Message from Tempa Lama: offering for the enthronement of the 34th Menri Trizin

I will be traveling to the enthronement of the new Menri Trizin at Menri Monastery, India, on September 6-7 and I need your help to be able to make an offering to His Holiness and to the Menri community on behalf of the Olmo Ling community.

I was fortunate to grow up under the close guidance and care of the previous spiritual head of Bon, the 33rd Menri Trizin Lungton Tenpa Nyima. His Holiness left his physical body on September 14, 2017. On January 1, 2018, Geshe Dawa Dhargyal was determined as the new spiritual head of Bon and Abbot of Menri. Bon nuns and monks from across Asia conducted a special weeklong prayer ritual under the guidance of the Menri head teacher, Ponlop Rinpoche. With the blessing of the protector deities of Bon, the name of Geshe Dawa Dhargyal arose from the prayer urn at the end of the ceremony.

Our connection with the Menri Abbot has been the deepest blessing of my life and a guiding light of inspiration for Olmo Ling. As you know, Olmo Ling Bon Center & Institute has received the honor of affiliation with Menri Monastery from the 33rd Menri Trizin.

The enthronement of the worldwide spiritual head of Bon is a very rare occasion. Traditionally, Bon monasteries and centers offer a generous gift to support the transition as well as new beneficial projects undertaken by the new His Holiness.
