Update from Nam Dro Ling: “His Holiness Penor Rinpoche remained in thugdam for almost eight days. This morning [Friday, April 3, Indian time] he released his meditation. Now we are preparing to preserve his body for some time so that the public can pay their respects and receive his blessings.
We, the board and faculty of the monastery, have announced that the blessing ceremony will begin on the 9th of April with rituals and a ceremonial procession to carry Kyabje Penor Rinpoche’s body into the Zangdok Palri temple at Namdroling Monastery. It is expected that His Holiness’ body will remain in the temple for a month.
We welcome all of our Palyul students, Dharma friends and benefactors who wish to come for this ceremony or afterward to receive Kyabje Penor Rinpoche’s blessings.
The annual summer retreat for 2009 in the United States will be conducted as usual under the guidance of H.H.Karma Kuchen Rinpoche, H.E. Gyangkhang Tulku Rinpoche, H.E. Mugsang Kuchen Rinpoche and Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche. The details of the retreat will be announced soon in our Palyul website.”
