About White Umbrella
Goddess
Asuras (阿修罗)
and gods (天人)
reside in the region between the God and Demi-God realm (within
samsara). There naturally grows a wish-fulfilling tree – whenever
the gods run into any difficulty, they would pray to this tree and
their wishes will be fulfilled. This has however, incurred the
wrath and jealously of the Asuras, and in a fit of hatred, raged
attack towards the god realm. Not wanting to suffer defeat, the
King of the God realm quickly approached Lord Buddha Shakyamuni to
seek His blessings. At that moment, there shone a bright white
light from the crown of the Lord Buddha. And it manifested into the
intrepid and powerful White Umbrella Tara. With the pure merits of
Lord Buddha, the White Umbrella Tara emanates a thousand arms and a
thousand eyes, blessing and saving all the harm of the
gods.
The White Umbrella Goddess is an intrepid
and fearless deity. Practicing the White Umbrella Goddess is
effective for purification of disturbances caused by the evil
spirits and the influence of any evil magic as well as the attack
or harassment of the formless. It also benefits us such as to
increase fortune, wisdom, health and longevity. The recitation and
visualization on White Umbrella Deity is to drive back all forms of
negative aspect in life. The ultimate goal of this prayer is to
arrive at Pureland in a swift way.
Benefits derived from the practice of White
Umbrella Goddess Sadhana are:
•
To neutralize karma brought about by heavy sins of ancestor or
parents
•
To prevent or to heal serious sickness
•
To control depressed people contemplating suicide
•
Protection over witchcraft and malicious mischief
•
Protection from court cases
•
Protection from outside vicious negative forces
ABOUT HIS EMINENCE ZURI
RINPOCHE

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. 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.
