Ven. Yundeng Jiangcuo Rinpoche is the abbot of the Tagong Lingji Monastery, a monastery famous throughout the snowy land of Tibet. He is the incarnation of Patriarch Milarepa, who is commonly known as a famous patriarch of the Kagyu sect and a great practitioner of yoga.
Ven. Yundeng Jiangcuo Rinpoche is now ninety years old. In order to provide living beings with a model of self-cultivation, the rinpoche cultivated himself in solitary retreat at the Tagong Lingji Monastery for all together thirty-four years. He spent twenty-seven of those years in continuous, unbroken solitary retreat, exhibiting the ascetic spirit that Patriarch Milarepa had. The realization of the rinpoche is high and he possesses supernatural powers. He often easily manifests in different forms or shapes to bless living beings so that they may avoid sufferings and disasters, increase their good fortune, and open up their wisdom. He also easily manifests in different forms or shapes to bless living beings by subduing demons and driving away evil spirits.
I prostrate to the Buddha Vajradhara!
Living beings have good fortune in that A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma is being published! This book manifests great Buddha-dharma based wisdom and contains accomplishments that no other person in history has achieved. Only H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu has attained such accomplishments. As the venerable Urgyen Xirao Woxiu and others stated in their recognition certificates, H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu is the complete incarnation of the Buddha Vajradhara. I deeply understand that precisely because His Holiness is Buddha Vajradhara, living beings can now enjoy the blessings of A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma , and Buddhist history now has this brilliant display of “complete proficiency in exoteric and esoteric Buddhism and perfect mastery of the Five Vidyas” for all to see.
I hereby specially offer my congratulations!
