Rinpoche received many questions regarding people who represent themselves as Rinpoche’s lineage holder or official representative. Rinpoche asked us to inform everyone that while he has given several students permission to teach and lead Chod practice, he has not empowered anyone as his lineage holder of the Shije, Chod or Longchen Nyingthig traditions.
Further, Rinpoche did not appoint a “Dharma heir” or “official representative” or authorize any person or organization to raise money or perform other activities in his name.
we have a new batch of DVDs. These DVDs are an excellent way to learn the Chod practice and melodies by watching Rinpoche perform the practice. Please send an email to info@lamawangdu.org for more information.
Rinpoche will be in the Los Angeles area from February 13th through the 22nd and in the San Francisco area from February 23rd through March 1st.
