Anniversary Pujas for Khenchen Rinpoche’s Parinirvana
January 17 - 19, 2025
A DHARMAKAYA PROGRAM
On the third anniversary of Khenchen Rinpoche Drupon Trinley Paljor’s parinirvana, the Dharmakaya Center for Wellbeing will hold a special weekend of commemoration. Kagyu masters will perform pujas beginning on Friday afternoon through Sunday morning. The ceremonies will conclude before lunch on Sunday.
Sangha members and all those whose lives were touched by Khenchen Rinpoche are invited to join the lamas in the Meditation Hall during the pujas. Everyone is welcome to participate in some of the pujas; sangha members may observe but not participate in others. The schedule below gives the timing for both.
