Before returning to India from Seattle in March 2020, Rinpoche sat down with Ellen Braun to answer questions for this podcast on his book “Wake Up to What Matters” (Shambhala Publications).

At the request of H.E. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, H.E. Avikrita Rinpoche recently composed a sang-cho (smoke puja) of Parnashavari, which Avikrita Rinpoche and Abhaya Rinpoche led for the first time in Dzongsar today with a limited select group of Khenpos. The ceremony will be performed every day in rotation by Dzongsar monks for the time being.

Parnashavari prayers protect one from the danger of diseases. You can find a translation of the dharani of Arya Parnasavari by Abhaya Rinpoche here: https://www.sakya.org/2020/02/prayer-for-the-coronavirus-outbreak

A short video presentation by H.E. Sakya Khöndung Avikrita Rinpoche titled “Action Without Anger”

The video addresses this main question:

“Rinpoche, I’m very worried about many issues facing my community, my country and our planet, and feel that is my responsibility as both a global citizen and practitioner of the Bodhisattva path to contribute toward overcoming these problems. However, sometimes I am also worried that this is at odds with my Dharma practice because I find myself getting not just upset and stressed out but really angry and even enraged at the perpetrators of the injustice and pain our world faces. What’s your advice?”
