This is a Dharma gift that Supachok gave us the day we organized a seminar on Guru Rinpoche.
Om ah hung bendza guru pema siddhi hung
May all beings be free from the ocean of suffering and realize their primordial mind!

June 27
It was another memorable Saturday for Thousand Stars, as our members and new friends joined the seminar on Guru Rinpoche. I asked Yontan to share his insights on Guru from both the historical and practice perspectives. I myself added some notes and shared with the audience my personal practice.
At the end of the session, we meditated on Guru Rinpoche together visualizing him as an embodiment of the teachers and the Triple Gems. We ended the talk with Nat’s story of how she became Guru Rinpoche’s devotee.
Nat said she felt grateful to Guru Rinpoche for teaching us on bardo and how we should prepare for death.
The event ended with happy smiles when we celebrated Nuch’s upcoming birthday anniversary. May she enjoy long life and may all her wishes be achieved!
I dedicate happiness to all sentient beings without exception;
May happiness spread in the air;
I take on the sufferings of all sentient beings without exception;
May the ocean of suffering be dry.
If I am happy,
I dedicate my happiness to those who seek it;
May happiness spread in the air;
If I am suffering,
I bear the suffering of all sentient beings;
May the ocean of suffering be dry.
May the sufferings of gods and demons be collected in me;
May my happiness be transformed into theirs.
Om Mani Padme Hum
