Rinpoche's Calligraphy

Ogyen Rinpoche enjoys calligraphy, and he sometimes likes to try new styles. Here is rang jung, Tibetan for "self-arisen," done while Rinpoche is in Taiwan.

Of the Earthquake in Kham

"When the obstacles from earth, water, fire or air
Endanger or destroy our illusory bodies,
Without hesitation or divided mind we pray to you;
Orgyen with the female deities of the four elements,
Will without doubt pacify the elements instantly.
Padmasambhava of Orgyen, to you we pray;
Please bestow the blessing of spontaneous fulfillment of our wishes."

Ogyen Tulku Rinpoche and all Buddha of Compassion Society members and students offer their deepest condolences for the victims of the recent earthquake in Kham, Eastern Tibet.
