【Bhutanese Buddhism】

Known as the "Last Shangri-La" and one of the "Happiest Countries in the World," the Kingdom of Bhutan is one of the countries with the highest happiness index globally, largely due to Bhutan's state religion—Vajrayana Buddhism.

The Kingdom of Bhutan has stipulated Buddhism as Bhutan's spiritual heritage in its constitution, with the entire population believing in Vajrayana Buddhism. The main lineage is the Kagyu (White Sect) branch of the Drukpa Kargyu, which has been passed down to the present day like a golden thread, pure and unsoiled, never interrupted.

His Eminence Je Khenpo is the Chairman of the seniormost religious authority of Bhutan, Monastic Council for Education & Research, and the Chief Abbot of the Central Monastic Body. He holds a symbolically equal status with the King. The religious authority he leads and the secular authority led by the King play equally important roles in the joint management of the country.

【Biography of Rinpoche】

His Eminence Tsugla Lopen Rinpoche - Karma Rangdrol is one of the six eminent members of the Monastic Council for Education & Research (the highest authority of Bhutanese Buddhism) and also one of the five Lopen Rinpoches of the Central Monastery Body, responsible for Bhutan's religious education, supervising the educational work of various Buddhist schools, colleges, and universities in Bhutan.

Rinpoche is a lineage holder of the Vajrayana Drukpa Kargyu (White Sect Mahamudra) and Nyingma (Red Sect Dzogchen) traditions. He has shown extraordinary wisdom since childhood. He became a monk at the age of 8 and was appointed as the dean of a Buddhist college at the age of 25. He then practiced in retreat, deepening his esoteric practice and achieving siddhi. In 2003, he established two Buddhist colleges in eastern Bhutan, widely promoting the Dharma. In 2015, he was appointed as the spiritual leader of a district in eastern Bhutan. In 2020, he was elected as a spiritual mentor, granted the title of 'Pedma Acharya', becoming one of the five Lopen Rinpoches in the Central Monastic Body, second only to the Je Khenpo, and is known as "His Eminence Tsugla Lopen Rinpoche".

Rinpoche, with his outstanding practical experience and profound compassion and wisdom, has become a leader among contemporary Buddhist leaders. He is highly respected and beloved in both the monastic and lay communities in Bhutan with a high reputation. He received teachings and lineage transmissions of the Six Yogas of Naropa and Mahamudra from the highly respected Tenzin Dondru, and the 68th Je Khenpo of the Kingdom of Bhutan personally granted Rinpoche the teachings and lineage transmissions of the Nyingma Dzogchen. He practiced in retreats in the mountains, achieving signs of the accomplishment of deity practice, which was marked by the manifestation of holy signs and auspicious events.Despite Rinpoche's request for confidentiality, auspicious signs such as rainbows still appeared during his teachings and empowerments, indicating a connection and blessings from the deities, Buddhas, and Dharma protectors.

After years of dedicated effort, Rinpoche has cultivated a group of students who have achieved significant spiritual accomplishments. They serve as Vajra Gurus, principals, professors, and meditation mentors in Bhutan and around the world.

Rinpoche regularly visits various institutions and meditation centers around the world to impart the wisdom of the Buddha and to bestow empowerment and teachings on Vajrayana practices, the Six Yogas of Naropa, and other profound esoteric methods. This helps practitioners eliminate both inner and outer obstacles and awaken their inherent wisdom.

In response to earnest requests, out of his boundless compassion, Tsugla Lopen Rinpoche has graciously agreed to travel across the oceans to Toronto, bestowing the supreme esoteric Dharma empowerments and blessings upon the destined public.This is a rare and precious opportunity in a lifetime.

【Introduction to the Empowerments】

⚡Prabhupada Empowerment

Prabhupada is highly revered in all four Vajrayana Buddhist sects and is one of the deities of the Highest Yoga Tantra division, known for his fierce power to eliminate obstacles and purify the spiritual pollution in this era. It is the wrathful manifestation of Vajrasattva. The Vajra Phurba, also known as the Demon-Subduing Dorje, is the main Dharma implement of Prabhupada.

Padmasambhava once said: "Wherever the Prabhupada practice is performed, that place will become auspicious, and all outer, especially inner and secret sufferings can be eliminated. Those who have direct or indirect connections with Prabhupada will gradually or immediately eliminate all obstacles and can swiftly attain the ultimate accomplishment of Vajrasattva."

As long as one has deep faith in Prabhupada, contemplates on Prabhupada, and prays to Prabhupada, one can attain the eight worldly merits in this very life, namely auspiciousness, longevity, health, power, authority, wealth, fame, etc. By maintaining this faith with dedication and resolve, one can dedicate the accrued merit for the benefit of all sentient beings.
