Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan: A Legacy of Dharma
Known as “The Last Shangri-La,” Bhutan draws spiritual seekers worldwide with its rich Buddhist culture and serene natural environment. In this nation, consistently ranked among the happiest in the world, simplicity in material life harmonizes with spiritual abundance, with Vajrayana Buddhism serving as a vital pillar.
His Eminence Tsugla Lopen Rinpoche, who became a monk at the age of eight, assumed the role of a Buddhist college dean by 25, embracing the mission of spreading the Dharma. With profound Buddhist knowledge and a compassionate heart, Rinpoche has guided countless followers out of confusion and toward enlightenment.
Six Yogas of Naropa and Precious Empowerments
What are the root causes of life’s difficulties? From November 9 to 14, His Eminence Tsugla Lopen Rinpoche will bestow the “Transmission of the Six Yogas of Naropa and Precious Empowerments” at Leong Hwa Temple in Singapore. This profound teaching will uncover the karmic roots of obstacles and guide practitioners in overcoming them. Through these empowerments, you will not only comprehend the karmic interplay of obstacles but also harness the wisdom of the esteemed master to dissolve karmic hindrances, manifest your aspirations, and attain both prosperity and fulfillment.
As the most essential practices of Anuttarayoga Tantra (the Highest Yoga Tantra), the Six Yogas of Naropa, including Tummo (Inner Heat Yoga), Dream Yoga, and Bardo Yoga, will guide participants in transcending life’s challenges, fostering harmony in career, family, and health.
In 2023, Rinpoche first brought these precious teachings, including Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa, to Singapore, receiving immense appreciation and reverence from practitioners. This year, in addition to the Six Yogas, Rinpoche will also transmit the empowerments of Green Tara, Yellow Dzambahla, the Eight Manifestations of Guru Rinpoche, and other precious empowerments.

Vajrayana Center of the Mindfulness City
On the morning of November 16, before the Dharma Assembly, His Eminence Rinpoche and Master Zhang Bu Sheng will introduce a globally significant spiritual civilization project. In December 2023, the King of Bhutan announced the establishment of the “Vajrayana Center of the Mindfulness City” in Gelephu, southern Bhutan. This project aims to create a world-class pilgrimage destination and spiritual sanctuary for Buddhists worldwide. It is not only a religious center but also a comprehensive development project integrating education, culture, and spiritual cultivation. The Development Management Committee, jointly established by the Central Monastic Body of Bhutan and Singapore’s OOSS International Group, is co-chaired by His Eminence Tsugla Lopen Rinpoche and Master Zhang Bu Sheng.
The project spans 460 square kilometers and includes diverse religious structures such as the Five Dhyani Buddha Mandala City, the World Buddhist University, and a 108-meter-high statue of Guru Rinpoche, set to be the tallest in the world. With a total projected investment of up to $100 billion and an estimated population of 2 to 4 million, the project aims to transform Bhutan’s economic and social landscape while preserving its spiritual and cultural purity.
To swiftly create a safe haven for mindfulness for all humanity, the Bhutan Project Management Committee advocates the creation of a “Global Vajra Mindfulness and Eternal Joy Club.” We invite 1 billion Buddhist followers and all individuals embodying positive energy to join us in purifying the human spirit and elevating the collective spiritual realm. Through the “Vajra Mindfulness APP,” friends around the world can participate in and realize a pure land on Earth, collectively building the Vajrayana Center of the Mindfulness City, benefiting the present and future generations.
Grand Finale: Mahamayuri Blessings
The grand closing event for this Dharma assembly series in Singapore will be the Mahamayuri Vidyarajni Dharma Assembly and the Grand Nine-Mandala Fire Puja, held on Sunday, November 17, at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre. This assembly will be presided over by Venerable Master Cijie, the Abbot of Kai Cheng Monastery in Taiwan, with His Eminence Tsugla Lopen Rinpoche attending as a special guest, adding profound blessings to the event.
The Mahamayuri Vidyarajni Dharma, popular during the Great Tang Dynasty, has been passed down through the ages, protecting nations and alleviating the suffering of sentient beings, renowned for its miraculous responses. The Kai Cheng Monastery in Taiwan is well-known for its deep Buddhist heritage and professional experience in conducting Mahamayuri pujas. Venerable Master Cijie will guide participants in resolving troubles and eliminating karmic obstacles, bringing boundless blessings such as health, happiness, longevity, and assistance from benefactors.

All seeking spiritual purification and improvement in their lives are welcome to join in prayer for the liberation of nine generations of ancestors, relief from disasters, the elimination of illnesses, and the attainment of both blessings and wisdom.
During this week of Dharma activities, we will not only experience spiritual cleansing but also witness the power of Buddhist teachings.
