Mirik Practice Schedule in 2004

The following information was provided in conversations and email with Eric Triebelhorn in Mirik, India.

Friday, August 20, 2004 Rinpoche's body, which is packed in a box, was carried around the monastery in kora (circumambulation). Later, to everyone's amazement, many people discovered relics on the ground. They looked like coarse salt grains or pearls.

Saturday there was a huge rainbow around the sun. That night there was something similar around the moon.

As we had heard earlier, Gyaltsap Rinpoche (one of the principle regents of the Karma Kagyu Lineage) arrived in Mirik immediately. Many others have been streaming in. Monks from Ralang (Gyaltsab Rinpoche's monastery) and Rumtek (Karmapa's seat), both in Sikkim, are there. Drupon Rinpoche is also there. People we know from Taiwan and Hong Kong are there, and others from around the world.

Prayers are going on from 5 am until 9 pm (4:30 pm until 8:30 am Pacific Time). The ceremonies are being held in the teaching hall of the new monastery.

Tomorrow they will start a week of Gyalwai Gyamtso (Red Chenrezig) practice. The schedule for the main pujas is:

Note: the dates specified above are inferred from the information Eric gave us and may not be completely accurate.

Evening Prayers

Prayers are being offered each evening in Mirik, recited in the following order.

Both Gyaltsab Rinpoche and His Holiness Karmapa have said that Rinpoche's reincarnation will come soon.
