It came as a great shock to all, to hear that His Holiness Dudjom Sangye Pema Shepa Rinpoche entered parinirvana on the 14th day of the 12th month of the Tibetan Iron Ox year, 15 February, 2022.

Born in 1990, he was recognised by numerous lamas as the incarnation of the previous Dudjom Rinpoche, including by Kyabjé Chatral Rinpoche who meticulously guided his dharma education and training.
