Three Mindrolling Buddhas

Several years before his parinirvana in 2008, Kyabje Mindrolling Trichen had expressed the wish to his daughters, Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche and Jetsün Dechen Paldrön, that one of three identical Buddha statues be brought from India to adorn Lotus Garden, the new seat of Mindrolling in the West. Of the two other Buddha statues created from the same mold, one adorns the Great Peace Stupa at the Mindrolling Monastery in Dehradun, India and the other resides at the Lava Monastery in Kalimpong, India, a branch monastery of Mindrolling.
