Introduction
to Shithro
| Shithro,
which translates as the Peaceful and Wrathful Bardo
Deities, is considered part of the inner tantra. The Shithro empowerment
is an initiation into the Peaceful and Wrathful symbolic deities that personify
each practitioner's skandhas (aggregates of form, perception, feeling,
mental volitions and consciousness) and the great elements (wind, fire,
water and earth). The 100 divine figures commonly known, as the Bardo Deities
and they are manifestations of the practitioner's five skandhas combined
with the four elements. At the moment of death, the elements dissolve and
their nature arises as after-death visions. The Bardo instructions provide
us with a body of techniques and practices by which we can discover our
own Buddha Nature. |

Vajra
Master
The 31st Drigung Kyabgon
5th Chetsang Thugje Nyima (1828-1889) recognized 1st Ontül Kunzang
Drodül to be the emanation of Khiu
Chung Lotsawa, one of the twenty-five main disciples of Guru Rinpoche.
Since Kunzang Drodül was the elder brother of Orgyen
Nüden Dorje, his successive incarnations are known as Ontül,
which means 'the elder brother'. |
In 1954, H.H. 37th Drigung Kyabgon Chetsang
Rinpoche and H.H. 16th Gyalwa Karmapa recognized
him as the incarnation of Ontül, and
were given the name Konchog Tenzin Thrinle Rabgye Palzangpo. Accordingly,
in the same year he was enthroned in the Monastery Wogmin
Thubten Shedrub Ling in Dokham-Nangchen, Tibet. Ontül Rinpoche
is a well-known Dzogchen Master who holds both the unbroken lineage of
the Maha Mudra (ChakChen) and Maha
Ati (Dzogchen) transmission of the Drigung Kagyu
Lineage.

Shithro
Empowerment
The empowerment takes
3 full days and must be received in full. The first day involved with preliminary
consecrations of the Shithro Mandala of 100 Peaceful
and Wrathful Bardo Deities. On the second and third day the actual
empowerments of the Peaceful and Wrathful Deities are given in four phases
on each day.
==========================================
Benefits
The benefits of receiving
the empowerment, practicing it and reciting the mantra are many. One will
recognize the stages of the Bardo as they occur, will not fall into lower
existences, will attain liberation from cyclic existence and will eventually
attain Buddhahood. |
While it is good to recognize all 100 symbolic
deities, it is not strictly necessary as they are included within the Five
Buddhas and their Consorts. The crucial point is to recognize and realize
the divine nature of one's own skandhas and elements, for the after-death
visions arise from nowhere else.
==========================================================
| Amitayus Empowerment
On the 1st May, 2002 Ontül Rinpoche will
bestow the Longlife Buddha Amitayus Empowerment and blessing all participants.
This empowerment is from the Yangzab Terma
Dharma collection of texts revealed by the same Tertön Gyalwang Rinchen
Phuntsog. |

10-Year Study Courses
The Drigung Dzogchen
Community (DDC) has been set up internationally
and programs are arranged on a progressive study manner for duration of
10 years. The Shithro Empowerment, which confers
supreme blessings and purification to students for the practice of Wrathful
Yidam Hayagriva is part of the 2nd Year Meditation Practice, set forth
in the DDC programs. Till date Four Year programs were compiled namely:
Foundational Practice,
| Meditation Practice, Cutting Through Attachment
and Introduction to Dzogchen. We have also formulated a worldwide group
retreat in the vicinity of the sacred lake of Guru
Rinpoche called Tsopema Lake. This one-week retreat commences in the
year 2003 and continued every alternate year. For more info. kindly visit
the Study Courses. |

==========================================================
Practice
After receiving the
empowerment it is best that the students should engage in the Foundation
Practices and complete the entire Yangzab Dzogchen cycle of teachings or
the 10 Year Study Courses. If this is
not possible they should at least practice the short sadhana of the Three
Roots which is available during the event.
The important point to remember in the Bardo
is to recognize these appearances to be merely the projections of your
mind. Therefore, working with |
|
the practice and visualization of a Yidam such
as Hayagriva, Avalokiteshvara, Amitabha, or
some other deity, is very helpful, because by doing these deity visualizations
in this life, you cultivate the habit of recognizing appearances as projections
of mind.

figure and contemplation |
