Dear Friends,

As July 18 approaches, preparations for the cremation ceremony of the Kudung (sacred body) of H.E. Chöje Ayang Rinpoche are moving forward at the monastery. There is still time for you to participate.

If you wish to join in the ceremony by making an offering, it will be dedicated to the construction of the stupa that will enshrine the precious relics from the cremation, the acquisition of sacred substances (crystal, turquoise, pearls, gold, silver…) traditionally used for the filling of stupas, as well as the financial support of the cremation ceremony itself.

If you are traveling to Bylakuppe, you may, if you wish, personally offer stones, noble metals, jewelry, or sacred statues to be sealed within the heart of the stupa—the physical representation of the enlightened mind.

For those residing within the European Union who cannot travel, you have the opportunity to entrust these items to us directly or send them by mail. Please note that postal services may offer a specific secured service for sending precious items. If you choose this option, we kindly ask you to write to us in advance a contact@amitabhafrance.fr and ensure your package reaches us no later than May 21, 2026, so that we may arrange for their transport.

Your gesture of deep gratitude and generosity will allow you to accumulate immeasurable merit and will remain an integral part of this symbol of the enlightened mind.

I wish to make an offering

We rejoice in your devotion and join you in prayer for the swift rebirth of our precious teacher.
