With hearts united in devotion, the entire sangha of Mindrolling mourns the passing of the crown ornament of the Nyingma School, Kyabje Mindrolling Trichen Jurme Kunzang Wangyal
An inspiring example of the practice of the pure and profound Dharma of Vajrayana Buddhism.
Located near the hill town of Dehra Dun in Uttaranchal state, India, Mindrolling is situated on a specially chosen spot surrounded on four sides by the Himalayas and Shivalik Mountains, and the Ganges and Yamuna rivers. Established in 1965 by His Eminence Khochhen Rinpoche and a small band of monks as the new seat of Mindrolling in exile, it is one of the largest Buddhist centers in existence today. Mindrolling in Tibet was first established in 1676 in the Drachi Valley by Terdag Lingpa where it flourished until the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the Communist Chinese when many great masters fled Tibet.
