His Holiness the late Kyabje Dilgo Khentse RinpocheThis year marks the 100th birth anniversary of His Holiness the late Kyabje Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche. To pay tribute and celebrate the main accomplishment of His Holiness a three day special prayer ceremony is being conducted at the Satsam Chorten, Paro. His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo attended the ceremony yesterday.
Around 300 monks including Anims and Trulkus from Bumthang Kharchu, Tharpaling, Lhalung, Nimalung and Wangsisina Dratshangs are performing the payer ceremony. It is being presided over by Kyabje Talung Khentse Rinpoche and His Eminence Ugen Tenzin Jigme Lhendup, the incarnation of the late Kyabje Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche.
The prayer ceremony was attended by His Majesty the fourth Druk Gyalpo, Her Majesty the Royal Grandmother Ashi Kesang Choeden Wangchuck, Their Majesties the Queen Mothers and Her Royal Highness Ashi Kesang Wangmo Wangchuck.

Hundreds of devotees are attending the prayer ceremony. The sacred relics of His Holiness are also being displayed for the public. A movie on the life of his late Holiness will also be screened for the public.
His Holiness the Late Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was born in 1910 in eastern Tibet to a family descended from the Royal lineage of the 9th century King Trisong Detsen. When he was still in his mother’s womb, Rinpoche was recognized as a Trulku or incarnation by the illustrious teacher Mipham Rinpoche. He was enthroned as the emanation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, one of the most important Tertons and writers of the 19th century.
Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche studied with many great teachers, including his root Guru, Shechen Gyaltsap from whom he received all the essential empowerments and instructions of the Nyingma tradition. From the age of fifteen until he was twenty eight, he spent his time meditating in silent retreat, living in isolated hermitage and caves.
In the late 1950’s Rinpoche and his family fled Tibet. They were welcomed in Bhutan by the Bhutanese Royal Family.
The opening centennial celebration was held in Kathmandu, Nepal on February 20. Apart from Bhutan, activities will be held in Europe, Northern America, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia.
The closing ceremony will be held in Bodhgaya, India on December 28.
