One year at Rinpoche’s VA teaching, we requested during lunchtime audience that Rinpoche come to teach 35 Buddhas at a center nearby. Instead, that very afternoon, Rinpoche concluded by performing the entire 35 Buddhas practice right in front of our eyes while facing the Buddha in the teaching hall with one of us seated just inches from Rinpoche. An instantaneous response from an authentic Wish-Fulfilling Jewel.

We are truly grateful to Shamar Rinpoche for providing us with a path filled with the promise of realization as free of traditions, tortures, & tricks as possible. In this age of envy, we hope that Rinpoche’s teachings continuously bloom as a testament to pure motivation, wisdom, and conduct. What an unrivaled gift to encounter such a straightforward teacher & teaching. May we never take this for granted, & may liberation be the only result for all who hear, understand, & practice Pure Dharma.

Thank you Rinpoche for your instantaneous pure love, “unbreakable like diamond”, which continues to illuminate our hearts & minds. Please remain with us~

I am so happy I met Rinpoche when he visited Seattle this year. I was thrilled to be in his presence, hear him speak and to get a copy of his wonderful book “The Path to Awakening.” The mala he blessed is being used to do Amitabha practice and I greatly look forward to meeting the 15th Gyalwa Shamarpa. Shamarpa Khenno!

I received a Vajrasattva empowerment from Rinpoche and felt a beautiful and transforming energy. Thanks for all what you did for us Rinpoche. May you swiftly return for the benefit of all beings.

la rencontre avec le Shamarpa est un des moments les plus forts de ma vie.

My Dearest Great Guru, H.H. Shamarpa, the Great Buddha Amitabha,

How are you in Dewachen now? I really miss you very very much!
This week I keep thinking of all the happy and touching memories with you, especially for the first time and the last time I met you.
Your beautiful and cheerful smile was like the bright sunshine which made me feel warm and safe, I will never forget it!
Thank you very much for all your great teachings and great blessings, I will keep working hard in dharma practicing and praying for you to rebirth very very soon _()_

My Dearest Great Guru, H.H. Shamarpa, I know you are always with us, never separate!

With all my great devotion and all my prayers,

Dechen Lhamo

“Vajra Song for the Passing of the great Shamarpa on behalf of Buddhismo Italia Forum”

With your passing you left us in a deep Night, without Moon and Stars.
With the melancholy of someone who lost a Father and a Guide I sing to you these sad thougths

Following the illusions of this life, we neglected to nurture Your precious teachings.
Enjoyng bad companies and unsatisfying social relationships, we prefered them to Your profound blessing.
Because of our negative karma and repeated breakages of Samaya, we didn’t let Your nirmanakaya form to stay long in our World.
Under the illusion that life is endless, we missed all the opportunities to meet You and to be guided towards Perfection.

Autumn foretells a sad Winter of Death, but the blessing of Amithaba consoles us with thoughts of gratitude and hope
From the Land of Limitless Light, may your Red Crown awakens our minds, and transforms unreality into Reality.
May the Sun of your next incarnation rise soon in order to comfort our afflicted hearts, and may this be the dawn of a new beginning
Then, Your wishes will become true, and together, Karmapa and Shamarpa will lead us to Complete Enlightment.

I met Sharmapa in Austria for the first time where he gave us the empowerment on Avolokiteshwara. Being in his presence was like walking on air and being in love with the whole world! He was a unique teacher and person. May he come back soon !

यह शब्द Emanation of infinite love that Your Teachings and Your Qualities radiate with no end? That You reach Dewatchen, from there to guide us again and again until our Enlightenments.
