Thinley Norbu Rinpoche’s 14th Decho with Ven. Khentrul Thadral Rinpoche
Join us in person or online to commemorate the parinirvana of our beloved teacher through Dechö, a time-honored Vajrayana observance dedicated to remembrance, devotion and connection with lineage blessings. The Dechö will include the practice of Dorsem Lama Chöpa, with online and Shrine Room texts provided.
Lama Tharchin Rinpoche said of Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche’s Dechö, “‘De’ is the time when Kyabje Dungse Rinpoche passed into Parinirvana and ‘Chö’ is the aspect where the student can make offerings to connect with the blessings of Rinpoche’s wisdom mind. Dechö is important because the time becomes very holy and special … I am not saying that when Rinpoche was alive there was less blessing. I am saying that when Rinpoche passed and the structure of his body opened, Rinpoche’s wisdom mind was and is able to pervade everywhere and the penetration of Rinpoche’s blessings became more powerful.”
By participating in Dechö, practitioners join a living tradition upheld by generations of students, honoring the masters who formed this lineage and brought forth teachings that continue to inspire and transform our lives.
In Vajrayana Buddhism, Dechö days are considered especially auspicious for renewing samaya, accumulating merit, offering tsok and butter lamps, and strengthening devotion and lineage connection. Offerings may be made in support of this practice.
