོ་ལུག་གིས་ཁྱེད་ལ་དགེ་གྱུར་ཅིག།

The horns of auspiciousness touch the sky.
The wools of prosperity swirl on the ground.
The bleats of happiness resound the valleys.
The year of Sheep may bring you all the goodness.

We are all gathered in Bodhgaya,
The Karmapa and thousands of us.
We pray here day and night;
We resolve to work towards our aspirations:

May each of us help all beings.
That we may free them from all problems.
That we may bring them lasting and true happiness.
That we can share all our good fortune with all beings.
That peace may prevail over all the world.
That all violence and atrocities may end at once.
That all beings may be kind to each other.

There is a presence of kindness.
There is a feeling of peace.
There is a joyful atmosphere.
This is, to me, the most wonderful celebration.
A celebration of peace, joy and kindness towards all, and each other.

I celebrate the New Year with these aspirations.
Let us all celebrate the New Year with these aspirations.

Happy New Year 2015

Tibetan New Year of Wood Horse

With each year passing
I realize how precious the life is.
With each day passing
I realise how fast the time moves.
Do we have time to waste
In being nasty to each other?
Isn’t it wiser to make our day nice
By being just kind towards each other.
Why not start on this auspicious day,
The New Year of the Wood Horse.

Live Compassionately – toward yourself, the environment, & all beings.

With greetings from

Ringu Tulku
