Dear Sangha member,

 

As we received the news of the passing away of His Eminence Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche asked all of the lamas, staff and volunteers of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery to conduct the Four Session Guru Yoga puja on Wednesday, June 18.  

 

Following instructions from His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje, all of his monks and nuns in Asia will also be practicing pujas for 49 days for His Eminence. The Guru Yoga puja at KTD monastery will be part of this sacred activity to honor His Eminence. 

 

All local sangha members and Buddhist practitioners are invited to join the Guru Yoga puja, which will start at 9 am in the morning, have a 12 noon lunch break (to which everyone is invited), and then start again at 2 pm in the afternoon, ending at 5 pm. (Everyone participating in any of the sessions of the Guru Yoga puja is also invited to breakfast and supper on Wednesday.)

 

This Four Session Guru Yoga of the 8th Karmapa Mikyo Dorje will be KTD's offering to His Eminence Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche to support his passage and to honor his wisdom and dharma activities. May his dharma activities in the future be of great benefit to all sentient beings.

Karmapa Chenno.
