Lama Zopa Rinpoche has been in the United States for the last three weeks, staying at Kachoe Dechen Ling, his home in Aptos on California’s central coast. On September 28, Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Dagri Rinpoche, who was in California offering teachings at Land of Medicine Buddha, went out on a local pier to bless all the sentient beings in the ocean.
While in California, Lama Zopa Rinpoche regularly goes to the ocean with specially made Namgyälma mantra boards that are lowered into the water to bless all the beings. You can read more about the Namgyälma mantra and blessing the animals in the ocean on Mandala.

Dearest spiritual friend and guide, Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche, you are so precious to us in so many different aspects. From so many angles in life, do you benefit us constantly with no break, no rest, no sleep.
Dear Lama Zopa-la, we are so grateful for your presence in this planet. We are so lucky to be able to share this space and time with you.
Since the beginning, you have dedicated your life fully to improving peoples’ spiritual lives, even though I’m sure you would love to spend many years in a Lawudo cave deep in meditation. Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and guide us towards our inner potential.
We know how each and every action you do is dedicated to helping sentient beings – every thought, every breath; every sip of water you take is dedicated to sentient beings. We are so lucky to have you in our midst. You inspire us to be better people, and your presence gives us motivation to follow your example. You are constantly helping so many sentient beings from so many different dimensions. It is amazing to see your work in this world.
Please stay with us for as long as it takes all sentient beings to reach enlightenment. We are willing to follow your advice and work hard to accomplish your dreams, which, of course, are always focused on benefiting in the greatest way, in this life and the next.
We all thank you so much from the depth of our hearts; we wish you success in all of your vast visions present and future.
Lama Zopa-la please live a long life. And rest a bit when you can.
Thank you for guiding us relentlessly – without rest, without tiring.
Thank you for helping us purify, for sparking interest into investigating our own egos and ignorance.
Thank you for making us see how mistaken we are.
Please continue helping sentient beings, and live a long life, with no obstacles.
Thank you, Rinpoche, for your kindness and dedication.
We love you Lama Zopa-la.
Thank you so much.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche has been commenting very specifically this year about the need for FPMT students to actualize the lam-rim teachings and achieve realizations. Rinpoche’s main wishes are to organize a special group of lam-rim retreatants and to encourage others to follow a year-long lam-rim meditation schedule:
”Now what is needed are people who will sacrifice their lives, as they did in India, Tibet and Nepal, not just to study the Dharma like at a college or university, but to actualize the teachings in a monastery or isolated place. In Tibet, the mountains were full of caves like ants’ nests, where people would go to practice without distraction This is how Buddhism really comes alive – when it is not just words, not just scholars, but really living Buddhism. When study and realization come together, Buddhism will really last. Wow, then like an ocean in the heart and the mind, it will spread and be preserved. Otherwise, if it is just like learning in a college, it won’t last long. That’s like throwing tsampa on water: It stays on top and doesn’t sink – it is shallow. For Buddhism to really be preserved in the West as it was in Tibet and India, we need people who will sacrifice their lives to completely actualize in the heart what was explained by the Buddha We need to realize all of this in our hearts in the West.”
My very very dear friends,
From my heart I would like to express billions, zillions, trillions of thanks, I highly appreciate you doing practices for me. This is also puja for yourself. Even if you don’t think that it naturally happens like that as it is very powerful karma!
I highly appreciate all of you being good human beings practicing the Dharma – not only wanting to achieve temporary happiness in the future but also wanting to be free from the oceans of samsaric suffering and to free all sentient beings from the oceans of suffering and for them to achieve the highest peerless happiness, enlightenment, omniscient mind. This is so important, the utmost need. Generally to live life for others, to bring happiness to others.
Again my deep appreciation to all of you.
With much love and prayer,
Lama Zopa
List of practices specifically recommended for students to do
Dear Friends,
I would like to thank everyone very much for all their efforts in helping to do the practices Khadro-la advised us to do for Rinpoche’s health and long life.
It is very important for us to continue doing these practices especially at this time when we know there are obstacles for Rinpoche in 2014 and 2015. Khadro-la (Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme) was very clear for students especially to help by doing as much of the practices as possible.
