Following the parinirvana of our beloved teacher, H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche, we have begun commissioning statues of Rinpoche’s previous incarnations. These 24 illustrious masters include erudite scholars, prolific translators, tantric adepts, lineage progenitors and even founding fathers of the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism, all of whom were formally identified and confirmed by Dorje Shugden via the Venerable 7th Panglung Oracle.

Each 3ft statue is a one-of-a-kind piece, sculpted from clay according to traditional Buddhist depictions then casted in copper and tin bronze. The interiors will be filled with thousands of mantras, images of the enlightened beings and holy items. Upon completion, they will be permanently enshrined in the Tsem Rinpoche Relic Temple and consecrated through elaborate pujas by high lamas and esteemed monks.

Through this unique project, we hope to connect all students and visitors to Kechara Forest Retreat with Rinpoche’s incarnation lineage, and inspire their spiritual path and aspirations. Each of Rinpoche’s previous lives made a tremendous impact on the preservation and growth of Buddhism, whether they were visionary teachers, meditating hermits, outrageous mahasiddhas, ruling emperors, or simply shining examples of guru devotion and perseverance in the face of adversities. Taken as a whole, they are a powerful reminder of what a single individual can achieve over lifetimes when their entire being is devoted to benefitting others through compassion and wisdom.
