That is because, His Holiness the Fifth Dalai Lama was a great teacher with the mastery of the teachings and practice, not having to still rely on others. And, since the text was written to suit the mental capability of the people at that time, it stands out as a distinct commentarial text on Lamrim, the stages of the path to enlightenment. The very title of the text, \u201cTeachings from Manjushri\u2019s Mouth\u201d, expresses the meaning that the text is to be regarded as no different from as if spoken by Jey Rinpoche, the human manifestation of Manjushri.<\/p>\n<p>His Eminence Rinpoche explained that <em>Manjushri\u2019s Words<\/em> by the All-Seeing the Great Fifth is of not that many words, compared to other Lamrim commentarial texts. Yet, since greatly vast subjects are covered in summary within even few lines of the teachings of the All-Seeing the Great Fifth, it is difficult to elucidate in details the teachings of His Holiness the Great Fifth Dalai Lama. There are many parts in them that are similar to that of Jey Rinpoche\u2019s wordings. In terms of the major texts, His Holiness the Great Fifth Dalai Lama had written on all the five major texts.<\/p>\n<p>His Eminence Rinpoche then remarked that the present teachings are at the long-standing repeated request from Gontse Gadhen Rabgyeling Monastery, Bomdila, though a series of teachings on Jey Rinpoche\u2019s middling-version of Lamrim was already given by His Eminence Rinpoche at the monastery some years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter, His Eminence began by bestowing the Transmission-blessing of the text, followed by explanatory commentary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2522\" src=\"https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/samdhongrinpoche.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Mon_3_22-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>In the morning of 14 June 2022<\/strong>, prior to concluding the ten-day teachings on <em>Manjushri\u2019s Words<\/em>, on the occasion of the day being Vesak Purnima (Vesak Full Moon), His Eminence Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche kindly bestowed <em>\u015a<\/em><em>rama\u1e47er<\/em>-novice vows to a large number of recipients, in the vihara-temple of Gontse Gadhen Rabgyeling Monastery, Bomdila.<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, His Eminence Rinpoche consecrated the newly-installed statue of Buddha, at the intersection near Gontse Gadhen Rabgyeling Monastery, in commemoration of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama\u2019s sojourn in Bomdila, from 12 April \u2013 17 April 1959, on the way to exile.
