Known as Je Tongchoe in Tibetan\, this extremely meritorious puja includes the offering of 1000 candles\, 1000 tormas\, 1000 incense\, 1000 water bowls and 1000 flowers so that disciples can accumulate oceans of merits for our lama to return once more to continue turning the Wheel of Dharma. \nIn the afternoon\, there will be auspicious prayers of Tsem Rinpoche’s Guru Yoga and Name Mantra chanting to make special requests for Rinpoche’s blessings\, and recitations of Manjushri Namasamgiti and Tsem Rinpoche’s Swift Return Prayers to create the necessary causes and merits for the successful search\, recognition and enthronement of Rinpoche’s new incarnation. \nWe hope you will join us in prayer on this special day\, and visit the Tsem Rinpoche Relic Temple to make prayers\, offerings\, prostrations\, and circumambulations at Rinpoche’s Relic Stupa — as one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for a sincere practitioner is the lama’s stupa and abode. \n\n Visit the holy Relic Stupa at the Tsem Rinpoche Relic Temple\, the first of its kind in Malaysia.\n\n The 7ft Tsem Rinpoche Statue in the Relic Temple.\nHow to join\nTsem 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.

Tsem Rinpoche entered parinirvana on September 4\, 2019\, we celebrate our lama on his parinirvana day instead of his birthday. 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. \nSimilarly\, 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. \nTherefore\, 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. \nThe 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.

As such\, it is often said that enlightenment is impossible without Manjushri.

SUMMARY:Death & Dying: A Meditation Workshop

Our sangha and senior pastors will introduce you to the Buddhist forms of death meditation and guide you through experiential exercises designed to transform your perspective of life and death. Whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner\, this workshop is for you. \nEvent Details\n\n9 – 10 Nov 2024 (Sat – Sun)\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\nRegistration closes Wednesday 6 November\, 2024\n\n\nMORE INFO + BOOKING
