Lumbini Project - The Sacred Name given by H.H. Gyalwang Karmapa

The Sacred Light
in Lumbini

H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche is highly supportive of establishing the

Karma Samten Ling M

nastery

, Lumbini. During a

teaching

with disciples in July 2004, H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche

explained the

details of the sacred location of the Meditation

Centre and its

representation in Karma Kagyu lineage, and that

grand and

solemn M

nastery

is to be built.

H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche also stated that Ven. Gyalpo Rinpoche,

due to his achievements in Buddhism, is indeed the most

suitable person in carrying out the project. His Eminence has

given reassurance that Ven. Gyalpo Rinpoche, Lama Gyaltsen

and Khenpo Kunga, who are responsible, will allocate all the

funds raised solely for the purpose of establishing the Karma

Samten Ling M

nastery

, Lumbini. All donations and

sponsorships, even a single piece of brick, will be bestowed

with Buddha’s blessings.

Endorsed by H.E. Tai Situ

Rinpoch

H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Orgyen Trinley Dorje highly
regards this project and has given a sacred name to Karma
Samten Ling Meditation Centre as "Supreme Noble Self-
Arising Lamp Monastery". The meaning is equivalent to and
symbolizes the everlasting sacred fire that glows at the holy
place which is adjacent to where the Meditation Centre is being
built. The sacred name Supreme Noble Self-Arising Lamp
Monastery signifies that the Buddha’s radiance will glow
forever, illuminating the universe of Dharma and benefiting all
sentient beings.

His Holiness believes that building this Monastery would confer
tremendous benefit for Karma Kagyu lineage and for all beings.
