GURU PUJA – REMEMBRANCE OF 7TH ANNIVERSARY
REMEBRANCE OF 7TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PARINIRVANA OF LATE GESHE LAMA KONCHOG
Lama Thubten Namdrol Dorje, the Spiritual Director of Thekchen Choling (Singapore), together with more than a hundred disciples and students, conducted a Guru Puja on 15th October 2008 as a remembrance of our teacher, the Late Geshe Lama Konchog.
Before the commencement of the puja, Lama Dorje gave a short talk about guru devotion and of how, in 1999 during his birthday celebrations, Gesha-la first instructed him to start a temple and then gave it the name “Thekchen Choling”.
It was through the kindness of both our teachers that we have been fortunate to buy this current piece of freehold land in Singapore that is gazette by the government for use as a temple. Through out the puja, many of us constantly thought of our teachers’ kindness. It was a very meaningful event.
We dedicate all the merits to HH the Dalai lama, Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Khen Rinpoche Lama Lhundup and all the gurus for their long and healthy life.We rejoice that Geshe-la has come back to us again as the six years old Tulku Phuntsok Rinpoche. We look forward to celebrate his coming 6th birthday on 28th October 2008 with Khen Rinpoche Lama Lhundrup of Kopan Monastery giving a dharma teaching in our temple.
