In 1959, Rinpoche took his vows as a novice monk from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his full ordination vows from the late Ling Rinpoche in 1973. Rinpoche then taught at Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala, the personal monastery of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Later, His Eminence was appointed Abbot of Namgyal Monastery, where he served until 2004. Namgyal Monastery was founded in 1568 by the third Dalai Lama and has served as a private monastery for subsequent Dalai Lamas.

"Kannon Ishigami" refers to a sculpture of Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, in which a stone figure (ishi for stone) is naturally enveloped or em- bedded within a tree root (gami or kami for god, likely referring to the natural form). These naturalistic sculptures, often made in the Edo period, were popular among the literati (bunjin) for their rustic, organic aesthetic, which reflected the concept of wabi-sabi. Wabi-sabi is a traditional Japanese philosophy and aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness, valuing the natural cycles of growth and decay over traditional notions of perfection and symmetry. It involves appreciating modest, weathered, or aged items, such as a cracked teacup or a moss-covered stone.

Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, is said to hear the cries of the world. In the Heart Sutra, he teaches that form is emptiness, and emptiness is form - wisdom and compassion are one. 🙏

“Of all the fighting in the world, ignorance is the most dangerous enemy, and anger is the most lethal weapon.
Only a warrior of wisdom who holds the spear of compassion can defeat them.”
