Many Buddhist disciples are planning to come to the United States in June to celebrate the birth of the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche. The Office of the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche hereby issues this announcement.
As early as last June, during the ceremony held at the World Buddhist Headquarters in Shengtian Lake, the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche had already advised everyone not to come this year. The Third Dzogchen Rinpoche said that He understands you and knows that some of you are facing difficulties in life and do not have the means to travel to the United States. He is very saddened by this. Although He never accepts any financial offerings from anyone, He is always concerned about your well-being and has therefore decided to welcome you when He can teach you the Dharma in the future. Now the office solemnly informs you that the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche will definitely be out of state during the birth celebration. He will not be in California!!! Therefore, if you, as Buddhist disciples, have the financial means, please hold Dharma listening sessions, release animals, engage in charitable relief work, and perform good deeds to help the public and benefit sentient beings in your local areas. Abstain from all evil deeds during the three periods of the day and night, and practice all good deeds. In the future, you will definitely learn and practice the superior Buddha Dharma. This is also the best way to celebrate the birth of the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche.
This announcement is hereby made.
