Lama Chopa Tsog for Lati Rinpoche, Thursday April 15, 7:30pm
We are very sad to announce that His Eminence Lati Rinpoche passed away on Monday April 11 at 5:45am. H.E Lati Rinpoche, a former abbot of Ganden Shartse Monastery, was a holder of the complete Ganden Lineage, a master of Sutra and Tanta and the teacher and tutor of many Lamas in the Gelug Tradition including our very own Precious Teacher, Zasep Jamseng Rinpoche. H.E Lati Rinpoche visited Gaden Choling over the years to bestow initiations and give commentaries and teachings. As a thank-you for the kindness of H.E. Lati Rinpoche and in order to request his swift return for the sake of all beings, Zasep Rinpoche has requested all of his centres to gather to do Guru Puja in honour of H.E Lati Rinpoche. All are welcome, please join us if you can. (altar set-up is at 7:00pm).
What is Lama Chopa (aka Guru Puja)? Lama Chopa is a unique Guru Yoga Practise that comes directly from Buddha Manjushri. During this puja, we make devotional offerings to our teacher recalling his true nature, special qualities and unbounded kindness. We also engage practises of purification, accumulating merit and request blessings to achieve all of the essential realizations of Lamrin, Lojong and Tantra. Time will be given for personal dedications for the swift return of H.E Lati Rinpoche. Date: Thursday, April 15, 7:30pm Location: Gaden Choling More information about H.E. Lati Rinpoche is here.
