Grand Prayer Puja for World peace 2014
The Grand Prayer Puja for World Peace was initiated by the late Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche in Year 2001. It has since been successfully held annually at Nangchen, Qinghai, China (Except for Year 2008). Each year, the Grand Prayer Puja for World Peace attracts Sangha members from all over to gather together praying for World Peace and Well-being. Last year, the 13th Grand Prayer Puja was attended by 6000 over Sangha members and 100,000 over devotees.
By making an offering to the Sangha members, gathered for such an auspicious event, will help one to generate limitless merits and create good connections with Dharma. Such an act is praised in the sutras as a way to generate limitless merits: The act of offering a sip of water to a Sangha member will enable one to receive more merits than all the water in the oceans.
In 2014, the statues of White Tara were offered to all the attending Sangha members.
The Grand Prayer Puja for World Peace will be held during 3-9 November 2015. This year, Palchen (Ba Jin) Rinpoche made the aspiration to make 10,000 Statues of Four-armed Chenrezig (15cm in height) and to offer the statues to all the attending Sangha members. Chenrezig (Guanyin, or Avalokiteshvara) is renowned as the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Four-armed Chenrezig is commonly practiced in all the great lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. The merits accumulated from making, offering, prostrating and seeing a statue of Four-armed Chenrezig are vast and tremendous, the negative karma created from many lifetimes will be eradicated, and the meritorious seed will be planted towards obtaining the fruit of enlightenment. Furthermore,with the statue of Four-armed Chenrezig as an object of reverence and offerings, whenever Sangha members do prostration, make offerings, meditation and practice, the merit will continuously increase thus the donors to make the statue can skillfully accumulate vast merits. Palchen (Ba Jin) Rinpoche from Gongya Monastery is the organizer of the Grand Prayer Puja for World Peace. With his pure aspiration and collective effort, Statues of White Tara, Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, Buddha Shakyamuni, Yellow Ritual Robes, Red Sangha Robes and Dharma texts have successfully been offered to the Sangha members during the previous Grand Prayer Pujas.
During this year’s Puja, similar to the previous years, offerings of meals to Sangha members, lamp offering, obstacle-clearing puja and puja for the deceased will be made. Those who would like to rejoice at this grand Puja with a pure intention, may make offerings, dedicating to those family and friends you wish for obstacles to be cleared or for good rebirth of those who have passed away.
Offering a Statue of Four-armed Chenrezig (15cm in height) - $40 per piece.
Food Offering - $15 per set (for seven days).
Lamp Offering - $5 per lamp.
Obstacle Clearing - $5 per name.
Prayer for the deceased - $5 per name.
The closing date for the collection of contribution is 31 Oct.
All Dharma Brothers and sisters, you may wish to make these auspicious offerings from your heart, and may all sentient beings benefit from the limitless merits generated, may there be peace and harmony in the world and may Buddha Dharma live long and remain strong.

Palchen (Ba Jin) Rinpoche
Palchen (Ba Jin) Rinpoche was recognized by H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche and the late Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche. Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche had this disciple close at his heart and gave him many empowerments, oral transmissions and precious teachings. He received the Bodhisattva Vow from H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche. He also received the Tantrayana teachings from Adhi Rinpoche and other great teachers. Palchen (Ba Jin) Rinpoche went into a three year retreat to meditate on the Six Yogas of Naropa. He has also achieved a high deep understanding of Mahamudra after receiving pointing out instruction from Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche.
Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche prophesized that Palchen (Ba Jin) will be his representative and that he will bring tremendous benefit for Dharma teachings. One day when Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche, in his aspiration to locate the reincarnation of his teacher, Sonam Zangpo Rinpoche, asked Jamgon Tai Situ Rinpoche about the whereabouts of his reincarnation. Tai Situ Rinpoche answered that the reincarnation of Sonam Zangpo Rinpoche is none other than his close disciple, Palchen (Ba Jin), who will be able to benefit Buddha Dharma greatly.
Following the words of his teachers close to his heart, with the support of overseas and local devotees, Rinpoche has led the Sanghas of Gongya Monastery to organize the Grand Prayer Puja for World Peace successfully every year. Fulfilling his teacher’s wishes, Rinpoche has completed the construction of the Prayer Hall for the World Peace, rebuilt the retreat centre which has been destroyed by a landslide, established the shrine hall of Dzogchen nunnery, successfully completed the construction of the Guru Rinpoche’s Palace, continued building of the Buddhist Institute and rebuilding the Yang Ling Nunnery. Rinpoche has painstakingly set up a charitable school for the orphans and the children in poverty in 2002. Ten over years since it was set up, the study and living conditions for the children have been improved greatly; currently 150 over students live and study there. Upon the requests of his overseas students, Palchen (Ba Jin) Rinpoche occasionally goes to Southeast Asia to spread the Buddha Dharma and bring benefit to whoever is connected.
Gongya Monastery
Gongya Monastery is located at a very auspicious location in Nangchen County, Qinghai, China between two holy mountains. The great terton, the 1st Chokgyur Lingpa said that the land is the mandala of Lord Avalokiteshvara and the holy land of the Vajravarahi. One day, when he was travelling past the Monastery, he saw Lord Shakyamuni Buddha appearing above the monastery surrounded with a thousand Buddhas and many Bodhisattvas, emanating boundless light. In the space above the monastery, he had the vision of the Buddha activities of all the reincarnations of His Holiness Karmapa, including His Holiness the 17th Karmapa and Tai Situ Rinpoche’s minds are connected.
Gongya Monastery has been one of the ten main monasteries in the area. It is a Karma Kagyu Monastery, upholding both Kagyu and Nyingma traditions. The present Gongya Monastery has several buildings including the Prayer Hall for the World Peace, The old Shrine Hall, a Buddhist Institute, Guru Rinpoche’s Palace, three retreat centres, two nunneries and a charitable school. The monastery has nine teachers including the reincarnation of the late Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche, Palchen (Ba Jin) Rinpoche, Benpa rinpoche, Pema Rinpoche, as well as 300 over lamas, 200 over nuns and 100 over young lamas.

公雅寺
