About Prayers to Shakyamuni Buddha and the Sixteen Arhats

Ven Zuri Rinpoche will be teaching on the prayers to Sakyamuni Buddha & 16 Arhats. Before Lord Buddha Sakyamuni entered in parinirvana, he has requested the 16 Arhats to continue to shower their compassion and protection upon sentient beings in samsara and ask them not to pass into Nirvana. We praise the Arhats and pray that they bless our glorious gurus with long lives and ask for their help so that the Buddhadharma may flourish everywhere.

The main significance for this practice will receive great blessing from our kind compassionate Guru Shakyamuni Buddha and the great Arhats. The benefits of making offerings and prayers to the Sixteen Arhats are:

1. All the ten directions and three times victorious ones (Buddhas) are pleased.
2. Request ever flourishing of the Buddhadharma.
3. Prevent dispute or obscuration on the path of practicing the Buddhadharma .
4. It increases one's scriptural understanding and realization.
5. Abide in the practice of pure morality.
6. One will not be overwhelmed by untimely death and will have a long life.
7. One will have perfect inner and outer conditions to practice Dharma.
8. Anyone who correctly practices it will have no obstacles.

The 1st Zuri Rinpoche was the root lama of Chöying Dorje, the 10th Karmapa. The 1st Zuri Rinpoche was originally based in Tsurphu Monastery of the Tibet . Located near Lhasa , it has been the main seat of the Karma Kagyu Lineage and residence of the successive incarnations of the Gyalwang Karmapas. The 1st Zuri Rinpoche later went to Qinghai in his lifetime. Following the Karmapa's wishes and due to karmic connections, he settled there and stayed in Thrangu Monastery until his seventh incarnation

In each of his past lives, Zuri Rinpoche was renowned for his practice of Vajrakilaya. The 7th Zuri Rinpoche, for example, had attained enlightenment by reciting the Vajrakilaya mantra 1,300 million times in his small retreat hut overhanging the cliff of the Princess WenCheng Temple in Qinghai . This is still recounted by his then disciples and the elderly monks there by this day. The 7th Zuri Rinpoche passed away in Bhutan , thus created the origination of his next incarnation in this Himalayan kingdom.

The present Venerable 8th Zuri Rinpoche was born in Bhutan and was recognized by H.H. 16th Karmapa at two months old as a reincarnation of Bakula Arhat - one of the Sixteen Arhats (direct disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha who had tremendous spiritual realizations). At two, H.E. presided over his enthronement ceremony in Bhutan in the presence of the Karmapa's four heart sons and many renowned Rinpoches. He was bestowed the Dharma name Karma Migyur Tenpel Gyalshen Jigme Gocha.

At a young age, Rinpoche entered Rumtek Monastery, the Karmapa's seat in Sikkim , India , to receive intensive traditional Buddhist education. He studied at the Karma Shri Nalanda Institute and performed brilliantly under the guidance of the Karmapa. He then proceeded to Nepal to further his studies in learning the three yanas, the five major treatises and the four tantras in the Namo Buddha Institute. Also, he studied extensively in India and Bhutan.

He had also received empowerments and teachings of various lineages such as from the Kagyu masters the Very Venerable 9th Thrangu Rinpoche, the 1st Kalu Rinpoche, and the Nyingma master Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and among others. Rinpoche started the spreading of dharma in 1993. He traveled to and from Bhutan , India , Nepal , mainland China , Hong Kong , Taiwan and Singapore , in setting up Buddhist centers, giving teachings, conducting pujas, holding retreats and animal protection activities.

The present 8th Zuri Rinpoche is a qualified lineage teacher and a great reincarnated master and is highly commended by H.H. the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje. The 8th Zuri Rinpoche has carried on the powerful tradition of Vajrakilaya practice and Tsog offerings unceasingly for the benefit of sentient beings.

礼赞释迦牟尼佛暨礼敬供请十六阿罗汉护教简介

「佛行十二谊赞」是由龙树菩萨撰写來憶念佛陀种种清净德行。此部份由两个赞颂所构成，分別由龙树菩萨与阿底峽尊者所作。赞颂释迦牟尼佛成佛的十二个过程，使人深信佛陀能夠带领众生脱离轮迴之苦、证悟涅槃。感念佛陀的恩德，供养佛陀，能引发我们的意志向上。由仰慕佛陀的净智庄严，激励自己精进修学佛法，离垢清净，愿将來能证得佛陀的智德庄严。

「礼敬供请十六阿罗汉赞文」据《法住记》所载，十六尊罗汉承佛敕命，永住世间守护正法。佛陀临涅槃时，嘱咐十六大阿罗汉，自延寿量，常住世间，游化说法，随缘教化度众，作众生福。世尊曾告诉十六罗汉，在彌勒佛出世之前，他们应當要护持佛法。现在，我们也祈愿十六罗汉与他们的眷众可以护持佛法与众生，而透过他们的加持，也能夠令僧众和合。十六罗汉为了利益众，曾在印度、西藏与汉地等不同地域，展现出不同的相貌。
