Update on His Holiness Penor Rinpoche's Health

Palyul Ling International has sent out the following update as to the condition and health of His Holiness Penor Rinpoche.

As follows:

His Holiness Penor Rinpoche has been admitted to Columbia Asia Hospital in Bangalore, South India.

Over the past six weeks the condition of His Holiness has fluctuated, with some good days and some less so. On March 21, the Palyul Namdroling Sangha gathered at the monastery to pray for the long life and health of His Holiness. And on March 27, many high Nyingma lamas will also come to Namdroling Monastery to carry through these prayers for His Holiness. Among those who have indicated they will attend are Dzogchen Rinpoche, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Minling Khenchen Rinpoche, Ralu Rinpoche, and Ringo Tulku Rinpoche

The students of His Holiness have been advised to strengthen their connection with one another, dissolve any unsettled differences, and to dedicate their prayers for the long life and health of their teacher, and for the benefit of all sentient beings. Those familliar with Buddhist practice may focus on Riwo Sangcho and Vajrasattva.

With blessings and kindest regards,

Lama Lobsang Chophel
