How to join
Tsem Rinpoche’s Parinirvana Anniversary is an annual prayer festival in Kechara Forest Retreat, attended by important lamas of our lineage and monastic representatives from Shar Gaden, Serpom, Phelgyeling and Segyu. This year’s programme takes place from late August to late September 2024.
It is a special time for Rinpoche’s disciples and all spiritual practitioners to gather in prayer and meditation, generating a tremendous accumulation of merits and positive energy dedicated to the health, well-being and happiness of all sentient beings, and most importantly to the swift return of our precious guru His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche.
Admission to all pujas is free and everyone is welcome. To ensure we have enough seating for all guests, please RSVP your attendance here.
How to contribute
We seek your kind sponsorship to support over 20 pujas and ceremonies that are part of the parinirvana anniversary programme.
Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, is beloved for his ability to grant longevity, healing, and purification of negative karma. As the long-life form of Buddha Amitabha, Amitayus resides in the Western Pureland of Sukhavati.
Outwardly, his practice attracts an abundance of daily necessities, material resources and better life situations. Inwardly, he helps us overcome our negative qualities and lead a moral life following the principles of Dharma.
