Sakyong pays homage to His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
April 10, 2007
After
visiting Singapore and Taiwan where he gave public
talks and offered well-attended meditation workshops
in mid-March, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche spent a week in
China on pilgrimage to Wu Tai Shan, one of China's
sacred mountains regarded as the abode of Manjushri,
the bodhisattva of wisdom.
In the 1979 Kalapa Assembly transcripts, during the question section of the third talk on Drala, the Vidyadhara was asked if there might still be Chinese dralas present. He said: "There are lots of them, all of the emperors and all of the deities of Mount Wu Tai Shan. There are lots of them, absolutely lots of them.... I think they will be the first to agree with us, the first to come along and join us."
A highlight of the pilgrimage to Wu Tan Shan was the opportunity to pay homage at a stupa built on the mountain in honour of His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

While visiting the Wu Tai Shan temples and monasteries, the Sakyong led his small entourage of accompanying pilgrims in related practices, notably the Sadhana of Peaceful Manjushri, composed by His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. His Holiness wrote the Sadhana in the Cave of Narayana on the Eastern Peak of Wu Tai Shan. He later gave the transmission for the practice to the Sakyong and other members of the Shambhala community.
