Dharamshala: “The only meaningful way to thank and appreciate His Holiness the Dalai Lama is by studying his lifelong teachings and his four core commitments and putting them into practice in our daily lives,” Kyabje Gaden Tripa Ripoche said earlier today.
Kyajbe Gaden Tripa Rinpoche is the head of Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism.
While he said it was admirable to celebrate the achievements and teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama through initiatives as this, he said we should be remembering and appreciating his teachings every day of our lives. ‘The debt of gratitude we owe His Holiness the Dalai Lama is beyond measure.’
“Every single teaching, every word that His Holiness has uttered has been for the benefit of humanity. From global political issues to tackling sufferings at the level of individuals, His Holiness’ teachings have an all-encompassing impact motivated by limitless compassion and wisdom.’
He said it is even more urgent for Tibetan Buddhists to appreciate His Holiness’ core commitments through faith as well as firm conviction gained from in-depth study and critical investigation. Particularly, in order to become a true practitioner of His Holiness’ commitment towards reviving the ancient Indian tradition, one must have thorough, rich expertise in the study of the Nalanda tradition, its classical texts on psychology and dialectics among others.
‘Hence, I urge fellow Tibetans to heed His Holiness’ advice to study the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in order to be able to serve His Holiness’ vision.’
