VERY IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT LAMA ZOPA RINPOCHE

 

Dear Friends,

Our precious guru is sitting in meditation at Kopan Monastery. 

Rinpoche had been up in the mountains in the Tsum Valley since Monday, and had to be brought down urgently as Rinpoche was experiencing altitude sickness.

On arrival back in Kathmandu this morning, Rinpoche stopped breathing.  The main doctor at Karuna Hospital tried for some time to revive Rinpoche, but that was not  successful.  Rinpoche entered meditation at about 9.30am Nepal time, today Thursday April 13th.

His Holiness has been informed, and is giving advice.

The lama gyupas and monks are taking turns in sessions offering Cittamani Tara with Rinpoche, as advised by His Holiness. Other pujas and prayers are being offered here in Kopan.

Khadro-la has advised that this is a most important and precious time for students.  Khadro-la went on to advise that the best thing for the students to do at this time is to practice bodhicitta in particular, as well as impermanence in the context of the lamrim, and then also as much as one can to help fulfil the guru’s holy wishes.

Khadro-la insisted that we should take this opportunity to try to achieve all or some of the lamrim in our own practice.  Meditating and praying to the guru to receive his blessings and guidance is very important. And to try as much as possible to complete Rinpoche’s projects and holy wishes, so already to generate that wish that we’ll be able to do that.

Please pray and dedicate for Rinpoche to be reborn as quickly as possible in a place where he can be very quickly recognized and be of most benefit to sentient beings.

Please keep trying to fulfill Rinpoche’s holy wishes, especially to practice impermanence and bodhicitta in the context of the lamrim.  Fulfilling the gurus’ holy wishes is a very important part of inviting the guru to return.

As you know, Rinpoche was the embodiment of bodhicitta, and always stressed the importance of remembering impermanence, and the essential need to put the teachings into practice.  This is what we can do for our precious guru now – please try to follow Rinpoche’s heart advice. We can all connect with the guru and receive the guru’s blessings in this way – NOW is a very important time for this.

We will be sending out further updates regularly.

Our hearts are breaking, we take all our support from Rinpoche’s teachings, and the guidance of His Holiness and our teachers, and in our FPMT family.

Big love

On behalf of Ven Roger Kunsang
FPMT International Office

New Video Features Offerings of Light, Advice, and Prayers

The Vajrayana Buddhist Council of Malaysia, which is an association of Malaysian Tibetan Buddhist centers and organizations, has created a beautiful video of advice and prayers, featuring His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Ganden Tripa, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and many other high lamas from the various Tibetan Buddhist traditions.

The VBCM, of which the Malaysian FPMT centers are members, made a request to its teachers to pray for the victims of COVID-19 and give advice to Malaysians, who were facing many challenges.

This video is a result of VBCM’s request and includes light offerings and advice from a dozen precious teachers. In addition, many venerable ordained sangha and lay students also make light offerings. There are also many expressions of gratitude for the COVID support organized by VBCM members.

On the auspicious day of Lhabab Duchen, we invite you to please enjoy this video of light offerings, advice, and prayers from so many precious teachers:

Each time you rejoice in your own merit in this way, you collect merit like the limitless sky. Each time you feel happiness in your heart at your collection of merits of the three times (past, present & future), your merit increases like the sky."                   Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
