MUSIC VIDEO 2 Hour Chanting: Long Life AMITAYUS Dharani in SANSKRIT; Dedicated to health of Garchen Rinpoche
Feature Contents
DEDICATED TO THE LONG LIFE of HIS EMINENCE GARCHEN RINPOCHE and all of our teachers. His Holiness Chungtsang Rinpoche requested world sangha to accumulate Amitayus Dharani and mantras for the benefit and long life and good health of Garchen Rinpoche.
His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche
Welcome. This recitation is offered as a golden thread of prayers for the long life, unwavering health, and radiant activity of our precious teacher, Garchen Rinpoche.
In the Mahayana tradition, the longevity of a realized master is not merely a personal matter; it is the manifestation of compassionโthe living link between the enlightened mind and our ordinary world. As we recite the Amitayus Dharani, we are not asking for mere existence. We are invoking the quality of life: the life of wisdom, the life of compassion, and the life that is free from the obstructions of ignorance.
Let us enter the sacred syllablesโฆ
