Project Founder

Our kind root guru Garchen, presiding master over the hundred buddha families, protector of the world, Wish Granting Jewel Konchog Ngedon Tenpe Nyima Chokyi Sengge Palsangpo Chog Thamche Le Nampar Gyalwe De, dedicated his entire life to fill his heart with the awakening mind of kindness and compassion. With unwavering courage he has engaged in extraordinary and vast enlightened activities in all the directions of the world in order to care for tameable sentient beings without bias and with great love. He performs these vast enlightened activities through his view, reflected in the Ganges Mahamudra; his meditation, reflected in the Prayer of Kuntuzangpo; and his conduct, reflected in the 37 Practices of Bodhisattvas. We all know that a single drop of his nectar words, or a single smile radiating from his kind heart, will surely bring inconceivable benefit to fortunate disciples and sentient beings now and in future times. It is therefore truly necessary to preserve the wheel of pure enlightened activities of the golden line of incarnations of this great master. Having pondered the significance of this, I approached H.E. Garchen Rinpoche and conveyed my wish to launch “The Mahasiddha Garchen Teachings Preservation Project” in order to compile the master’s enlightened deeds with the intention to assemble a flawless, comprehensive and accurate archive that is easily accessible, and should consist of videos, pictures, texts, and audio materials. With great love Rinpoche granted his approval and the project was launched.

I sincerely request the related dharma centres, dharma sisters and brothers from around the world to join in this endeavour by sending us any of Rinpoche’s exquisite activities embodying his view, meditation and conduct such as empowerments, vow ceremonies like the refuge vows, retreat practices and so forth, in video, picture, text, or audio form.
