Update 8-13-26:  from the Garchen Buddhist Institute

Dear Worldwide Sangha,
We are heartened to share that H.E. Garchen Rinpoche continues to make gradual progress, slowly improving day by day. His medical team continues to take very good care of him, providing every possible support throughout his recovery.

These gradual signs of improvement are encouraging. We remain hopeful and continue to take each day as it comes, with patience and trust in the causes and conditions supporting his recovery.

We ask everyone to continue holding H.E. Garchen Rinpoche in your prayers and practices, dedicating the merit for his continued recovery, long life, and well-being. May these prayers and dedications also extend to all beings.

May the boundless blessings of the Three Jewels, supported by our heartfelt prayers, devotion, and virtuous aspirations, bring about every favorable condition for Garchen Rinpoche’s full recovery, radiant health, and enduring long life. May the precious Dharma continue to flourish and illuminate the path to awakening for the benefit of all beings.
