Tsem Rinpoche entered parinirvana on September 4\, 2019\, we celebrate our lama on his parinirvana day instead of his birthday. This auspicious day is a time to reflect on our guru’s extraordinary life\, enlightened activities\, and to create the causes for his incarnation to manifest the great deeds of his previous lives. \nThe lama’s parinirvana day is also a precious opportunity for students to recall his kindness and compassion\, and to contemplate with gratitude on all that they have received from their lama. \n
