I don’t know if we have room anymore for beings as unconditionally committed to pure Dharma as Shamarpa. Attached to views, we fail to see conditionless compassion as siddhi when it is Supreme. We may even fail to see it as compassion at all if not in accord with our so-called ‘spiritual’ purpose. Shamar Rinpoche granted everyone – […]
Dharma warrior
Our Shamarpa is like a warrior except he is fighting for everyone else other than himself .His bruises and wounds are many . His bruises come from the countless blessings and empowerments which he unconditionally did for us and all sentient beings . His wounds come from his taking a strong and unyielding position in […]
Thank you Shamar Rinpoche
Thank you Shamar Rinpoche The red hat lama with the Western connections gave us the tools to work towards perfection. With wisdom and humor you showed us the way. To remove the two veils each and every day. With clarity and in royal style your example was with us for a little while. Karma comes […]
Eternally…
I met HH Shamarpa face – to – face two years ago in Valencia, Spain. What surprised me was the “wise simplicity” of his words and his warmly as powerful presence. I’ won´t forget his extremely valuable teachings and pleasant smile…..come back soon, Master.
A joke from Shamar Rimpoché…
Some years ago Rimpoché showed me his closed hand and said : “this is a gift for you…”. In the same time I was surprised happy and honored that he could offer me a gift… Probably he saw all of my thoughts because with a large smile, he opened his hand which was empty and […]
from Matthew
As anyone who has been touched by Shamar Rinpoche’s activity can attest, he was an unparalleled being and a profound teacher, one of the rare ones capable of manifesting the optimal conditions for his students to see themselves in an honest, unfiltered way. Shamar Rinpoche worked in many ways: often traveling the world by himself, […]
Karma Tsultrim Taarchhin
I met Shamarpa twice in Karma Kagyud center in Malaysia. the last time i the great opportunity to meet Shamarpa was in 2012 when the HH paid his visit in our center in Kuala Lumpur. In Kuala Lumpur, we started the Amitabha prayers since June 11th and will continue for 49 days. I am indeed […]
Bye bye
:(( “Bye Bye” with Amitabha’s smile :)) was the lastest word you’ve pronounced in Karmapa’s Institute one month ago after Mahakala’s prayers. <3 May you always guide us on the right way of love & wisdom <3
We lost a great Mahamudra teacher
In August 2009 HH Shamar Rimpoche visited the EC in Immenstadt, Germany, and gave a historic teaching on the Great Seal Wishes of the Third Karmapa. We experienced rich, highly intellectual and one-pointed teachings. HH himself expressed this state of simpleness, one-pointedness and of course non-meditation. Happy those who discovered that this was not about […]
Condolence
Startling news that H.H. Gyalwa Shamarpa Rinpoche has entered parinirvana at his Dharma Centre in Germany came as a great shock, filling us with sadness. Rinpoche’s very sudden and entirely unexpected passing is a tremendous loss to Buddhism, specifically to the Kagyu Lineage, and to a great many Dharma practitioners everywhere. It is as though […]