If you take a little time to think of how each of us has benefitted so much from Rinpoche’s teachings and example … such a source of inspiration for practice! It is easy to make a little time with others or alone to generate a good motivation and do one of the practices requested. In fact dedicating any merit created from any virtuous action you do to purifying the karmic view of seeing the Guru as unwell is beneficial.
THANK YOU again,
Love Roger

Dharamsala, India – June 4, 2013
Lama Zopa Rinpoche offers Dharmachakra virtually the first time to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Kopan, Nepal, May 2013. Photo by Ven. Roger Kunsang.
Very early in the morning Rinpoche decides to go to the long life initiation His Holiness the Dalai Lama is giving at the temple here in McLeod Ganj. So far, Rinpoche has been watching the webcast from Tushita [Meditation Centre]. We did try to explain to Rinpoche it would be difficult for different reasons. Rinpoche was very insistent he will go! Rinpoche wanted to offer the large 30-inch (76-centimeter) silver Dharmachakra to His Holiness. A small thing to get through security (never mind we didn’t have teaching passes either.)
During His Holiness’ visit to IOF [International Office] in Portland, Rinpoche offered this beautiful silver Dharmachakra to His Holiness on video. We took the video of Rinpoche offering, visualizing His Holiness, while Rinpoche was in Kopan, then emailed the video to Portland and there George, Ven. Holly [Ansett] and Tom [Truty] arranged for the video to be played to His Holiness after Tenzin Ösel Hita offered the body, speech and mind [mandala]. His Holiness watched the video of Rinpoche humbly offering the Dharmachakra and joined in the chant when Rinpoche did the short mandala offering. Then His Holiness made the comment, “so sincere.”
Now Rinpoche was in the teachings near to His Holiness and at the end of the teachings, after the mandala offering, Rinpoche managed to get to his feet and go up to His Holiness’ throne as best as he could holding the large silver Dharmachakra as high as he could, the five different colored khatas underneath. Rinpoche approached the throne bending down humbly and trying to hold the Dharmachakra high to offer to His Holiness. His Holiness, with arms stretched out and bending down low from the throne, was making an effort to try and reach the Dharmachakra, but then Rinpoche was bending even lower and it didn’t look like His Holiness could reach – this wasn’t going to work! Suddenly somehow they connected and finally His Holiness actually received the Dharmachakra first offered on video!
His Holiness said to Tashi-la, the ritual attendant to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to put the Dharmachakra in front of the large Padmasambhava statue on the main altar. That seemed really auspicious and special. Such a moving offering, it really did feel like something significant.

Dear Friends,
Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s health still continues to improve very gradually, there is still no interest from Rinpoche’s side to do any exercise but that seems to be the way Rinpoche has chosen.
At the beginning of every year I usually check with one or two high Lamas if there are any prayers or pujas we need to do to remove obstacles for Rinpoche’s health and long life. This year I have received the advice to do many prayers and pujas. These are being organized at Kopan Monastery, Sera Je Monastery, Ganden Shartse Monastery, Jangchup Choling Nunnery, Kopan Nunnery and also Ganden Jangtse Samlo Kamsen.
Khadro-la (Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme) is advising FPMT centers, projects, services and students to also help. I would like to support Khadro-la’s request for students and centers to do the following as much as you can so that we can continue to have Rinpoche with us for a very long time to come.
Khadro-la specifically mentioned the following: “as much as possible if FPMT centers and students can please do”:
– Liberate many animals
– Hang Tendil Nyersel prayer flags in all FPMT centers, projects and services
– Recite Most Secret Hayagriva mantra
– Offer long life pujas to Rinpoche with the 5 dakinis
Khadro la said “The most important is good samaya from the students’ side. Whoever is doing the puja, prayers or practice, it should be done well, with good motivation and meditation”.
Please see the full list of pujas and practices to do below, and then please can you send in what you have done to Claire at International Office at the end of each month and we will offer that to Rinpoche.
These prayers and pujas done sincerely from the heart do make a difference … please help.
Love roger
The full list of pujas and practices to do and which are being done:
- Animal Liberation – do as much as possible, either yourselves or by donating online to Amitabha Buddhist Center, who does substantial animal liberations every two weeks. Text available here and in Essential Buddhist Prayers, vol 2.
