H.E. Chöje Ayang Rinpoche Teaching at Opak Kyilkhor Ling

Ayang Rinpoche is currently giving his Phowa Course at the Opak Kyilkhor Ling Amitabha Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, to hundreds of Himilayans and people from all over the world. On the concluding day, March 22, they will hold an Amitabha Tsok Offering puja together with a Liberation Ceremony for the deceased.

Rinpoche says the Ceremony to Liberate Dead Beings is the best time to dedicate prayers for the departed beings. Anyone who would like to make offerings and dedicate prayers to family members, friends, loved ones or pets who have passed, please make your offering and send in names of the deceased by Tuesday, March 21st at 5 pm (Pacific time) to be included in the prayer list for the Liberation Ceremony. Offerings are appreciated at any time.

To make offerings, please use the link below or send a check made out to Amitabha Foundation to P.O. Box 2572, Aptos, California 95001. If you send a check, please email the names of the deceased for whom you are sponsoring to info@amitabhafoundation.us. Donations sent through the Amitabha Foundation US are tax deductible in the US.

Those interested can offer online at one of the suggested levels below. You are welcome to make offerings for tsok without adding names for liberation prayers.
