Cooperation with Jado Rinpoche – TK Rinpoche’s journey to Mongolia

June 9, 2019

Jado Rinpoche had been asked to give a special Yamantaka transmission at Ganden Monastery in Ulaanbaatar, and therefore asked TK Rinpoche to support him.

Earlier this year, Jado Rinpoche and TK Rinpoche met in Kathmandu to discuss their cooperation for a planned transmission in Mongolia. Jado Rinpoche, who is very close to the 14th Dalai Lama and has received many rare transmissions from him, had been asked to give a special Yamantaka transmission in its entirety at Ganden Monastery in Ulaanbaatar, and therefore asked TK Rinpoche to support him and take over the compilation of the very old and partly incomplete material.

The preparations for this took several months and many old manuscripts had to be sighted and evaluated. Despite immense time pressure, TK Rinpoche succeeded in editing the necessary texts, so that at the end of May the initiation and transmission could be given completely in Mongolia to several hundred people.
TK Rinpoche also had the opportunity to visit the text conservation project sponsored by the German Goethe Institute in the Ganden Monastery and to arrange further cooperation with the librarian.

Together with Jado Rinpoche, TK Rinpoche also visited the famous Manjushri Temple in the area of Ulaanbaatar (see header photo).
