Lama Chopa Tsog presided by His Eminence Jhado Rinpoche for the Swift Return of Lama Zopa Rinpoche

This event is only for those who are familiar with the practice. 

On May 31 Lama Chopa Tsog will be offered on the occasion of the 49th day since Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s parinirvana. Yeshin Norbu centre has a great fortune to have His Eminence Jhado Rinpoche presiding this puja. If you want to come early to help set up the altars and offerings, please come at 16.00.

Please download Lama Chopa (you can use one-click download to download the text quicker) as well as Swift Return Prayers. If you plan to come in person and have a tablet, please bring your tablet.

Lama Chopa, also called Guru Puja, is a beautiful, profound practice where we make offerings to and request blessings and inspiration from the Three Jewels and the Spiritual Teacher (whether or not the teacher is physically present).

Lama Chopa with Tsog Offering is an excellent practice for accumulating merit and pacifying obstacles on the path to enlightenment.

His Eminence Jhado Rinpoche 
Jhado Rinpoche (Tenzin Jungne) was born in 1954 to a nomadic family living in the area of Namtso Lake, 220 kilometers north of Lhasa, Tibet. At the age of three he was recognized and enthroned as the 6th incarnation of the abbot of Jhado Monastery.

From 1992 until 1996, Rinpoche served as a teacher at Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala, the personal monastery of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In 1997, Rinpoche was appointed to the post of Abbot of Namgyal Monastery, and served the institution in that capacity until 2004.

Jhado Tulku Rinpoche is one of the most highly esteemed lamas in the Geluk lineage today. In addition to his excellent education in the Geluk monastic college system, over the years Rinpoche has also received many oral transmissions and empowerments from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his two main tutors, as well as from many great teachers from other traditions, including the famous Nyingma master Trulshik Rinpoche and Chogye Trichen Rinpoche.

Renowned for his keen intelligence and dynamic teaching style, Jhado Rinpoche is also highly acclaimed for his ability to engage Western students in ways that are interesting and personally relevant. In addition to these qualities, Rinpoche is also well known and loved for his gentle demeanour and his kindness.
