Kyabje Chime Rinpoche (10.10.1939 – 24.03.2026)
To our dear Dharma brothers and sisters around the world who have a connection with our precious teacher, Kyabje Chime Rinpoche.
It is with unbearable sorrow and deep regret that we inform you of the passing of our beloved teacher.
Rinpoche passed into Parinirvana this morning, 24th March 2026, the sixth day of the second month of the Fire Horse Year in the Tibetan calendar. Although physically unwell for some time, Rinpoche’s mind remained lucid and clear to the end.Â
Rinpoche’s vast compassion, loving kindness and timeless wisdom touched all our hearts. To find such a realised and perfect teacher is precious beyond words, and we offer our love, devotion and heartfelt wish for Rinpoche to swiftly be reborn. We are blessed beyond words to have been part of Rinpoche’s enlightened activities in establishing the essence of the authentic teachings of the Vajrayana here in the West.
In accordance with Tibetan tradition, we will be performing prayers and practices here for him at Marpa House. Further details will follow soon.
With immense sadness,
The Trustees of the Dharma Trust, Marpa House.
