The Jacaranda Tree Descending Nectar

        After the magnolia tree descended nectar, a jacaranda tree located within the mandala of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also descended wonderful nectar. A nectar bowl handed down to His Holiness was in that mandala. The nectar rain occurred at the time of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s birthday. Lay and monastic disciples went to that mandala to wish His Holiness a happy birthday. A Kalachakra Vajra Lang Jiu Wang Dan (Namju Wangden) thanka (Tibetan scroll painting) was displayed for worship in that mandala. A thanka of the holy image of Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva was displayed for worship on that jacaranda tree. That jacaranda tree suddenly descended nectar, and an extraordinary fragrance filled the air. When people looked upward, they could not see a cloud in the sky. The weather had been continuously clear for at least half a month with not one drop of rain. The Buddha bestowed nectar from the jacaranda tree to celebrate the birthday of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Nectar fell continuously under the hot sun causing the ground to become wet. However, outside of the area of that jacaranda tree, the ground was dry as always, without a drop of rain. The nectar fell for seven consecutive days and nights.
