The signs of degenerate times are even clearer.
Effects of war and pandemic continue to torture the whole world.
Extreme weather screams of environmental tragedies.
The future does not look good for this world of ours.
And yet this is no time for us to weaken.
The real solution lies in each of us.
Let us turn the hatred into kindness.
Let us open our eyes to interdependence and realise the futility of disunity and greed.
Let each of us light a lamp of wisdom and compassion in our hearts.
And turn this world of ours into a paradise of kindness and harmony.
No one else – only each one of us can do this.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year of healing, harmony and helping each other with courage, confidence and clarity.

By Ringu Tulku Rinpoche (in Tibetan, English and German).

སངས་རྒྱས་བྱང་སེམས་རྒྱ་མཚོའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།།
བདག་གིས་དུས་གསུམ་བསགས་པའི་དགེ་བའི་ཚོགས།།
ལྷག་བསམ་རྣམ་དག་སྨོན་པའི་ནུས་མཐུ་ཡིས་།།
འཇིག་རྟེན་ཁམས་འདིར་འཁྲུག་རྩོད་ནད་ཡམས་སོགས།།
ཉེས་ཚོགས་ཀུན་ཞི་བདེ་སྐྱིད་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས།།
ཕན་ཚུན་བྱམས་པའི་སེམས་དང་ལྡན་གྱུར་ཅིག། །།

By the blessings of Enlightened and Compassionate ones,
By the power of my positive actions of three times,
And my prayers of pure aspiration,
May wars, conflicts, epidemics
And all other maladies dissolve in this world,
And may the earth and all who live on this earth enjoy the abundance of wellbeing,
May all learn to live lovingly with each other.

Durch den Segen von Erleuchteten und Mitfühlenden,
Durch die Kraft meiner positiven Handlungen aus drei Zeiten,
und meine reinen Wunschgebete,
Mögen Kriege, Konflikte, Epidemien
Und alle anderen Leiden in dieser Welt sich auflösen,
Und möge die Erde und alle die auf dieser Erde leben
die Fülle des Wohlergehens genießen,
Mögen alle lernen, liebevoll miteinander zu leben.

The passing of His Holiness the 4th Dodruchen Rinpoche

His Holiness the 4th Dodruchen Rinpoche (1927-2022) entered into parinirvana yesterday at around 4pm in his retreat at Lukshama near Gangtok in Sikkim. He was one of the main lineage holders of the Nyingma School of Buddhism and especially the Longchen Nyingthik set of teachings. He is regarded as one of the most respectable teachers of Tibetan Buddhism.

He was personally one of my main teachers and was our refuge and protection. His presence in Sikkim was one of the main reasons for us to settle there. I remember all the kind and wise ways that he helped us in various ways.

Once when an insect entered into my ear he woke up in the middle of the night and found a way to get it out. He was the same way to all the people who came to get his help. Buddhists and non Buddhists all went to get his blessings in Sikkim. We would go to him when a child couldn’t sleep at night and for any major and minor needs. The community now feel like they have lost their protector.

We pray for a swift return of his reincarnation who would be similarly kind and wise.

New Year Message 2021

My mother passed away a week ago.
I miss her deeply but not sad.
68 years I basked at her loving presence.
This is the time to celebrate that fortune.
She only thought of what to give.
Never lost her genuine smile and good heart.
Even in our worst days
She never let any visitors to leave
Without a cup of hot tea.
I wish to thank all who sent me love
And kind messages
I wish you all a wonderful New Year
With health, wealth and harmony
And lots of kindness.

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 →
