Our dear friend, Venerable Lama Karma Rinchen, has passed in Hawaii January 17 at the age of 90 after a short illness. A compassionate and selfless teacher, Lama Rinchen was loved by all.  His centers in Truth or Consequences, NM and in Hawaii will be practicing Amitabha puja, and HE Kalu Rinpoche will arrive in a few days and announce further prayers for Lamala’s 49 days.  Ven. Lama Dorje has recommended that we do Chenrezig practice and recite the mantra Om Mani Peme Hung as much as we can for Lama Rinchen.
