Statement from the Alexandrian Gnostic Church on the death of HH Penor Rinpoche
It is with sadness that the Alexandrian Gnostic Church learns of the death of HH Penor Rinpoche, the 11th in the Palyul Lineage of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism .His Holiness entered his final meditation at 8:20 on Friday night, March 27, at the Palyul Namdröling Monastery in Bylakuppe, South India.
According to Phayul.com, "The khenpos, tulkus and faculty members sought audience with Rinpoche and prayed before him. After the prayer, without any sign of pain he smiled and passed away into parinirvana state for the benefit of sentient beings. Presently, he is in thugdam (meditative state), and the parinirvana prayers are being performed by his followers worldwide..."
We join our prayers to those of his many followers and students, and we also offer them our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss.
