| bio | Lama Tsering Wangdu Rinpoche entered Parinirvana on Guru Rinpoche Day, October 24, 2023. He was a yogi and healer, a master of the Longchen Nyingtik, Padampa Sangye’s Shije and Machik’s Chod Lineages, and a great protector of the Dharma. His kindness, generosity, and patience were without limit and he benefited countless beings. His cremation ceremony was held at Tara Mandala Retreat Center in Colorado on November 22, 2023.
Lama Tsering Wangdu Rinpoche was a lineage holder of the Longchen Nyingthig, Shije, and Chod traditions. Born in 1935 in Tingri Langkor, Tibet, he received transmission and training from his root Lama, Naptra Rinpoche, and completed the traditional 108 charnel ground Chod pilgrimage before he was twenty. Naptra Rinpoche sent Lama Wangdu to Nepal on pilgrimage shortly before the Chinese closed the border in 1959. A well-trained and experienced yogi, he lived in Nepal ever since, spending much of his life in retreat and serving the Tibetan refugee community. In Nepal, Tibet, and China, Rinpoche is well known as an accomplished Chod practitioner and healer. Until 2018, he was the Abbot of Pal Gyi Langkor Jangsem Kunga Ling Monastery in Boudha, Nepal, which he founded in 2000. |
