His Eminence Choden Rinpoche Passes Away

We are very saddened to share the news that His Eminence Choden Rinpoche passed away on September 11, 2015, at 1:30am India time at Sera Je Monastery in South India. Choden Rinpoche was a highly respected Buddhist master and a much loved teacher, who taught at many FPMT centers over the years.

Sera Jey Monastery kindly requests all concerned organizations, Dharma centers and individuals to commence continuous recitation of Chanting the names of Manjushri and the three dedication prayers of Guhyasamaja, Heruka and Yamantaka, as much as possible in accordance with the stages of prayer for the passing of a great lama.

May Rinpoche return swiftly to continue to teach us!

The following prayers have been advised for His students to perform:
  • Chanting the Names of Manjushri and the three dedication prayers of Guhyasamaja, Heruka, and Yamantaka
  • Words of Prayer: Request for Truth (A Prayer of Dedication for all Virtuous Practices)

Additional information can be found at the FPMT site.

We will recite the prayers that Choden Rinpoche recommended at the center on Thursday at 6pm:
  • September 17
  • September 24

Everyone is welcome to come.
His Eminence Choden Rinpoche
