Kungo Kalsang Choten

On the mahasamadhi of beloved Kungo* Kalsang Choten, who passed away at 7:00 a.m. on September 16, 2009, at Osel Ling Monastery, Nepal, at the age of 84:

Kungo Kalsang Choten was the half-brother of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and enjoyed a father-son relationship with Tsoknyi Rinpoche and his three brothers. He tutored Tsoknyi Rinpoche in grammar and Tibetan calligraphy (for which Kungo-la was well known), and in later years he became an important advisor and consultant to Tsoknyi Rinpoche during his early days of teaching. Kungo-la was renowned for his kindness, humility, and generosity, and he is dearly loved and treasured by all the lamas at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling. He was a supreme example of a great spiritual dharma practitioner for all, and he considered himself very lucky and fortunate to live in these celestial circumstances. (more…)
