Shamarpa and Karmapa's Rainbow sky - Shar Minub (1/8/14)



Blessings from His Holiness Shamarpa and His Holiness Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje.

Natural rainbow sky appears after 4pm at Shar Minub Monastery. This beautiful rare display lasted for more than 2 hours. 


1 day after His Holiness Shamarpa's cremation and during the time when His Holiness Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje was blessing devotees in the main shrine hall.

The sight is beyond our comprehension. The sky turned into multicolours for more than 2 hours. The colors keeps changing and the formation keeps changing. As the sky was in such rare display, almost everyone is seeing this for the very first time. The locals keep coming up to the monastery to get blessings from His Holiness after they spread the news amongst themselves. When we left Shar Minub after 6pm, more and more locals came.

These are things that cannot be explained. Thousands of us were blessed to witness this rare rainbow sky.

Got this quote from my friend:
The attainment of the rainbow body is typically accompanied by the appearance of lights and rainbows. - Reginald Ray, Secret of the Vajra World. Shambhala 2001, page 323n
