Spending Twenty-Two Days Without Any Food And Water,
A Rinpoche Learns The True Vajra Meditation of The Buddha
A True Account of Hengxing Jiacuo Rinpoche Learning a Dharma, Spending Time in Retreat, and Coming Out of Meditation
Hengxing Jiacuo Rinpoche is a disciple of Great Dharma King Yangwo Yisinubu. His last incarnation was in Tibet. In this lifetime, he was born in Taiwan and is now sixty years old. The Great Dharma King conferred an initiation upon him and transmitted dharma to him. He thereby learned the highest dharma essence of Sakyamuni Buddha—the practice of vajra meditation. He went into retreat during which he meditated for 27 days, the latter 22 days of which he did not touch any water or food. All of the food and liquid sent in to him was returned untouched.
On April 10, 2005, Henghxing Jiacuo Rinpoche came out of retreat. His face was placid. He had become thin, but his spirit was glowing. The first thing he did after he left the meditation cushion was prostrate before an image of his Vajra Master, Great Dharma King Yangwo Yeshe Norbu, in order to express his appreciation. He had finally learned the highest Buddha-dharma. He had finally attained true skills relating to the magnificent meditation Buddha-dharma that leads to enlightening one’s mind and seeing one’s original nature. He was happy for all living beings in that there truly exists such a wonderful and precious meditation dharma method that leads to enlightening one’s mind and seeing one’s original nature!
At the height of summer last year, Hengxing Jiacuo Rinpoche, out of great compassion, decided to endure hardship for the sake of other living beings. He vowed to prostrate around the island of Taiwan, which is a more than 1,100 kilometer journey (i.e. more than 684 miles). More than half a year later, he had completed half the journey. Along the way, his great compassion and piety moved Guan Yin Bodhisattva to appear in the sky, empower him, and expound the dharma to him. This event caused a sensation throughout the island of Taiwan and beyond. Many people within Buddhism expressed their great admiration over such an event.
