Parinirvana of Dudjom Rinpoche III Sangye Pema Shepa

Dudjom Rinpoche III Sangye Pema Shepa Rinpoche at Pema Osel Ling in 2018

Dear Sangha and Friends,
It is with profound sadness that we are sending this email to inform you that our sublime teacher and Lord of Refuge Dudjom Sangye Pema Shepa Rinpoche entered parinirvana on February 15.
Lama Sonam Rinpoche said, “At the time of a great teacher’s parinirvana it is an opportunity to connect with the lama’s wisdom mind, which is always present. This is the best time to do practice.”
We will be doing Vajrasattva puja every day at Pema Osel Ling starting on Saturday, February 19 until the next full moon on March 18. The pujas will be streamed live and the links will be available free of charge with registration here.
With much love,

Vajrayana Foundation
