Receiving the White Mahakala Initiation: Not Holding Back on Abundance

December 27th.
At a legendary salon in Kita-Kamakura,
I received the White Mahakala initiation
from a high-ranking Tibetan Buddhist monk,
Zase Rinpoche.

Even though some time has passed since the experience,
I still cannot fully put it into words.

The only thing I am certain of is that
my body understood before my mind did:
“So this is what abundance feels like.”

—

A Rinpoche is, in Japanese terms, like a high priest,
and in Tibet, they are said to be “living Buddhas.”
Among them, Zase Rinpoche

became a Rinpoche in his mid-twenties.
He served as the head of the Dalai Lama’s
70th birthday celebration,
and is said to be an idol for young monks.
However, my impression upon meeting him was

that he is very frank and laughs often.
He is magnanimous and warm.
He was quite different from the “image of a Rinpoche”

I had met before.

White Mahakala is also called the White Daikokuten,

and is not very familiar to Japanese people.

In the first place, in the summer of 2025,
an old stone tablet carved with Fudo Myoo was found in Wakayama,
and when Rinpoche happened to see it,
it was discovered that it was not Fudo Myoo,
but White Mahakala, and that is how
this initiation began.

Since Japanese people generally
cannot tell the difference from Fudo-sama,
I think it is truly mysterious that the Tibetan monk Zase Rinpoche happened to see it.

There were about 40 people at the initiation,
and it was peaceful and full of laughter from beginning to end.

I felt that this was just like the atmosphere
of Tsuru-chan and Baku-san, typical of the legendary salon.
What was spoken about many times there was

“
receivingabundance.”

・Opening yourself up
・Not trying to receive with a small vessel
・Not stopping the flow of abundance within yourself

After such talks and the ritual,
I received the energy of White Mahakala.

—

Beautiful light, overflowing.
The feeling of being inside that
roaring, filling, and flowing light.

I am quite sensitive to energy,
but this might be the first time
I have felt such a vast,
abundant light.

“It is so abundant.”
“There is no need to hold back at all.”

It wasn't a thought,
it was just a feeling of “having understood.”

—

After that, I was just
like a drunk person,
dazed and blissful.

What was very impressive was
the warmth of Rinpoche's hands.

The hands that gently rested on my shoulder
or were placed on my back.

It was not just temperature,
but an indescribable “warmth.”

In 2006,
I received the initiation of the Diamond and Womb Realms of the Mandala from the Dalai Lama.
At the time,

I perceived it somewhat as
“The space is nice, but a ritual is just a ritual.”
But this time, receiving the initiation again,

I clearly understood through experience
what it means to connect a space to a different dimension.
I thought, such a person really exists.
—

Since the day I received it,

I have been chanting the mantra every day like homework.

I feel every day that
this is what it means for a “mantra to enter the body.”

I am currently in the middle of decluttering.
I am repeating the preparations
to receive new abundance.

—
When I went to Ise,
there were many moments where I felt an affinity

with the energy of White Mahakala.

Even though I still cannot fully put it into words,

I will properly receive abundance,
and spread that abundance.

For now, I will just
cherish that feeling.
