Consecrating the Largest Outdoor Vajrasattva Statue

A Journey to the West L64 Consecrating the Largest Outdoor Vajrasattva Statue

In this illuminating episode of A Journey to the West, Khenpo Sodargye explores significant dharma connections made during the entourage’s stay at Tashi Choling. Expanding on His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok's pure land aspirations, Khenpo explains His Holiness’s humorous yet profound perspective: he decisively chose to attain rebirth in Sukhavati (Amitabha's pure land) because from there, a practitioner gains an all-access passport to visit Guru Rinpoche's Copper-Colored Mountain and all other pure realms effortlessly. The teaching also dives into rich Nyingma history, recalling how the first Dudjom Rinpoche and his dakini consort, Rigdzin Wangmo, prophesied and consecrated the very grounds of Tashi Choling by burying a treasure vase. The session concludes with His Holiness performing a consecration for the area's largest outdoor Vajrasattva statue, using the occasion to urge all practitioners to diligently recite the Vajrasattva mantra to purify their negative karma year by year.
