As Very Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche’s precious kudung arrived in Pullahari, monks, nuns, disciples and devotees bearing khataks and lining the road inclined their heads with deepest respect as the kudung passed by them. The sky was vast and clear and the sun, adorned by a light rainbow around it, shone brightly! All felt auspicious!
The precious kudung was brought to the Golden Stupa of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul. There Third Jamgon Rinpoche’s Guru Yoga was performed and Jim Scott sang “The Pullahari Theme Song” composed by Khenpo Rinpoche, a song filled with his blessings! Thereafter, the kudung was brought to the main shrine hall of Rigpe Dorje Institute. The Guru Yogas of the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa and of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche were performed. The precious kudung will remain there until the cremation on August 19th.
