Sejak saat itu beliau menerima banyak pelajaran tentang Sutra dan Tantra dari banyak Khenpo seperti Khenchen Pema Tsewang dari Vihara Arig. Kyabje Munsel Rinpoche dari Ngagyur aliran Nyingma. Beliau juga menerima ajaran terutama dari Guru besar Nyingma seperti CHoje Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche dan dari beberapa lainnya beliau menerima ajaran dari 4 aliran Bddhist Tibet termasuk Lima Kumpulan Ajaran Utama. Dan beliau menguasai semuanya. Pada tahun 1996 beliau bergabung dengan Universitas Drepung dimana beliau belajar Prajnaparamita dan ajaran filosofi utama lainnya.

Big Fire Puja 2005, Kenjeran, Surabaya, Indonesia

During Mingyur Rinpoche's visit Triyana held a big fire puja in Kenjeran Temple, located in east of Surabaya, Indonesia. Approximately 1,000 people had the rare opportunity to do the puja .

The whole puja lasted for approximately three hours. After the puja, Rinpoche blessed everybody attending.



We were really amazed by Rinpoche's energy and patient. Every member of Triyana was sweating heavily and yet we did not see a single drop of sweat on Rinpoche.



We hope we will be able to organize a similar
puja again in 2006. We will put the schedule
once its confirmed.

Mingyur Rinpoche's Visit to Indonesia and Triyana

Mingyur Rinpoche's first ever trip to Indonesia started on
February 12. Rinpoche was accompanied by Lama Chewang and arrived in Jakarta. The tour then started at Ekayana Temple in Jakarta, followed by Palembang for 2 days.



Rinpoche then went to Yogyakarta and great stupa, Borobudur. Bali was next and we managed to stop by the Bali Bomb site for a prayer for the deceased.


Last stop was Surabaya where Rinpoche stayed for 4 days and also did a big fire puja with a little more than 1,000 people attending. Rinpoche went back to India via Jakarta.

A lot of people were impressed by Rinpoche's clear and concise style of teaching, great sense of humour and endless energy.

Rinpoche had agreed to Triyana's request to be under Rinpoche's guidance. Rinpoche also agreed to come again and hopefuly a yearly teaching trip to Indonesia. In 2006, Rinpoche planned to give the 1st part of a 3-year Mahamudra Retreat. We will post the schedules once the dates are confirmed.
