To all the friends, students, devotees, and well wishers of H.E. Choden Rinpoche around the world, Geshe Gyalten would like to share the wonderful news regarding the reincarnation of our precious guru, H.E. Choden Rinpoche.
This past June 15th, Geshe Gyalten had the great fortune and honor to have a private meeting with H.H. the Dalai Lama in San Diego. The Dalai Lama confirmed to Geshela that our most precious guru, H.E. Choden Rinpoche, has reincarnated. The Dalai Lama also believes that the new reincarnation of H.E. Choden Rinpoche is extremely auspicious and powerful.
His Holiness kindly advised Geshe Gyalten to instruct all of Rinpoche’s students to recite Chanting the Names of Manjushri in order to create the causes and conditions for the successful identification of Rinpoche’s unmistaken reincarnation. His Holiness explained that he engaged in this practice himself, in order to recognize the reincarnations of his two late tutors.
Therefore, Geshe Gyalten kindly requests that all students, devotees, well wishers, monasteries, temples and Awaking Vajra Dharma Centers around the world recite Chanting the Names of Manjushri as much possible in order to help recognize the unmistaken reincarnation of our precious Guru, Choden Rinpoche. It is also very beneficial to recite Rinpoche’s name mantra and the Prayer for the Swift Return of His Eminence Choden Rinpoche, written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Rinpoche’s name mantra and downloadable copies of the prayers to recite are below.
Geshela will give the oral transmission of Rinpoche's Name Mantra and Chanting the Names of Manjushri, Wednesday, June 28, at 7pm. This is the only opportunity for the transmission before Geshela leaves on a teaching tour for several months. You can recite on your own without the transmission, but the transmission is a great blessing, as Geshela himself received it from Rinpoche. We will recite the prayers as a community most Sunday afternoons, starting July 9, 2017.
