Dearest Dharma Brothers and Sisters, We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every participant, from different countries, for your kind supportive response and great love towards Venerable Shangpa Rinpoche.
Within a short time of uploading our appeal, many pledges drifted into Rinpoche’s blog. It is so very inspiring and delightful to see Venerable Shangpa Rinpoche’s blog being flooded with the names of participants with the pledges to dedicate the merits of reciting a minimal of 100,000 times Mother Tara’s mantras towards Rinpoche’s well being.
All of us may have come from different countries or places, but we have one heart and one thought and that is to pray for the well being of our Guru. That thoughtful heartfelt pledge of good aspirations would not have been able to manifest if not for the wonderful quality of your pure devotion towards your Guru.
The birthday of Venerable Shangpa Rinpoche, is indeed a joyous day for all of us, as all the compassionate ones have granted us our aspirations, which we might have been prayed for, day and night, since many life times, or perhaps, as long as from the beginingless time.
“Everyone wished me longevity and to turn the wheel of dharma. But I feel that in life, we do not have much choice. Yet, aspirations are important. They work inevitably and eventually so I think they may have some effect and influence to our lives.”------Venerable Shangpa Rinpoche

Likewise, through the collective devoted recitation of the mantra of the Mother of all Buddhas ( great Mother Tara) in these times, the vast merits accumulated would definitely reap the positive results of our prayers towards Rinpoche's longevity, good health and well being as well as the accomplishment of his noble activities for the benefit of all beings. In addition, this practice would also bring much blessings and benefit to oneself and all sentient beings.
Let’s us rejoice with those who have participated in this pledge and we encourage and welcome more dharma brothers and sisters to join us in this meaningful and meritorious act.
Therefore may all of us, the extremely fortunate ones who are being infused and tinted with the sweet fragrance of our humble Guru’s good qualities, with one heart and mind, in this auspicious occasion, recite the mantra of Mother Tara together with aspiration prayers for Rinpoche’s longevity. May his lotus feet be firm and may Rinpoche turn the wheel of profound Dharma ceaselessly. May Rinpoche also ceaselessly and compassionately showers his blessings upon us and guide us and all sentient beings, without exception, to the state of ultimate blissfulness – the perfect enlightenment!
Karmapa Khyenno!
