Update on H.E. Garchen Rinpoche’s Health
and
Daily Pujas for the
Long Life of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche
10am -12pm and 3pm -5pm PDT (UTC-7)
Dear Worldwide Sangha,
H.E. Garchen Rinpoche is showing signs of slowly recovering. While it is still too early to predict the outcome, these small improvements are encouraging. Recovery is often gradual and can fluctuate, so we remain hopeful while recognizing that the path ahead is still uncertain.
Many Lamas have assembled at the Garchen Institute to do daily pujas for the long life of H.E. Garchen Rinpoche. The pujas will all be in Tibetan language and we do not have these translated texts for you to view.
You all are invited to join online to meditate and pray as Garchen Rinpoche has previously instructed. Please remember in Garchen Rinpoche’s recent message he stressed the importance of staying where you are to practice.
The links for the teaching on the Four Application of Mindfulness by Khenpo Tenzin and the Amitabha puja by Garchen Institute Lamas and texts are below.
May our collective devotion and the strength of our sincere aspirations continue to create the most favorable conditions for Garchen Rinpoche, for the benefit of the Dharma and all beings.
