SUMMARY:Tenshug Long Life Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, 8th October 2023 for a ceremonial long life Tenshug offering to request our lineage lamas to live long and continue their enlightened activities for the benefit of all beings. \nThis highly auspicious ceremony is dedicated: \n\nFor H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s new incarnation to have long life and manifest great Dharma activities just like in his previous lives.\nFor the long life of H.E. Kensur Rinpoche Lobsang Phende.\nFor the long life of H.E. the 7th Panglung Oracle (Ven. Choji-la).\nFor the long life and good health of all members\, supporters and attendees.\n\n  \nEvent Details\n\nOct 8\, 2023 (Sun)\n10.00 am – 1.00 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat\nFree. RSVP here as seating is limited.\n\n  \nA Disciple’s Responsibility\nDuring this degenerate age\, lamas of Kensur Rinpoche and Choji-la’s generation\, traditionally trained and pure in practice\, are far and few in between. Their knowledge and attainments are a precious healing resource sorely needed in a world full of anger\, pain and suffering. \nLamas of such high calibre have full control over their birth and passing. They manifest solely for the benefit of sentient beings. When the karmic causes for that benefit begin to wane\, they can choose to enter clear light and take rebirth in a younger\, newer form in order to continue their work under more suitable conditions. \nThus as practitioners and supporters of the lineage\, it is our responsibility to keep creating the causes for these rare beings to remain with us. One such method is by offering a Tenshug Long Life Ceremony. \n  \nA Powerful Offering\nDuring a tenshug\, students make fervent requests to the lama to remain longer with us. In order for a tenshug to be effective\, the lama to whom it is being offered must formally accept the tenshug ritual. Once the lama accepts the tenshug\, he will extend his life in order to continue turning the wheel of Dharma. \nThis particular offering was requested by Tsem Ladrang\, on behalf of all members of Kechara and all disciples and followers of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche. We are fortunate that Kensur Rinpoche and Choji-la have humbly accepted our offering of a Tenshug Long Life Ceremony. \nThis auspicious ritual will be performed by representatives from the main monasteries of our lineage\, including Shar Gaden\, Serpom\, Phegyeling and Segyu\, and they will be joined by qualified lamas and geshes from around the world. \n  \nBenefits for sponsors and attendees\n\nExtends lifespan\nAverts life-threatening obstacles\nIncreases the efficacy of medicines and medical treatment\nStrengthens the connection to the guru + lineage lamas\nCreates causes for the lama to remain\nCreates causes for Dharma to grow\nContinuous stream of merits as a result of the lama’s on-going activities\n\n  \nHow to join\nAdmission to the puja is free and everyone is welcome. To ensure we have enough seating for all guests\, please RSVP your attendance here. \nIf you are attending\, you can actively participate in the ceremony by making a personal tenshug offering to H.E. Tsem Chocktrul Rinpoche\, H.E. Kensur Rinpoche and Ven. Choji-la.  \nHere are some suggestions of what you can offer based on tradition: \n\nBody\, speech\, mind representations of healing\, long life or increase e.g. images\, statues\, pendants\, scriptures\, books or stupas relating to Amitayus\, White Tara\, Namgyalma\, Medicine Buddha\, Shize\, Gyenze\, etc.\nBody\, speech\, mind representations based on the lama’s personal practices e.g. images\, statues\, pendants\, scriptures\, books or stupas relating to Lama Tsongkhapa\, Vajrayogini\, Manjushri\, Dorje Shugden\, and many other deities.\nAuspicious items e.g. the Eight Auspicious Signs\, the Seven Royal Emblems\, the Eight Auspicious Substances\, mandalas and other auspicious symbols of abundance and growth such as butter\, rice\, tea\, fruits\, flowers\, jewels\, precious stones\, etc.\nSymbolic representations of Dharma activities e.g. thrones\, seats\, throne brocades\, carpets\, robes\, ceremonial hats\, ritual implements\, offering vessels\, offering items\, etc.\nDirect contributions towards Kensur Rinpoche and Choji-la’s health e.g. medical care\, medicines\, supplements\, healthy foods/beverages\, medical equipment and so on. It is important that these offerings are suitable for their health condition. For this reason\, it is recommended to donate towards items pre-approved by their medical care team.\nOfferings of practice and transformation e.g. taking vows\, committing to a retreat\, going vegetarian\, saving lives\, making a promise to abandon negative habits for a period of time\, etc.\n\n  \n\nWhat to bring\n\nKhatas\nMinimum: 3x for Tsem Rinpoche\, Kensur Rinpoche and Choji-la\, or more for other high lamas. \nKuyong\nMinimum: 3x for Tsem Rinpoche\, Kensur Rinpoche and Choji-la\, or 21x for all Sangha. \nPersonal tenshug offering\n\nOptional but recommended.\nYou will have the opportunity to present your personal offering to Kensur Rinpoche and Choji-la as part of the tenshug puja.\nThis can be a physical item based on the suggestions provided\, or a donation towards Kensur Rinpoche and Choji-la’s medical and healthcare needs.\nIf you wish to make a donation\, bring it with you and offer it during the ceremony. Please write how you wish your donation to be used so we can allocate it correctly.\nPhysical offerings should be presented with a khata OR beautifully decorated to the best of your ability.\nIf you are not able to attend in person\, we can present your offerings on your behalf.
