The GYALWANG DRUKPA CALLS FOR AN END TO RACISM

I am very glad for the public outrage against police brutality and prejudice. Driving these protests are the undeserved killing of black people (and even sometimes white people), inequality, injustice, false news reporting, unemployment, the poor handling of the COVID crisis –- this is a moment in history like the 60’s anti-war protests in America. People cannot take this way of living anymore. Who could tolerate abuse like this?

We all came in on different ships, but we’re all in the same boat now.

„I urge you as the President of the United States, to be a leader not just for Americans but for people around the world…. When you help Americans choose compassion and wisdom over bitterness and hatred, the world will become safer. When you give communities a reason to vote and to participate, you empower the world. When you promote justice for all, the world will prosper. The vast majority of people – no matter how different – want to live peacefully and thrive economically as neighbours and partners. We look to places like America as an example of that wish. And my wish for you and your presidency is to convert that vision into a reality.“

The resolution paid tribute to the Gyalwang Drukpa as a world-renowned humanitarian, environmentalist, and champion of gender equality, recognizing his efforts to provide relief services to tens of thousands in the Himalayas following the devastating 2015 earthquake in Nepal; to protect against soil erosion and support clean air through his One Million Trees project; and to empower, educate, protect, and inspire girls and women in the Himalayas and around the world. Other U.S. administration officials were also in attendance of the birthday celebration in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Auszug:

„It is said that my mother did not experience any pain or difficulty at the time of my birth. My mother is kind-hearted, compassionate, very devout in her spiritual practice and has deep-seated devotion to Buddha Amitabha. She has done one hundred million recitations of the Amitabha mantra, complete with generation and completion process. From the age of thirteen years she renounced the world, did the preliminary practices and mind training, clearing the doubts through listening and contemplating the meaning. Having done meditation and applied it properly to the mental continuum, she experienced external and inner signs and heats as described in the texts, and also had visions of practice deities. She also has a pure vision of all the traditions and Gurus.

My beloved mom, who lives her entire life following the Dharma, was the first who taught me about kindness, love and compassion. She has been holding my hands, nourishing my mind with positive thoughts and watching me with so much care so that I would never fall off track. Today, she continues to hold my hands to walk the right path, with positive motivation to benefit all beings. She constantly reminds that there is no perfect enlightenment if enlightenment is only for oneself. I love my mother not only because she is my mother and she loves me unconditionally but also because she sets herself as a good example for her child, i.e. me, to follow.

My father, Zhichen Bairo Rinpoche, has been giving me full support and encouragement for my entire life, for anything I wish to do, but with only one condition, that it must be motivated by the altruistic wish to benefit others. He never fails to remind me that genuine happiness for oneself must depend on others‘ well-being. I was born at the holy Lotus Lake (Tso Pema) in Mandi, North India, just at the time when my father was performing the Vajra dance as „Guru Tsokye Dorje“ or „Guru Lake-Born Vajra“. He had requested His Holiness the late Dudjom Rinpoche to allow him to do this part of the ritual. Later on as I grew up, he would often playfully tell me, “While I was dancing as Guru Tsokye Dorje you were born in a corner of the lake.” That is why I sometimes use the name „Lake-Born Vajra“.
