Страница: 2 из 6While being in Dharamsala in April 1991, we applied the question for Dorje Drakden to the Oracle: "What should be done to remove obstacles to spreading Dharma in the USSR?"
The answer has reached us only a year later: [a Xerox copy of the letter]
"Hrih:! A very good means for this is to read studiously Dhvajagrakeyura and the six-syllable mantra-dharani of Arya Mahakarunika (i.e. Avalokiteshvara) over and over, as much as possible."
Buddhists of Petersburg have received the "lung" for Dhvajagrakeyura from Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, and the six-syllable mantra OM-MA-NI-PAD-ME-HUM is known to everyone.
We call on everybody to join in executing Dorje Drakden's directions and to include these mantras in your daily practice. (M.Kozhevnikova, A.Terentiev).
IV. The New Head of Mongolian Buddhists.
It appeares that when in 1924 the People's Hural of Mongolia had asked the deceased head of the theocratic Mongolia Bogdo-Gegen not to be reincarnated any more, he did not listen and reincarnated in Tibet, though he was not officially recognized as an incarnate at that time. Nevertheless, according to tidings we received from Dharamsala, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has recently confirmed his status.
V. Visits.
An outstanding Teacher of Dzogchen Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche made a visit to our country. He was in Lithuania from the 19th to the 27th of May, in Riga from the 27th of May to the 10th of June, in Petersburg from the 11th to the 24th of June, then he stays in Moscow up to the 8th of July, after which he go to Buryatia and returns to Moscow on the 19th of July - and then leaved for Paris...
His sermon on Dharma - which Rinpoche taught in the most sincere manner, as is always characteristic of him - opened eyes of many.
The Dzogchen Community of Saint-Petersburg was founded instead of the Dzogchen-center "Sanjei-Ling" ("sanjei" is the Mongolian pronunciation of the Tibetan word "sangye", i.e. Buddha). More details about this visit will be contained in next issue of NB.
