Jowo Rinpoche • The Jowo Rinpoche statue, Tibet’s most revered religious icon, was made in India by Vishakarma. • At some point before the 7th century, China gave India the special gift of Que Chen: a very rare and expensive fabric, made by female deities called Dakinis. India gave China the Jowo Rinpoche statue in return.
In the 7th century, Gar Ton Zen, the minister of Tibetan Dharma king SongstenGampo,asked the king’s new wife, Chinese princess Wencheng, to bring the Jowo to Tibet. • The Jowo Rinpoche statue is not only beautiful on the outside, but is also special because it contains the blessings of the Buddhas. In Tibet, everyone knows the JowoRinpoche. • Tibetans pray to see the statue before they die, because it is known that its energy will transform them and help at the time of death. They have that much faith in Jowo Rinpoche. Devotion transforms the statue from an ordinary object into a real Buddha.
For Tibetans, it is easy to get blessings because they believe that what they are seeing is very precious, a real Buddha. In Tibet, when people are sick or die, the person’s relatives offer gold to the statue. The gold is directly applied to the face and body as an offering to the Buddha. Seryektdak means “Golden Letters”. A sick or dead person’s name is written in gold on red paper and is then burned in front of the statue in a butter lamp.
There is no need to meditate or recite mantra—just seeing the statue will change the person’s energy to positive. This is called “liberation through seeing”. The result depends on one’s mind: that is your motivation, devotion, and compassion. The U.S. Jowo Rinpoche will have the same ability to transform as the original. It is truly an “emanation”.
