Ceremonies of Wogmin Thupten Shedrup Ling Monastery in Support of H.E. Lho Ontul Rinpoche's Passing & Swift Rebirth
On November 20, 2022, a great, wondrous being, our beloved Lama Lho Ontul Rinpoche passed away into the clear light of mind for all.
Lho Ratna Rinpoche has let us know that Rinpoche is presently in Thukdam, abiding in a deep meditative quality with auspicious signs. All his family is with him. Our deep condolences.
This most amazing being has brought so many gifts, both temporal and absolute, such great love to so many of us. No words can express my deep sorrow for his passing on and simultaneously great joy as we experience this extraordinary release into the light of awakeness. He will always be in our hearts, leading us on to liberation.
With deep love and an ocean of gratitude for Rinpoche’s love for us all,
On behalf of the community of NYBCC and his students in Canada and internationally,
Lama Chokyi Gyaltsen
(Lama Mark Webber)