- Tendil Nyersel prayer flags should be hung in all FPMT centers, projects and services. Kopan Monastery are kindly making these prayer flags and once they are ready (in about a month’s time) will send out information on how to order the prayer flags.
- Recite Hayagriva mantras as much as possible.
- Offer long life puja(s) to Rinpoche through the 5 Dakinis. FPMT will request Khadro-la to offer a long life puja to Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Also when Rinpoche visits FPMT centers during the year, good to offer a long life puja with the 5 dakinis.
Practices being done at monasteries (can be done personally too):
5. Read the longest version of the Golden Light sutra x 67
6. Recite 100,000 praises to Tara within Tara pujas

Queridos amigos,
La salud de Lama Zopa Rimpoché aún continúa mejorando muy gradualmente. Rimpoché todavía no tiene ningún interés en hacer ejercicio, peroparece que eso es lo que Rimpoché ha decidido.
Por lo general, a principio de cada año consulto con uno o dos Lamas superiores si hay oraciones o puyas que debamos hacer para eliminarobstáculos para la salud y larga vida de Rimpoché. Este año recibí el consejo de hacer muchas oraciones y puyas. Éstas se han organizado en elMonasterio de Kopan, el Monasterio de Sera Je, el Monasterio de Ganden Shartse, el Convento de Jangchup Choling, el Convento de Kopan ytambién [el Colegio Monástico de] Ganden Jangtse Samlo Kamsen.
Khadro-la (Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme) aconseja que también los centros, proyectos, servicios y estudiantes. Me gustaríarespaldar la petición de Khadro-la de que los estudiantes y los centros realicen las siguientes prácticas tanto como puedan para que podamoscontinuar teniendo a Rimpoché con nosotros por mucho tiempo.
Khadro-la específicamente mencionó que “por favor los centros y los estudiantes realizaran las siguientes prácticas tanto como fuera posible”:
ñ Liberación de animales
ñ Colgar banderas Tendil Nyersel en todos los centros, proyectos y servicios de la FPMT
ñ Recitar el mantra de Hayagriva Muy Secreto
ñ Ofrecer puyas de larga vida para Rimpoché con las cinco dakinis
Khadro-la dijo “Lo más importante es el buen samaya de parte de los estudiantes. Quienquiera que esté haciendo puyas, oraciones o prácticas,debe hacerlo bien, con buena motivación y meditación”.
Hacer estas oraciones y puyas sinceramente y de corazón sí marca una diferencia… por favor ayuden.
Con amor,
roger
La lista completa de puyas y prácticas a realizar y que se están realizando:
1. Liberación de animales: realícenla tanto como sea posible, ya sea ustedes mismos o por medio de un donativo en línea al Amitabha Buddhist Center, donde quincenalmente se realizan importantes liberaciones de animales. El texto está disponible aquí y en el Libro de oraciones, vol. 2.
2. Banderas de oración Tendil Nyersel: deben colgarse en todos los centros, proyectos y servicios de la FPMT. El Monasterio de Kopan amablemente está produciendo estas banderas de oración. Una vez que estén listas (aproximadamente dentro de un mes) les enviaremos información de cómo ordenarlas.
3. Recitar tantos mantras de Hayagriva como sea posible.
4. Ofrecer puya(s) de larga vida a Rimpoché a través de las cinco Dakinis.
La FPMT le pedirá a Khadro-la que ofrezca una puya de larga vida a Lama Zopa Rimpoché. También es bueno que cuando Rimpoché visite los centros de la FPMT a lo largo del año, se le ofrezca una puya de larga vida con las cinco dakinis.
Prácticas que se están realizando en los monasterios (también pueden hacerse de manera personal):
5. Leer la versión más larga del Sutra de la luz dorada x 67
6. Recitar 100,000 alabanzas a Tara dentro de las puyas de Tara
7. Dor.de Kelsang x 67
8. Dukchuma tanto como sea posible
9. Dukka x 1000
10. Mamo Trukung x 2
11. Gyal sod Tsen sod
Cari Amici,
la salute di Lama Zopa Rinpoce continua a migliorare gradualmente pur non esistendo ancora un interesse da parte di Rinpoche di fare qualsiasi esercizio tra quelli prescritti… ma questa sembra essere la via che Rinpoche ha scelto.
