as given by Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche at the Dedication Ceremony held at the Holy Vajrasana Temple on May 11, 2014 to establish a Bodhighara (Bodhi Tree Shrine).
The Holy Vajra Poles stand before us.
Some see them quaking, quivering in the light.
Others feel their power and receive their blessings,
Announcing that this is the site of the Fourth Vajra Throne,
The Vajrasana empowered by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
It was to here that the Red Vajra Pill flew in 2003.
A holy site, so blessed where many will come seeking enlightenment.
After these Poles revealed the nature of this site,
The Holy Vajra Pill was empowered by a Great Vajra Being.,
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III recognized this holy being as the Kalachakra Vajra, a manifestation of Shakyamuni Buddha,
To Whom we give special praise and offer our devotion.
Green Tara appeared and gave Her blessings.
This Great Buddha, Green Tara, has also appeared here in a Buddha Light.
Now a Bodhi Tree has been planted to mark this portal to the Buddha Lands,
A sacred Bodhi Tree that is descended from the one under which Shakyamuni Buddha sat and attained enlightenment.
A Buddha Light also appeared here after I recently received a great empowerment to mark this event.
We gather to pay homage to these events,
And beseech the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
May we, too, quickly become accomplished!
