Announcement of the Parinirvana of His Eminence Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche

With deep sorrow, I share the news of the Parinirvana of our beloved teacher, His Eminence Yongdzin Rinpoche. His presence was a light in this world — humble, wise, and filled with boundless compassion. Though his physical form has dissolved, his teachings and blessings continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched. In silence, in stillness, in the space between thoughts — he is there. He is always there in our hearts. May we honor his life by living his wisdom.  Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Please stay updated on news from Ligmincha centers worldwide as they organize in-person and online prayers and ceremonies with resident lamas for His Eminence Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche.
