Mundgod: On 26 November 2024, Sikyong Penpa Tsering attended the enthronement ceremony of the Sharpa Choeje Rinpoche Jetsun Lobsang Dorjee Pelsangpo as the 105th Gaden Tripa at Gaden Lachi.
With profound wisdom and insight, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, on 2 November, bestowed the responsibility of 105th Ganden Tripa to Sharpa Choeje Rinpoche as the regent of Jamgon Chokyi Gyalpo Tsongkhapa, the founder of Gelug (yellow hat) school of Tibetan Buddhism.
On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the new Gaden Tri Rinpoche was ceremonially escorted to Gaden Lachi amidst a grand procession with incense and traditional welcome by the monks from the Gaden Shartse and Jangtse monasteries, along with distinguished guests and devoted followers. Rinpoche then conferred teaching on Tsongkhapa’s lam-rim.
On the subsequent day, the entire Gelug school is scheduled to offer a long-life prayer to the 105th Gaden Tri Rinpoche.
