Delhi: As per the request from Delhi Samyeling Tibetan Settlement and various community organisations, Kyabje Yongzin Ling Rinpoche bestowed the long-life empowerment of Buddha Amitayus on 23 February 2025.

Upon Rinpoche’s arrival at the venue, he was received by the Jigme Jungney, Representative of the New Delhi-based Bureau of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, along with representatives from various local Tibetan organisations and Tibetan students. After Rinpoche entered the teaching pavilion and completed the preliminary empowerment rituals, the Representative presented a mandala offering along with the three jewels, representing Buddha’s body, speech, and mind.

During the main empowerment ceremony, Rinpoche offered advice on ethical conduct to the public. He also led prayers and recitations of the Mani mantra for those who lost their lives in the recent severe earthquake that shook some regions in Tibet, as well as for the late elder brother of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, former Kalon Tripa Gyalo Thondup, and all other deceased sentient beings, praying for their swift rebirth and ultimate enlightenment.
