The ban on Dorje Shugen practice has done damage on many levels. To think that the current incarnation of Ven. Zawa Tulku Rinpoche cannot be resident at his previous incarnation’s monastery must be devastating for the people of Chating. They who so loved him so much that they went to extent of requesting Gaden Shartse Monastery in India to help in the search for his incarnation. And, there was even and enthronement ceremony for the current incarnation at Chating.

Ven. Zawa Tulku Rinpoche has kept his commitment to his Gurus and have kept his practice of Dorje Shugden and still managed to do great work in helping centers in Canada to grow for the benefit of many. This despite his heavy load of travelling the world giving teachings.

May Ven. Zawa Tulku Rinpoche live long and continue to turn the Wheel of Dharma both in Canada and the rest of the world for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Biographies of these amazing Lamas give me true inspiration. It is however always sad to know that given the status of the ban that Zawa Rinpoche current incarnation cannot be in Chating to turn the wheel of dharma. I can only imagine how disheartening it is for him not to be able to be in Chating, and more sadness for the Chating community not to have their Teacher with them. I am also sure that they will not be able to go to Canada to receive teachings from Chating. May I pray that the ban be lifted so that communities like Chating be reconnected to their teacher.

Zawa Tulku Rinpoche the previous incarnation was a monk of Gaden Shartse Monastery in Tibet. He has two root Gurus Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and Kyabje Zong Rinpoche who guided him in his studies eventually achieving Geshe Lharampa Degree. Zawa Rinpoche was also a healer who heals by blowing. He passed away at 73 years old. After his passing away the people in Chating ask Gaden Shartze Monastery to help look for his reincarnation. Trijang Rinpoche ask the father of a boy to send his son to Gaden Shartze Monastery and given the name of Tsering Dorje. In 1982 Tsering Dorje was recognised as the reincarnation of the previous Geshe Zawa Rinpoche. He went back to his homeland in Chating to visit. Upon returning his Guru Geshe Tsultrim request him to be resident teacher in Chang Chub Choling, Temple Buddhist Temple in Montreal with his assistant Gen Lobsang Tashi.

The current Zawa Tulku (pictured above)could not stay in Gaden Shartse Monastery anymore as he refused to swear against the practice of Dorje Shugden. So he has enrolled in Shar Gaden Monastery but residing in the United States now.

I pray Zawa Rinpoche lives long and brings immense benefit to many as his previous incarnation.
