Ling Rinpoche will give us the oral transmission of the Chanting the Names of the Noble Manjushri, as well as explanations of the practice and general advice for Dharma practitioners. If time permits, there will also be a Q&A session.
The Chanting the Names of Noble Manjushri, Manjushri Namasangiti, consists of over 160 verses and mantra sentences, condensing an enormous tantric lore. It is categorized as a tantra but can be read by anyone without restrictions. This praise of Manjushri was taught by Buddha Shakyamuni at the request of Vajrapani. It is a central text in all Tibetan traditions and is often recited and memorized by students.
Event in cooperation with Longku, Bern as part of FPMT Suisse.
ABOUT THE TEACHER
The Yongzin Ling Rinpoche lineage incarnations are innumerable prior to the 1st Ling Rinpoche (1655 – 1702). Since the time as an arhat during the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, twenty-two notable manifestations have been identified, including kings, scholars, yogis and tertons, who are spiritual treasure revealers.
His Eminence the 7th Kyabjé Yongzin Ling Rinpoche was born in India on November 18, 1985. He was taken to the Tibetan Children’s Village in Dharamsala, after his mother died, and stayed there until His Holiness the Dalai Lama recognized him as the reincarnation of his Principal Teacher, H.H. the 6th Kyabjé Yongzin Ling Rinpoche, who passed away in 1983.
The 7th Yongzin Ling Rinpoche entered Drepung Monastic University in South India in 1990 when he was five years old and began his monastic studies there at the age of ten. Rinpoche received his Geshe degree in November 2016 and enrolled at Gyuto Tantric College in Dharamsala, India in April 2017 for a year of tantric studies that traditionally follows the completion of a Geshe degree. He completed his studies in February 2018. During his studies, the 7th Yongzin Ling Rinpoche spent periods of time in retreat.
In 1991 Ling Rinpoche gave his first teaching in South Korea. Since then, he has given teachings and tantric initiations in many countries in Asia and Europe, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Mongolia and Russia as well as Tibetan settlements throughout India and Nepal and Himalayan regions including Ladakh and Mon Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh). Rinpoche has also organized and attended many important Buddhist events.
