His Holiness Longtok Tenpai Nyima Menri Trizin, the 33rd Throne Holder of the Menri Lineage and leader of Bön, left his body and peacefully entered into the mind of reality 6:25 PM on Thursday September 14, 2017 at the Pal Shenten Menri Labrang.
We mourn his loss and celebrate with gratitude his years of leadership and great efforts to preserve the Bön teachings and rebuild Menri Monastery, the great seat of the Bön tradition.
We are encouraging our Gyalshen family to join us in person with Chaphur Rinpoche next Saturday, Sept. 23 from 6 pm to 7 pm to gather to honor his Holiness.
LOCATION:1608 BONITA ROAD, SAN PABLO, CA 94806
If you can’t join us in person, we will make the gathering available by Zoom so that you can perform the prayers with us in spirit as part of our cyber sangha.
Many are traveling to Menri Monastery to be with the Abbot during this transition as the 49 day cycle of death rituals is performed. Chaphur Rinpoche will also be traveling to Menri Monastery to be part of the ceremonies.
Please let us know if you will be joining us in person or by Zoom by going to this link. Thank you for taking time to RSVP. This helps us with planning.
Gyalshen Institute will be sending an offering to support these important rituals and would like to invite you to connect to the ritual by making a contribution to Menri Monastery. All money collected will be donated to Menri. Chaphur Rinpoche will bring that offering when he travels to Menri Monastery. Please use the form below to donate.
With deep love and gratitude,
The Gyalshen Board of Directors
