Genyan (Protector of Thrangu Rinpoche’s Monastery) At the age of seven in 1939, the young Thrangu Rinpoche started studying with the teacher Karma Wangchuk. Occasionally, he would go to see his parents, but usually he didn’t even think about them and concentrated on his studies. He was very intelligent and understood everything taught him. Thrangu Monastery had its own protector deity which was called a Genyan. This deity looked after Thrangu Rinpoche a lot. There was a monk at Thrangu Monastery who was a clairvoyant and could see many things others couldn’t see. When Thrangu Rinpoche was brought to his enthronement at the age of five; this man saw the genyan with a retinue of many other deities come to greet him in an elaborate greeting. Rinpoche was later asked about this genyan and he said that the genyan is a protector of the area around his monastery, in other words, a local deity who became a protector of the dharma, a dharmapala. The previous Thrangu Tulku had made many offerings to this genyan and when Rinpoche was growing up, he did not make any offering to it. Things were not going well and the clairvoyant monk told Rinpoche that the genyan was not happy and so Rinpoche began making offerings to it even though he had been taught that everything is just mind. [Also when Rinpoche is asked about these types of beings, he replies that just because you cannot see them with your eyes, you cannot assume that they don’t exist.] Size: Size without Brocade: 24 inches by 16 inches Shipping: We ship within 2 business day.
