A Journey to the West L72 Guru Rinpoche's visits to Tibet on the tenth day of the month

Continuing real-life accounts from A Journey to the West , Khenpo Sodargye shares His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok's experiences at Kunzang Choling in Washington, D.C. The teaching highlights the awe-inspiring synchronicity of His Holiness bestowing the Vajrakilaya empowerment precisely on *Chökhor Düchen*, the anniversary of the Buddha’s first turning of the Dharma Wheel. Emphasizing the profound astrological and historical significance of the sixth Tibetan lunar month—marked by Guru Rinpoche's birth, the start of the monastics' summer retreat, and the ideal climatic conditions for Dzogchen practice—Khenpo urges all practitioners to intensely dedicate this period to spiritual advancement. His Holiness vividly recounts his past miraculous deeds initiated during this auspicious month, primarily his massive efforts to revitalize the monastic sangha in Tibet after decades of suppression. Furthermore, Khenpo delivers a stark, thought-provoking commentary on modern society: drawing an analogy where economic power is merely the ingredients and authentic Dharma is the seasoning, he warns that without the spiritual nourishment of cause and effect, material wealth only plunges the world into deeper suffering and conflict.
