In respect and devotion to our perfect teacher we will celebrate his parinirvana by doing a great life-saving practice, offering lamps throughout the day and following the online broadcast of the ceremony that will be performed by Khadro Ling, while also offering a Rain of Blessings tsog in the Temple.
The entire sangha is invited to take part in person or online! At first, the practice of saving lives will not be broadcast.
May the blessings of Rinpoche's magnificent aspirations continue to flourish and his loving and compassionate mind continue to benefit all beings. And may we, as a Sangha, continue to pay homage to our precious Guru together.
"With the physical liberation of death comes the most wonderful opportunity to achieve all that we have been preparing for, in our practice and in our life. Even in the case of a supreme master who has reached the highest realization, the final liberation, called parinirvana, comes only at death. That's why in the Tibetan tradition we don't celebrate the birthday of the masters, we celebrate their death, their moment of final enlightenment."

WHAT IS LIFE RELEASE AND HOW TO TAKE PART?
Life release is a practice where we rescue animals that would be used for sacrifice, slaughter or any other activity that would otherwise end their lives, and then free them into their natural environment. The ceremonies include the recitation of prayers and mantras, and conclude with dedication.
Because it is considered supreme among longevity practices, it is commonly dedicated to beings who have faced obstacles to their longevity, such as risk of death or serious health problems. It can also be directed to beings whose lives have profound value to you.
We also pray that the animals themselves, after escaping suffering, may find rebirth in the form of human beings with spiritual connection.
Offerings can be made until November 14 at 8 pm (UTC-3), as follows:
- Make a deposit of the value of your offering in the account on the right.
- Send the proof of deposit and your dedication (to be read during the ceremony) using the form on the right.
- Await confirmation of your offering by email.
This ceremony is not planned to be broadcasted online.
