Day and stars were in perfect harmony for the Ceremony of consecration of the Temple, Stupas and Statues of Jangchub Jong – Dorzong Monastic Institute - , ceremony known as RABNE in Tibetan.

Kyabje the Ninth Khamtrul Rinpoche Shedrub Nyima from Khampagar Monastery at Tashi Jong, together with other Rinpoches, Togdens, Khenpos, Monks of both Khampagar and DMI, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo with the Nuns of Dongyu Gatsal Ling, and over 342 followers, came to Jangchub Jong – Dorzong Monastic Institute, for the Rabne ceremony  at the invitation of Kyabje the Eighth Dorzong Rinpoche.

This Rabne ceremony is sometimes also known as “Opening the eyes”. This is a very special ceremony meaning “firmly sealing”, thus the objects are consecrated by wisdom energy invited by High Enlightened Ones and absorbed into the objects, such as the Temple, Stupas and/or Statues. This wisdom energy is sealed with prayers and meditations and the energy will be alive and active until or unless requested to be devoid. Through this process, the thangkas, statues and Stupas are considered very effective and they will grant blessings and protection, filling the wishes of many devotees.

The consecration of Jangchub Jong – Dorzong Monastic Institute was done during three days, corresponding to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days of the Fifth Tibetan Month of the Iron Tiger Year 2137 (June 13, 14 and 15th, 2010).

Whole male and female Sanghas did meditation and practice of Vajrasattva, reading of Buddha’s Tripitaka Canon as well as Mother Tare’s prayers.

As mentioned in the Rabne text, the third day of the consecration ceremony is the moment when actual blessings take place and signs of effectiveness of the blessings appear. At that moment, a clear rainbow manifested in the clear sky over Jangchub Jong. This appearance gave the assurance that the consecration was completed.

The second ceremony was held on September 12th and 13th, 2010, corresponding to the 4th and 6th days of the Eighth Tibetan month of the Iron Tiger Year 2137.
