00:00How do you like this place?

00:04This place is very very rich with the cultural and religious aspect

00:11and it's very very unique

00:13and especially here what we see all is not in any other country

00:19especially here it's all related with Vajrayana

00:24In Buddhism there is a different school

00:26and one school which is called Vajrayana Kuti

00:29it's coming here

00:31so you have many deities, mandalas

00:34and many stupas, monuments, monasteries

00:37so this is very related to our religion also

00:40Thank you

00:42So

00:44Ok, first I will start

00:46Your name please?

00:48Wangmo Dixie

00:50From which state you came here?

00:52I come from California, from Berkeley, California

00:55Why do you choose this Buddhism religion?

00:59Why do I choose?

01:01I was born as a Buddhist

01:03so I guess maybe karmically I chose Buddhist

01:07but Buddhism is an incredible universal message of world peace

01:13and when we find inner peace

01:16then we can send a message to the entire communities in our world

01:21that there is something that belongs within each of us

01:24it's called Buddha

01:25and that means peace

01:27so if we can find the Buddha in each of us

01:30how incredible would that be

01:32to go into our interior life

01:35and to understand what the teachings of the Buddha left us

01:39the Dhamma

01:40and today we see so many different lineages of the Sangha

01:44we have the Theravada Sangha

01:46we have also some representatives from the Mahayana and Vajrayana

01:51now that is very unique about this place in Udagiri

01:55because all three assembled here

01:58and they all flourished from this place

02:00and of course we're linking to King Ashoka

02:03of course finally

02:05who as you know is one of the great great masters

02:13who could transform and bring the Dharma to India, to Aryadesh

02:18so here we are in the 21st century

02:20and we're bringing Buddhist monks from 17 countries

02:24Guru Padmasambhava is known as the second Buddha

02:27and so we have been reciting Guru Rinpoche's prayers for world peace

02:33and also beginning to introduce who is Guru Padmasambhava

02:37and so this secret

02:39this best kept secret in Odisha

02:42is now open

02:44because so many people are sending the message

02:47that they're here with the Guru Padmasambhava ceremony

02:51so this will happen every year

02:53annually

02:55and more and more will come

02:57in Bodhgaya we started something about 36 years ago

03:01with just 500 monks

03:03and now more than 30-40,000 people come every year

03:06there's an international airport

03:08so many things come up when there are international tourists

03:11can you tell me something about Guru Padmasambhava

03:14special

03:15special he was the master of all Siddhis

03:18so he was just an incredible teacher of Vajrayana

03:23and so we are so grateful to be on the soil

03:27where he taught these Vajrayana teachings

03:30where many of these people here

03:32they follow in the path of the Vajrayana

03:35so Guru Padmasambhava was also very significant

03:39because he brought those teachings from here to Tibet

03:42and then it spread to all the Himalayas

03:44so we're returning back to India

03:47this is the motherland of all spirituality

03:50this is the motherland of also Guru Padmasambhava

03:53so we are so delighted

03:55that this Guru Padmasambhava is actually here in India

03:59and it spread from here to the Himalayas
