 EMPOWERMENT'S SAMAYA

After receiving this empowerment there is no strict requirement for a daily sadhana practice. However, anyone may voluntarily take up a commitment of doing the practice. One can practice mantras of Buddha Shakyamuni, Maitreya and Avalokiteshvara and/or the related sadhana which will be shared in the Zoom chat. This sadhana was received from H.H. the Sakya Trichen in Tibetan and translated by Sakya Friends into English and other languages. 
For receiving a Sakya empowerment there are commitments also mentioned in the Seven-Limb Prayer (which is recited at the start of any Sakya empowerment): confessing all the negative deeds, rejoicing in the virtuous deeds of beings, directing one's mind towards aspiring and engaging bodhichitta, taking the Buddhist refuge and bodhisattva vows. On the day of this empowerment it is recommended to keep the vegetarian diet.

About the 26th Chogye Trichen Rinpoche: 

H.E. Chogye Trichen Rinpoche is the 26th throne holder of the Tsarpa sub-school of Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. 

The throne-holders of Chogye Trichen are all selected from Tibet’s “Che” family of the Kushang blood lineage. This tradition was passed down since the 1st Chogye Tripa(meaning the ‘Throne holder of Chogye’), where all throne holders of Chogye Trichen were selected from the male blood lineage of Kushang blood line.
The 1st Chogye Trichen was His Eminence Khenrab Chogye. Tibet’s Nalendra Monastery where the previous 25 Chogye Trichen Rinpoches were stationed, was established by the esteemed Rongton Sheja Kunrig in 1435. The throne holders since the esteemed Rongton Sheja Kunrig till the 6th throne holders were extremely outstanding, thus enabling the practice and spread of dharma to flourish in that period. However, Nalendra monastery faced with a decline during the time of the 7th throne holder. Upon the parinirvana of the 7th throne holder, the monastery invited the then Sakya Trizin to appoint their 8th throne holder.  During which, the Kushang family were noble and influential, where many members of the family were the emanations of bodhisattvas, which produced innumerable accomplished practitioners. Therefore, the then Sakya Trizin appointed His Eminence Khenrab Chogye as the 8th throne holder, the 1st Chogye Trichen. His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama gave an edict in the same time period that the throne holders of Chogye Trichen should be selected from the male blood line of the famed Kushang lineage. 

In 2003, heeding the advice of his root Guru H.E. the 25th Chogye Trichen Rinpoche, the future 26th Chogye Trichen Rinpoche joined Sakya College. Under the tutorship and guidance of most venerable Khenpo Sonam Gyatso, Rinpoche has completed His ten years study and graduated with a Ka Chu Pa Degree from Sakya College in 2013. During the stint of his studies, he was appointed as an assistant teacher at Sakya College. H.E. the 26th Chogye Trichen Rinpoche has also travelled far and wide around the world to Europe, America, Singapore, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and many other countries to bestow precious empowerments and teachings.
