Guru Rinpoche’s Prophecy

 

Guru Rinpoche’s Prophecy

Guru Rinpoche informed Tibetans that he would leave Tibet for the land of Rakshas. Mune Tsenpo being the young king at the time, saddened by the news of Guru Rinpoche leaving Tibet, Mune Tsenpo requested Guru Rinpoche to stay back at Tibet. Mune Tsenpo also asked questions to Guru Rinpoche.

In answer to Mune Tsenpo’s questions, Guru Rinpoche spoke the following Stanzas.

 

བསམ་ཡས་ལྷ་ཁང་ཁོག་ཅིང་ལྷམ་པ་དང་།                  མཐའ་འདུལ་གཙུག་ལག་ཕལ་ཆེར་འདྲུལ་ཞིང་ཞིག།       

ང་ཡི་སྤྲུལ་པ་ལྷོ་ཡི་ཕྱོགས་སུ་འབྱུང་།        རྟེན་འབྲེལ་འགྲིགས་ན་བསྟན་པའི་སྲོག་ཤིང་ཚུགས།                 

གནམ་དཀར་རྩེ་ལ་དགོན་གཞེས་ཆེ་བར་འབྱུང་།   སྟག་ཚང་བྲག་ལ་ཡིག་དྲུག་ཆོས་སྒྲ་ཤར།

ང་ཡི་སྤྲུལ་པ་གཏུམ་པོའི་རྣལ་འབྱོར་འབྱུང་།        རྟེལ་འབྲེལ་འགྲིགས་ན་ལྷོ་ཕྱོགས་ཡུན་དུ་བདེ།

Guru Rinpoche spoke the above stanzas during the 8th century CE. But this Guru Rinpoche’s prophecy was revealed by Terton Drukdra Dorji in the 18th century CE.

Translation:

Samye Monastery's halls will be empty and dilapidated, and most of the boundary-taming temples will crumble and decay.
My emanation will appear in the southern direction. If circumstances align, the life-tree of the doctrine will be established.
At Namkar Tse, a great monastic seat will emerge. At Taktsang Rock, the six-syllable mantra's Dharma sound will resound.
My emanation will appear as a fierce yogi. If circumstances align, the south will enjoy long-lasting happiness.

  Bhutan and Its Founder Chogyal Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal (1594-1651) [1] The Unification of Bhutan into Nation State Bhutan lies in the eastern himalayan region. People were living in this part of the region from the time immemorial. The region (Bhutan) was blessed by Guru Rinpoche in the 8th century CE. The seeds of the Mahayana Buddhism arrived at the Bhutanese soil. People lived in different valleys. There was no contact among the people of different valleys as they were cut off by rivers, dense forests and mountains systems. Different valleys were ruled by petty rulers. However, in the early 17th century CE, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, a Drukpa hierarch from Ralung Monastery came to Bhutan in 1616. He was welcomed cordially by Hobtsho lama of Gasa. Wherever he visited, a crowd of people gathered to receive blessing from him. People also offered gifts to Zhabdrung Rinpoche.
