Dear Friends,
As some of you are aware Rinpoche is unwell and has been undergoing medical tests. He is being exceptionally well taken care of by an excellent medical team and is surrounded by his family. He and his family thank you for and appreciate your prayers, messages and concern.
This is a time to deepen our connection with Rinpoche through prayer and practice. Please find below the prayer offered by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche two weeks ago and translated by Lama Wangmo:
“Recently, I heard that Rinpoche has been unwell, which caused me great concern. For the benefit of the teachings and sentient beings, it is essential that he live long.
