The Parinirvana of Kyabje Trulshig Rinpoche

Kyabje Trulshig Rinpoche This past year Lotus Garden joined the entire Mindrolling sangha in mourning the passing of the great Nyingma master, Kyabje Trulshig Chökyi Lodrö Rinpoche, who passed into parinirvana on the 2nd of September. Kyabje Rinpoche was an important teacher and friend of Mindrolling, and a number of our sangha members had received the entire set of Mindrolling transmissions from Kyabje Rinpoche at Mindrolling Monastery in India in 2007.

Upon hearing of the announcement of Kyabje Rinpoche's passing, the sangha who had gathered for the Annual Retreat, offered the Vajrasattva sadhana to Rinpoche. On the 49th Day after the passing of Kyabje Rinpoche, Lotus Garden offered the first group practice of the Krodhi Kali sadhana to Rinpoche.
