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.

The Sangha of Mindrolling Mourns
the Passing of Kyabje Penor Rinpoche
It is with a sad heart that we announce the passing into parinirvana of Kyabje Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche, the 11th Throneholder of the Palyul Lineage of Nyingma. His Holiness Penor Rinpoche passed into parinirvana on the 27th of March, 2009. On behalf of all the Rinpoches and the entire sangha of Mindrolling we offer prayers and aspirations for the swift return of Kyabje Penor Rinpoche. The sangha of the Mindrolling Monastery dedicates the Minling Dorsem Drubchö to the parinirvana of Kyabje Penor Rinpoche. The Drubchö began on the 3rd day of Kyabje Penor Rinpoche's parinirvana and will continue for several weeks.
