The Annual Drubchen will be from April 18 to May 2, 2011 at Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery, Dechen Choeku Ling, in Mundgod Tibetan Settlement. All the monks, khenpos and rinpoches will be accumulating 1 billion Guru Rinpoche (Vajra Guru) mantras. Presiding over the drubchen will be His Eminence Choeje Togden Rinpoche, from Ladakh.
This year the prayers are dedicated especially to the people of Japan and to all of humanity, that there may be world peace, that all beings may live in harmony, and that the environment of our mother the earth may be protected from destruction.
Ayang Rinpoche requests that all the Buddhist practitioners and monasteries in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and those associated with Amitabha Foundation world-wide, contribute to this practice and send us (NY@amitabhafoundation.us) their recitations of the Guru Rinpoche mantra to accumulate the 1 billion total. Mantras may be accumulated and the totals sent in daily between April 18 and May 1.
The Guru Rinpoche (Vajra Guru) mantra is OM AH HUNG BENZA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG.
Listen to Ayang Rinpoche chant the Vajra Guru Mantra. Here is an explanation of the meaning of the mantra.
