Best Wishes: Chotrul Duchen 2010

We send heart-felt prayers and all good wishes for your vigorous health, prosperity, happiness, and peace of mind in the year to come, with the knowledge that -- in accordance with our understanding and beliefs -- this will be multiplied ten million times on this most auspicious day, Chotrul Duchen, February 28, 2010.

The commemorated event stems from a circumstance in which the leaders of India's six principal philosophical schools challenged Buddha to a contest. Buddha displayed a different miracle each day for fifteen days, defeating his opponents, and inspiring many to embrace the Dharma. Today is reckoned as the final day of the fifteen.

The Condensed Hindrance-Averting Ritual
Jamgon Ju Mipham Rinpoche

MRA WAY SENG GE DAK GYUD JIN GYI LOB
Lion Amongst Orators, bless my mental continuum!
SRI KEG THAN TAY NGEN GYUR DU SOL
Please obliterate all spirit harm, hindrances,
bad omens, and negative signs!
GYAL PO'I CHAY PA PHAY KYI JIK PA LA SOK
Punishment by kings, the fears of opposing parties,
and so on,
TSAM DRU TSOD DANG GOL WA DOK TU SOL
Bickering, fighting, and contention:
avert them, I pray!

This was done by Mipham
