    His Boundless Wisdom and Compassionin Helping and Upholding the Genuine HolyDharma

    There is the sixth incarnation of His Eminence KathokSitu Rinpoche, who is also the grandson of His HolinessDudjom Rinpoche II, that His Holiness Chadral Rinpoche

    is taking care of. When the tulku was born in 1976,Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche II had asked Kyabje ChadralRinpoche to go to the hospital to sprinkle the holy waterand bless the baby, saying that the baby is the incarnation(tulku) of the fth Kathok Situ Rinpoche. Hence, after HisHoliness Dudjom Rinpoche II had passed away in 1987,His Holiness Chadral Rinpoche saw to it as his duty andresponsibility to take care of the sixth incarnation of HisEminence Kathok Situ Rinpoche, on the behalf of HisHoliness Dudjom Rinpoche.

    especially when there are so many holy places in

    India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim that His Holinesswould prefer to stay in these places;

    (d) there are so many meritorious ones in the

    mountains, as well as many Dharma practitionerswho are practicing in the variours retreat centers,

    all of whom would want His Holiness to staybehind to be with them all the time for Spiritual

    Advices.

    Unless there are strong and very special reasons,such as the freeing of sh and animals, it is the styleof Rinpoche not to go away to other far-away places

    and countries.

    His Holiness Collected Works

    On the excellent explanations that this Noble Masterhas composed, in response to requests by faithful

    disciples, His Holiness writings are related to the

    transmissions of sutras, tantras, and treatises; His

    Holiness style conforms to grammar, logic, andreasoning, and His Holiness induces understandingby adding elucidation from the pith instructions. These

    contain refutations to criticisms, histories of spiritual

    centers, collections of praises, direct instruction,the cycle of the oral lineage of the Great Perfection,

    catalogs, the history of Buddhism, ritual, directionsfor performance of ceremonies, advice for intensive

    meditation, practice of enlightened activity, dance,measurement for mandalas, etc., music, and the

    subjects of three elements of ritual, making tormas,

    wind instruments, percussion instruments and so

    forth.

    Recently, His Holiness Chadral Rinpoche is building

    a library in his place of residence, Tashi Gang retreatcenter, so as to preserve, collect and re-edit some of

    the rare manuscripts and collections of the preciousteachings. In short, His Holiness works contain all

    the true characteristics of treatises that are both well-

    His Holiness Has Never BeenContaminated by Any Worldly Concerns

    In this way, His Holiness Chadral Rinpoche does his

    great activities without any kind of attachments andto any kinds of worldly concerns. Thus,His Holiness

    deeds have never been ooded by riches and wealth,

    frightened by the ames of power, contaminated byspoiled offerings, left to the tender mercies of fame

    and positions, involved in the disputes within theSangha community, nor erred by heated debates.

    Everyone knows that His Holiness will only stay

    around in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim, and that

    he has declined the invitations to go overseas to theWest, Taiwan and other places. There might be a few

    reasons to account for His Holiness decision: that

    (a) there are already so many lamas and rinpoches

    in those places, and so there is no need for HisHoliness to go there;

    (b) in order to test the sincerity of those who want toreceive teachings from His Holiness, they should

    take the journey to come and see His Holinesstoshow their respects to both the Teacher and the

    Holy Dharma,and not the other way round;

    (c) His Holiness always love Mother Nature,

    written and enduringly valuable. His earlier and later

    works can be collected into four to ve volumes, at thepresent moment, as His Holiness has always beenvery strict on his own works. Similarly, His Holinesshas been very strict in allowing others to translatethe important works of the Holy Dharma into otherlanguages.

    Manytimes with his help and support in

    upholding the right Dharma,Withgratitude, we bow down to the Holy

    Saint who has boundless wisdomand compassion for all sentientbeings,

    Toprotect the young by upholding theVictory Banner of golden lotus,

    His style of gusty wind will blow awayobscurations and stop all disputes!

    Concluding Remarks

    His Holiness Chadral Rinpoche has told us, time andagain, that all Dharma practitioners alike have toalways keep their samayas (vows)pure and clean, asthis is the most essential and important condition ifone is to achieve any attainments while practicing onthe Vajrayana teachings.

    Again, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche II had advised

    us of its importance in his Mountain Retreat asfollows: It has never been said that you have tokeep the samaya perfectly with important Gurus whohave many attendants, who are rich, powerful andprosperous, but that there is no need to keep it withmodest Guru who take a humble position, the beggar-like yogis; whichever the case, you must understandthe crucial points of advantages and risks, since toremain as dull as an old horse wont work. This need

    to keep the samaya, is it for the Gurus benet or foryour own? Deeply recollect yourself and think thisover carefully, as when grinding medicine. If its for theGurus benet, then you can forget it right away; but ifits not, then theres no point in throwing ashes uponyour own head.. At all times there are only threethings to be considered: the Dharma, the Guru andsentient beings.So do not contradict your intentionsby your actions. Dont compete with those who bearthe trappings or the names of yogis or monks. Biteyour lip, control your mind. This is extremely important dont play the fool.

    The whole life of His Holiness Chadral Rinpoche is sofull of insights and practical meanings for all Dharmapractitioners. It also helps to clear away countlessdoubts, obstacles and it stops many disputes anddebates. As a real life case study, His Holinesslife story has plainly and clearly shown us the realmeaning of what genuine Dharma practice is all about,as well as what we should adopt and what we shouldabandon. There will be no more uncertainties!
