His Holiness the Sakya Trichen gave this teaching about the Sarvavid Mahāvairocana ritual at the request of the Singapore Buddha Sasana Society (Sakya Tenphel Ling) in August 2013.
This ritual is performed annually at Sakya Centre, India, and at other monasteries for the benefit of countless beings. In this teaching, His Holiness explains the ritual’s origin, its importance, and its efficacy to help both the living and deceased.
