HH Gyalwa Karmapa Thaye Dorje about about passing away of 14th Shamarpa, Mipham Chokyi Lodro
Message from His Holiness Karmapa Thaye Dorje about death of 14th Shamarpa, Mipham Chokyi Lodro
New Delhi, June 11, 2014
Dear dharma friends,
Even the greatest beings, including Lord Buddha himself, pass away. The impermanence of life is among the core teachings and messages of the Buddha dharma.
His Holiness Shamar Rinpoche passed away this morning. Sadly, his physical manifestation has left our material world. Yet he was and continues to be our teacher, and his aspirations and blessings will remain with us always.
We must dedicate our merits and practice to him, and do the practice of Amitabha, since he himself is the emanation of Amitabha.
So we must ask for his return, in order to benefit and guide us all towards enlightenment.
l would also like to express my compassion for His Holiness Shamar Rinpoche's brother, Jigme Rinpoche, äs well äs the rest of his family and his students.
With prayers,
With prayers His Holiness Karmapa Thaye Dorje
