Kyabje Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche was the kind hearted teacher of our own Khenpo Karten Rinpoche.   Sangye Tenzin spent 21 years in Chinese prison, yet he transformed the experience into pure spiritual food, and left the prison with only good wishes for his captors.  He is a Buddha appearing in this world, and March 27th, 2020 marked the 19th anniversary of his passing into nirvana.

On Monday, April 20th, in solidarity with Khenpo Karten Rinpoche’s home monastery in Tibet and the beautiful remembrance ceremony they offered on March 27th, we will remember the great kindness of Kyabje Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche by reciting his Guru Yoga composed by His Holiness the Karmapa and our own precious teacher, K.K. Rinpoche.  We will reflect together on how we can use this great example in our lives.   The prayers will be shown on the screen, so viewers can practice together.
