H.H. Chöje Jigme Phuntso Jungne (Wish-Fulfilling Gem of the Dharma King) himself said: “I did a grand recitation of the Aspiration of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra at the Five Peak Mountain in China, along with ten thousand Tibetans, for taking rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, or Sukhavati.”
“At the time, when the large assembly of people was reciting the Aspiration of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, I visited the gathering for accomplishing the field of Sukhavati. When I placed my left foot at the base of the throne, the assembly recited, ‘May I be free from karma, defilements, interfering demons, and worldly samsara.’ When I reached the throne, the recitation completely coincided with, ‘Like the lotus is undisturbed by water, as the sun and moon move unhindered in the sky.’”
“Hence, this established the excellent auspicious connection of accomplishing welfare for all sentient beings and unhindered enlightening deeds, just as the sun and moon move unobstructed in the sky during this period of degeneration.” Just as he said, here in the emblem, the Wish-Fulfilling Gem in the form of the syllable ཨ is crafted upon the cushion of lotus, sun, and moon.
The lotus with three petals symbolizes the Three Supreme Jewels, the Three Roots, and the Three Kayas. The sun and moon form an auspicious connection with the complete illumination of the rays of wisdom and compassion, and with accomplishing the welfare of sentient beings equal to the sun and moon.
Above them, the syllable ཨ—the seed of the spiritual life force of all Buddhas—is adorned to signify the Dharma King, the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel who accomplishes the purposes of this life and the next as the embodiment of all Buddhas and the king of Vajra.
The limitless golden light surrounding it symbolizes the illuminating light of the Guru Dharma King’s enlightened deeds, permanently penetrating all space and spontaneously accomplished until the disintegration of cyclic existence. This splendid emblem was designed by Ju Rabsel, a Tibetan modern artist. The Tibetan words ‘Yishin Norbu’ are taken from H.H. Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche’s handwriting, blazing with blessings, majestic brilliance, and liberation upon sight. Its completion established an auspicious connection. May virtue abound.
