Dear Friends,

July 22nd marked the 49th day and end of the 7 weeks of Parinirvana Puja for our beloved Thrangu Rinpoche. During this time many highly esteemed Lamas from all four main sects of Tibetan Buddhism, monks, nuns and lay practitioners from around the world have come to Namo Buddha to pay respects and participate in the daily prayers.

In addition to providing the daily live stream of evening prayers, the Thrangu Media team have done a superb job of keeping everyone well informed, explaining and documenting each of the 7 weeks of pujas with photos and videos posted on rinpoche.com and their YouTube channel.

We are sharing a few of the stories here, but please visit the links above to learn more if you have not already done so.

Thank you for your kind support. ~ Debra Ann
