His
Holiness Penor Rinpoche remained in thugdam for almost eight days.
This morning [Thursday evening Pacific 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 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.
