His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa |
|
His Holiness Jigme Pema Wangchen, the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa, is the spiritual head of the Drukpa Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. A great practitioner of Mahamudra and Dzongchen, he studied the philosophical traditions of all the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism under the guidance of his principal guru, the late Kyabje Thuksey Rinpoche (1917 - 1982) and many other great masters. Despite being responsible for the lineage, His Holiness trends untiringly to give teachings, advices and initiations that will enable his students to practice and progress according to the Drukpa tradition. At present, he is responsible for numerous Drukpa lineage monasteries in the Himalayan region as well as dharma centers around the world, most notably in Europe, Asia and America.
The impact of His Holiness's simple and direct teaching is profound and has inspired a great many people throughout the world in their spiritual pursuits. Those who have already the good fortune to meet him feel, above all, personally and deeply touched by his great wisdom and compassion.

|
|
|
| In conjunction with Chinese New Year, H.E. Kyabje Khamtrul Rinpoche will conduct Gya Nen Lhabsang which is a Grand Smoke Puja that Guru Padmasambhawa used to pacify the spirits of Tibet when he went there. Gya Nen Lhabsang has numerous benefits, as it is an offering to guru Buddha, deities, dakinis and mahakala, and gift to all the beings, it increases luck and attracts or fulfill what you wish for; and by giving to what you owe in your previous lives to harmful spirits, you pay back the karmic debts and remove harmful peoples. It is also a purification of our outer dirtiness and inner negative karma. According to the Vajrayana tradition, a major smoke puja is a must before embarking on new business, projects or any other new ventures to ensure a smooth and auspicious path ahead. |

| Presently, there are more than 400 nuns at Druk Gawa Khilwa Abbey's various chapters in Kathmandu, Nepal and Ladakh, India. Without the support of many benefactors and volunteers, many of them would not have the opportunity to a modern education integrated with Buddhist philosophy enabling them with the proper tools to practise Dharma in their everyday life through helping people in need. As the chance to practise Dharma is the most precious offering of all, you have made this offering of Dharma a very precious opportunity to these nuns. |
