Family member passed, question

Post by gzodzilpa »

A family member committed suicide recently. Does H.E. Garchen Rinpoche still do a mass practice for the dead once a month or so, if yes where can I submit her name to be part of that?

Thanks a bunch.

Not sure. Try to write Garchen institute. Hope someone else will be more helpful.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

First of all my condolences for your loss.
Secondly if the Garchen Institute does not respond to your mail please let us know as I might know another way to gain contact.
Be well and take care.

Update: Garchen institute got back to me yesterday and asked for her name and date of passing. She is being added to the prayer list, the next one of which will take place Nov 5.

Thank you all for the kind words.
