Commemoration of the life of Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX
Our treasured and beloved teacher, Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX passed into parinirvana at 12.10 am on 24 July 2012, being the fourth day of the sixth month of the Tibetan calendar in the Year of the Water Dragon. Rinpoche, who was devoted to maintaining the essence and purity and of the dharma, passed away on the auspicious day of Chokhor Duchen, the observance of Lord Buddha's first teaching. Rinpoche’s ability to communicate the dharma and his wide range of dharmic activity benefitted thousands of people around the world. We pray for Rinpoche’swift return.
