In the past\, we requested Rinpoche to live long but now\, we are requesting Rinpoche to swiftly return\, and that we may have the merits to find his unmistaken incarnation. Similarly\, when Rinpoche was physically with us\, we devoted ourselves to our lama through deeds. Serving the lama is considered much more important than making offerings and prayers to him. Now that Rinpoche has entered parinirvana\, offerings and prayers to our lama are of utmost importance in our practice of guru devotion. Therefore\, we can maintain our spiritual connection or samaya with our lama through daily practices\, pujas\, following his instructions and advice\, and especially by celebrating his parinirvana day. The lama’s parinirvana day is also a precious opportunity for students to recall his kindness and compassion\, to rejoice in his enlightened deeds\, and to contemplate with gratitude on all that they have received from their lama.

Now that Rinpoche has entered parinirvana\, offerings and prayers to our lama are of utmost importance in our practice of guru devotion. Therefore\, we can maintain our spiritual connection or samaya with our lama through daily practices\, pujas\, following his instructions and advice\, and especially by celebrating his parinirvana day. The lama’s parinirvana day is also a precious opportunity for students to recall his kindness and compassion\, to rejoice in his enlightened deeds\, and to contemplate with gratitude on all that they have received from their lama.

Now that Rinpoche has entered parinirvana\, offerings and prayers to our lama are of utmost importance in our practice of guru devotion. Therefore\, we can maintain our spiritual connection or samaya with our lama through daily practices\, pujas\, following his instructions and advice\, and especially by celebrating his parinirvana day. The lama’s parinirvana day is also a precious opportunity for students to recall his kindness and compassion\, to rejoice in his enlightened deeds\, and to contemplate with gratitude on all that they have received from their lama.

Similarly\, when Rinpoche was physically with us\, we devoted ourselves to our lama through deeds. Serving the lama is considered much more important than making offerings and prayers to him. Now that Rinpoche has entered parinirvana\, offerings and prayers to our lama are of utmost importance in our practice of guru devotion. Therefore\, we can maintain our spiritual connection or samaya with our lama through daily practices\, pujas\, following his instructions and advice\, and especially by celebrating his parinirvana day. The lama’s parinirvana day is also a precious opportunity for students to recall his kindness and compassion\, to rejoice in his enlightened deeds\, and to contemplate with gratitude on all that they have received from their lama.
