His Holiness the Dalai Lama Benefits Sentient Beings Limitlessly

Rinpoche made the following comments regarding the blessings and benefit that His Holiness the Dalai Lama brings to sentient beings. 

It is said in the Heruka root text that when someone is a Heruka practitioner, if anyone even just touches the hand of such a great yogi, it is like receiving a blessing, it purifies that person’s negative karma, and saves him or her from being reborn in the lower realms and hell realms. Not only touching, even just seeing a great yogi who practices Heruka means one’s negative karma is purified. This is the same for people who even are nearby; they are purified. This applies to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, as well as my gurus, who are great yogis; they cause all these benefits.

When His Holiness gives a public talk, so many thousands of people attend, even tens of thousands of people, and they all receive this benefit. After a one-hour talk, they receive so much peace and happiness in their hearts, and learn so much from the talks, such as the meaning of life, the purpose of living, what they should do, and what they should abandon. They receive such clear and down to earth advice. This gives them such incredible joy and peace, and this experience is unforgettable for their whole life. So many people come to hear His Holiness’s public talks, and from even just one hour of teachings, if they put into practice not harming others but benefiting others, it is so incredible. It is like a parent giving advice to their child.

What they learn in that short time can give them so much peace and happiness in their life. As a consequence, they receive happiness in the next life, a good rebirth, a healthy long life, a beautiful body, perfect surroundings, or rebirth in a pure land, where they can become enlightened, like Amitabha or Chenrezig pure land. Here, they are able to actualize the path, cease their delusions and negative karma, and be able to be free from all the sufferings of rebirth, old age, sickness, death, and all the rest of the sufferings in samsara. Then, they are able to achieve liberation, actualize the Mahayana path, cease even the subtle defilements, and achieve full enlightenment – peerless happiness. In a very, very short time, His Holiness can benefit so many tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people like this.

His Holiness can benefit sentient beings limitlessly, like the sky. This is also the quickest way to awaken them from the deep sleep of ignorance, for them to meet the Dharma, actualize the path, and achieve enlightenment.
