| Before Nechung Rinpoche actually headed for
Do-Kham,
he requested the advice of the Dharma protector, who said, 'Initially
there will be some pertinent problems. However, if you were to open the
Ne-Ze (grain cascade) of Khentse Rinpoche and open the sealed scroll
contained in it, you will find a Guru Yoga text, a treasure object
discovered by the great treasure master Ogyen Lerab Lingpa, otherwise
known as Terton Sogyal, and [if you] subsequently commission the sangha
of Nechung to recite this text when they assemble, you will fulfill your
mission.' |

Accordingly, Khentse Rinpoche also handed over the Guru Yoga text, along
with the image of Guru Padmasambhava, with great pleasure. Thus, on the
22nd day of the ninth Tibetan month of the Iron-Hare Year, the day of
the Buddha Shakyamuni's Descent from Heaven, the image was brought to
Lhasa and housed in the Tsuglag Khang amidst a grand ceremonial welcome
accorded by the Tibetan government.
On the tenth day of every Tibetan month, a group of eight Nechung monks
are required to make a Tsog offering based on Thug-Drub Drag-Po Tzal
(Bestowal of Heart's Wrathful Accomplishment.)