All’inizio di ogni anno, di solito controllo con uno o due grandi Lama se ci sono delle preghiere o puje che dobbiamo fare per rimuovere gli ostacoli alla salute e alla lunga vita di Rinpoche. Quest’anno ho ricevuto il consiglio di fare molte preghiere e puje. Queste sono state organizzate al Monastero di Kopan, di Sera Je, Ganden Shartse, Jangchup Choling Nunnery, a Kopan e anche a Ganden Jangtse Samlo Kamsen.
Khadro-la (Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme) consiglia ai Centri, Progetti e Servizi FPMT e anche agli studenti di impegnarsi anch’essi in queste pratiche. Vorrei quindi appoggiare la richiesta di Khadro-la agli studenti e ai Centri di fare quanto è possibile in modo di continuare a beneficiare della presenza di Rinpoche per molto tempo a venire.
Khadro-la ha espressamente detto: “è importante che i centri FPMT e gli studenti possano eseguire il più possibile”:
– Liberazione di molti animali
– Appendere le bandiere di preghiera Tendil Nyersel in tutti i centri FPMT, progetti e servizi.
– Recitare il mantra molto segreto di Hayagriva
– Offrire puje di lunga vita a Rinpoche con le 5 dakini
Khadro la ha aggiunto “La cosa più importante è mantenere buoni i samaya (impegni) da parte degli studenti. Chi sta facendo le puje, le preghiere o le pratiche, dovrebbe farle bene, con una buona motivazione e buone meditazioni “.
Si prega di consultare l’elenco completo delle puje e pratiche da fare al link sotto indicato, e poi per favore potete inviare quello che avete fatto a Claire presso l’Ufficio Internazionale FPMT alla fine di ogni mese in modo da poterle offrire a Rinpoche.
Queste preghiere e puje fatte sinceramente dal cuore fanno la differenza …Vi preghiamo di aiutare in tutto questo.
Con amore
Roger

Santé de Rinpoché – Dernières nouvelles et pratiques
Le 24 avril 2013
Chers amis,
La santé de Rinpoché continue de s’améliorer très progressivement. Rinpoché ne montre toujours pas d’intérêt pour faire des exercices mais cela semble être ce qu’a choisi Rinpoché.
Habituellement, au début de chaque année, je vérifie avec un ou deux grands lamas s’il y a des prières ou des pratiques à faire pour lever les obstacles à la santé et la longue vie de Rinpoché. Cette année, ils m’ont conseillé que soient faites de nombreuses prières et poujas. Celles-ci sont organisées dans les monastères de Kopan, Séra Djé et Ganden Shartsé, dans les nonneries de Jangchoup Choling, Kopan et également à Ganden Jangtsé Samlo Kamsèn.
Khadro-la (Rangjoung Néljorma Khadro Namsél Drönme) conseille également aux étudiants, centres, projets et services de la FPMT d’apporter leur aide. Je souhaite exprimer mon soutien à la demande de Khadro-la d’effectuer les pratiques suivantes aussi souvent et autant de fois que possible afin que nous puissions garder Rinpoché près de nous pendant encore très longtemps.
Khadro-la a spécifiquement mentionné les pratiques suivantes « autant de fois que possible si les centres FPMT et les étudiants veulent bien le faire » :
– libérer de nombreux animaux,
– accrocher les drapeaux de prières Tendil Nyersel dans tous les centres, services et projets FPMT,
– réciter le mantra d’Hayagriva Extrêmement secret [HRIH VAJRA KRODA HAYAGRIVA HOULOU HOULOU HOUM PÈ],
– offrir à Rinpoché des poujas de longue vie avec les 5 dakinis.
Khadro-la a dit : « Le plus important est un bon samaya du côté des étudiants. Quelle que soit la personne qui les fait, les prières et pratiques doivent être bien faites, avec une bonne motivation et une bonne méditation. »
Vous trouverez ci-dessous la liste des poujas et pratiques. S’il vous plaît, veuillez indiquer chaque mois à Claire, au Bureau international, celles que vous avez faites et nous les offrirons à Rinpoché.
Ces prières et ces poujas faites du fond du coeur font vraiment une différence. S’il vous plaît, apportez votre aide.
Avec amour,
roger
