Venerable Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche

pay homage to the Vajra-mind of indestructible nature,
the basis of all brilliant qualities, including great compassion and wisdom awareness.
Even though all sentient beings want to be free from suffering,
the darkness of their ignorance is so thick that the light of awareness cannot penetrate it.
May the Great Victorious Ones dispel their ignorance!
The ocean of blood of sentient beings’ desire is so deep that they cannot cross it without help.
May the Great compassionate Ones bless them with enough strength to cross that ocean!
The elemental fire of hatred is so powerful that it burns the silks of peace and harmony.
May the rain of wisdom of all Victorious Ones quench those flames!
The mountain peaks of pride and arrogance are so high that beings cannot surmount them.
May the equanimity of the Victorious Ones give blessings so that beings can see others as themselves!
The sharp knife of jealousy cuts the tree of virtue.
May the Fully Awakened Ones give blessing so that beings may rejoice for others!
Grant blessings to purify these afflictive emotions!
Grant blessings to achieve wisdom awareness which enables beings to see their innate nature!
Grant blessings so that genuine peace, joy and happiness permeate all minds throughout the universe!
(by Venerable Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche)

At the age of thirty-nine, he took his full monastic ordination from Drubwang Pachung Rinpoche. He was under the guidance of Pachung Rinpoche and pachung Rinpoche's disciple Tenzin Nyima and later he did his three-year retreat at the Drikung Thil Monastery in Tibet.
