Stupa of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö in Tashi Ding, Sikkim. Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the parinirvana of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. Remembering the Masters pays tribute to this outstanding master with a beautiful film that also features a number of interviews of disciples and contemporaries of his. At Lotsawa House you will find a selection of texts by and about Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. Please visit Rigpa News to see how the anniversary of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö according to the western calendar was recently celebrated in Lerab Ling. The displayed photo shows the Stupa that contains relics of him in Tashi Ding, Sikkim. It was erected by disciples of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö and was later painted in gold by Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche. Tashi Ding is maybe the most sacred place in Sikkim.
