As the Dudjom Treasures drew to a close at Rigdzin Ling, Rinpoche said that in years past he had not known if he would have the opportunity to offer these profound treasures. Now inspired by the sincere interest on the part of so many dedicated practitioners, he has decided to offer an extraordinary series of empowerments next year, the Rin-chen Ter-dzod.
The Rin-chen Ter-dzod(Treasury of Precious Termas) is one of five major collections–the so-called "Five Treasuries." These collections were compiled by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro T'haye (1813- 1899), one of the greatest Tibetan lamas of the nineteenth century; he also authored a significant number of the texts found in these collections. As Kongtrul's student and biographer, Naysar Tashi Chhop'hel notes in his index of Kongtrul’s collected works, "while one could never have the opportunity to practice all of these transmissions on a formal level, still to receive these teachings of sutra and tantra even once gives great purpose and meaning to one's existence as a human being in this lifetime."
At the same time, Rigdzin Ling would like to offer courses in Vajrayana Studies including Buddhist Philosophy, t’hangka and mural painting, and Tibetan Language Studies for the beginning and intermediate student. Padma Tenzin and Karma Wangchuk, two master t’hangka painters from Bhutan currently in residence at Rigdzin Ling, will teach t'hangka and mural painting in the context of the development of the Iha khang which, in the Vajrayana tradition, is the focal point of such arts. Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso, a fine scholar who currently teaches at Palyul Namdroling Monastery in Southern India, and was commended by His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his excellent scholarship at the Tibetan Institute in Sarnath,India, has been invited to offer instruction in the Middle Way (Madhyamaka) philosophical school.
The empowerments and courses will be offered over a two to three-month period, during either the summer or fall of 1992. The dates and schedule will be announced in the next issue of Windhorse. For further information, call Maile Wall at Rigdzin Ling.
