His Holiness Penor Rinpoche Passes Away

Mar 27, 2009

His Holiness Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche has passed away in India. The Sakyong, presently in Germany, will be sending an address to the Shambhala community in the near future. Until that time, Vajrasattva mantra may be done by vajrayana students.

His Holiness has been a spiritual master to the Sakyong for many years. The Sakyong studied with His Holiness and His Khenpos at Namdroling, the largest Nyingma teaching centre in the world.

His Holiness Penor Rinpoche recognized the Sakyong as Mipham Rinpoche and conferred the Enthronement of the Sakyong in 1995, and the Sakyong Wangmo in 2008.
