The Fire of Wisdom
When a good teacher teaches us the Buddha’s view, meditation and action, the teacher’s mouth is like a magnifying glass. In his heart, the luminosity of the Buddha is already there, it shines out through the magnifying glass of their mouth, and it directly comes into our mind. The luminosity is making the fire in our heart, the fire of wisdom, which burns all the garbage of the disturbing emotions, the negative behaviour and all the negative patterns.

Message from Patrul Rinpoche
Written by Patrul Rinpoche, 28 October 2012 – Letter About the Winter Retreat 2012
If you ask me what I am currently concerned about, I would say that I am deeply concerned about the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha’s teachings are very, very important for everybody. They are useful not only for us, but beneficial and very important for all sentient beings.
The Black Guru Rinpoche Statues Project
The black diamond-carved Guru Rinpoche statues, which contain iron beads, relics and scriptures, can last for hundreds of years in outdoor environment. According to Guru Rinpoche’s prediction, they can be placed on mountains, rivers or caves, in lakes or in the ocean around the world to suppress and resolve various disasters and wars, liberating all sentient beings in the six realms into Buddhahood.
