A Day of Gratitude for All Teachers 🪷 On the tenth day (tsechu) of each lunar month, Tibetan Buddhists around the world honor Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava—the "Lotus-Born Precious Teacher" credited with helping bring Buddhism from India to Tibet. This month Guru Rinpoche Day falls on May 26. This Tibetan scroll painting (thangka) from our collection depicts Guru Rinpoche teaching in his pure land, the Copper-Colored Mountain. According to traditional accounts, after spreading Buddhism in Tibet, Guru Rinpoche journeyed to this sacred realm, where he continues teaching today. On this Guru Rinpoche Day, join us in reflecting upon the supreme example of Guru Rinpoche and paying respects to the many manifestations of the "teacher" principle in our lives—including our educators, mentors, family, and friends. Who are the “precious teachers” in your life? #HimalayanArt #BuddhistArt #GuruRinpoche ________ Padmasambhava in His Pure Realm, the Copper-Colored Mountain; Kham Province, easter...
